How can I make a difference?
Garden with native plants
Native plants are the cornerstone for North Carolina’s biological diversity. Choosing native plants for your garden is the best way to provide food and shelter for our native animals and insects.
Identify native & non-native plants
Identifying both native & non-native plants is the first step to moving in the right direction. We’ve got a myriad of ways to search plants with detailed photos and helpful search tools.
Apply for grants & scholarships
To preserve and protect native plants in North Carolina, we offer four funding sources that support projects to achieve our mission. Click through for more details below.
Advocate for Native Plants
We encourage public policies and legislation by local and state government that promote the use and conservation of plants native to North Carolina and their ecological habits.
