Native Plants

Celebrate Florida Native Plant Month with the Pawpaw Chapter at a number of events in October 2024 starting with tours of native plant gardens at six Volusia County Locations Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9am to noon.  For more information on all local Florida Native Plant Month events visit https://pawpaw.fnpschapters.org/native-plants/florida-native-plant-month/.

The Pawpaw Chapter will consider grants for school native plant and community landscaping projects - see the Grants page for details and application.

Jon Popisil created a list of native plants for our area that are attractive to butterflies as a follow-up to a program that he presented at one of the chapter meetings.  You can read or download it here.

You can find which native plants are suitable for your county at the Florida Native Plant Society website.

Audubon now has an online native plants database where you can view a list of the best plants for birds in your area (by zip code).

The 8-1/2" by 11" sign shown below is a great way to let your neighbors know about your native plants. The signs are $20 and available for purchase at Pawpaw Chapter meetings and events. You will need to provide your own post.

The Florida Native Plant Society’s mission is to champion Florida’s native plants and their habitats.
