The list of speakers and vendors is still evolving and of course, fall is the time for planting, and so there will be a native plant sale and a native plant seed swap.
Please start collecting seed. We especially need seeds from south Jersey: asters, gentians, woody plants, and violets - Seed swap information .
Members in good standing will be sent a password and a chance for early registration once the details have been set.
More details will be coming soon. Check back frequently.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Our members include gardeners, horticulturists, naturalists, landscape designers, students, and native plant enthusiasts from all walks of life.
We conduct regular lectures and presentations with featured speakers on topics ranging from introduction to native plants, gardening with natives, identification and appreciation of the beautiful flora and ecosystems of New Jersey, ecological landscaping, and much more. Our annual meeting is a must-attend event for anyone involved in the native plant movement in New Jersey. We organize nature walks and garden tours, dispense advice on design and maintenance of native gardens and landscapes, and have helped establish native plant gardens around the state.
there is a plant in New Jersey that is found nowhere else in the world! Read about it: rare NJ native plant.
New Jersey's diversity of habitat, in concert with four distinct seasons, blesses our state with botanical variety. From the stirrings of spring ephemerals through the forest litter, to the abundance for summer pollinator plants, to the turning of deciduous leaves, and then to the berries of winter, each season adorns Jersey with a wonderful display of flora.
