Native plant societies

---

Because invasive plant species are typically so problematic, it is important to try to avoid them and, instead, focus on plantings that are native to your particular area. Not only are native plants easier to grow because they are already adapted to the environment in your state, but they also provide food, habitat, and shelter necessary to the animals and insects who live there. Below you'll find the contact information for the native plant society for each state listed as well as a link to access their website. If you have questions about what to plant in your state, your native plant society is your best resource.
