In the past decade, a number of states have adopted native plant appreciation weeks or months. As spring progresses, NPCC shares links to information on these celebrations so you can participate in events in your state. (Note: some states have not yet posted 2018 activities)

 

We hope that states that have not adopted native plant appreciation weeks or months may be inspired to do so.
