- Lead field trips to stunning foothill and mountain wildflower displays.
- Offer 100s of locally adapted, hand-picked native plants at our fall sale.
- Advocate for native flora and organize conservation projects.
- Meet up to propagate plants and learn ethnobotany first-hand.
- Publish two books on over 700 local wildflowers, trees and shrubs.
