Welcome to the Statewide Organization Page
We have seven chapters that offer various activities, including educational programs, field trips, plant sales, participation in local events such as Earth Day, workshops, and seasonal get-togethers. Some chapters offer hybrid programs in-person and via Zoom. If you are interested in a particular program offered on Zoom, request a link from the chapter.
Upcoming events are on our Events Calendar, or contact your nearest chapter. Past programs with a statewide or regional appeal are available through our Presentations Database.
An annual state conference is hosted by one of our chapters on a rotational basis. The 2025 conference will be hosted by the Las Cruces chapter, October 2 - 5, in Las Cruces, NM. Watch for details on our website.
The Native Plant Society of New Mexico is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization.
