Native Plants

Rhode Island Wild Plant Society

The Rhode Island Wild Plant Society (RIWPS) is interested in restoring native plants to this region which are being pushed out by invasive plants.  They can help you to find the plants that grow best in Rhode Island soil.

      
They offer many programs on a variety of subjects related to plants native to the region. Their website  is:  WWW.RIWPS.ORG.   There is a membership fee to join the association although you can attend workshops for a small fee if you are not a member.  See their website for more information about their fees.

For those of you interested in native plants but don't know where to buy them, the RIWSP has a plant sale on Saturday, June 5, 2010. See their website for more information.
