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.

Our Goals are:

  • To serve as the Kentucky native plant education resource
  • To support native plant research
  • To support efforts to identify and protect endangered, threatened, and rare native plant species
  • To promote appreciation of the biodiversity of native plant ecosystems
  • To encourage the appropriate use of native plants
