Native Plant Project

Native Plant Project

The Native Plant Project's primary objective is the compilation and dissemination of information about plants native to the lower Rio Grande Valley. The NPP seeks to increase scientific knowledge of native plant propagation and phenology for both horticultural and natural revegetation purposes. The NPP promotes the conservation of local native plants, habitats, plant communities, wildlife, and environment. The NPP seeks to increase the public's knowledge and awareness of the importance of native plants in the lower Rio Grande Valley by encouraging their use in public and private landscaping.

At 7:30 PM, every 4th Tuesday of the month (excluding the months of June, July, and August), the Native Plant Project presents an educational and entertaining program centered around native plants of the Rio Grande Valley presented by members of the community. NPP Board members meet at 6:30 PM before each program. The public is welcome to attend both the board meetings and programs free of charge. We try our best to provide various RGV native plants and RGV native plant seeds at each meeting for members of the community to grow at home. We are a non-profit organization and donations are gladly accepted.
