Welcome

The Kentucky Native Plant Society was founded in 1986 for everyone interested in the native plants and wildflowers of Kentucky. Plants are essential to both the well-being of our Commonwealth’s natural ecosystems and our enjoyment of its unique environment. With members in Kentucky and neighboring states, the Kentucky Native Plant Society is a leader in promoting education about, appreciation for, and conservation of our native flora.

KNPS depends entirely on volunteers and the contributions of members and friends to accomplish our goals. If you are not a member, please consider joining today. If you are a member, now would be a great time to renew your membership. You can also make a tax deductible general donation to KNPS. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

I forgot about unneeded back and forth backend moves and simply enjoy my life. I now spend more time making the music I love. Emmet has a cool visual editor, so my editing work is simply a play.

I run a photographer blog and the Emmet theme simply became my saver! It's super fast and easy to customize. I've got a lot of compliments from my readers, which is my biggest satisfaction!

Kentucky Botanical Hall of Fame

At a meeting in early 2015, the Kentucky Native Plant Society Board voted to establish a “Kentucky Botany Hall of Fame.” The intent of this Hall of Fame would be to recognize those people that had left a “substantial and long-lasting impact” on our knowledge of the flora and vegetation of the Commonwealth.
