Our regional chapters enable INPS members to get to know fellow members in their local area. Opportunities for learning, service, and camaraderie abound through informational programs, member get-togethers, plants rescues, invasives removal, youth education, and outreach activities such as hikes, garden tours, and plant sales.

We welcome your questions and suggestions. For general questions about INPS, or if you’re not sure whom to ask about a specific issue, contact us at info@indiananativeplants.

We are a volunteer-led statewide organization with seven regional chapters. The statewide organization, led by the INPS Board, sets policy and direction, hosts major events, and supports the activities of the chapters.

Whatever your passion—protecting natural places, adding native plants to your garden, photographing wildflowers, or lending expertise to our community of native plant enthusiasts—there’s a place for you in the Indiana Native Plant Society.

We’re looking forward to sharing our love of native plants with you and continuing the conversation about the critical connection native plants make with wildlife in our region’s natural areas.
