The Folsom Native Plant Society is cooperating with Northlake
Nature Center to replant a wildflower area and some understory plants
that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Several pounds of wildflower seeds
have been planted and members also planted additional native plants during
February and March. Many of the annual flowers and some of the perennials
are blooming. Stop by the Nature Center to see how the garden is progressing.
Be sure to check out the new page, the FNPS
Projects and People, to find out more about the good works that we
do to help preserve and protect the native flora and the land and water
of St. Tammany Parish.
Our study focus for 2008-2009 is: Sustainable
Gardening.
For information about landscaping with native
plants check out our BRAND NEW page
about Creating
Native Plant Gardens and also our Gardening
with Native Plants feature on the Education page. You'll find advice
from FNPS experts about how to grow, propagate and landscape with plants
native to Louisiana.
Our Purpose:
The purpose of our group is to protect, perpetuate,
and propagate the abundant native plants of Northwest St. Tammany Parish,
Louisiana, and adjacent areas, focusing primarily on our native wildflowers,
which are fast disappearing; and to discourage pollution of our water
and ground so basic to their survival.
