Welcome to Tyler Chapter!
The Tyler Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas, founded in January 2024, helps build connections between residents of Smith County and the surrounding areas to our local native plants. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, we aim to help resident patrons improve our environment by utilizing local native plants.
If you are interested in learning about gardening with native plants, this is the organization for you. Members and native plant professionals share a wealth of knowledge gained from experiences with native plants.
Our monthly meetings, which are free and open to the public, feature a variety of speakers and meet on the second Monday of every month at the Tyler Nature Center. Join us to network, learn and gain resources about native plants, habitat gardening, soil health, water conservation, and much more. Our website calendar has details on upcoming meetings and events. We hope to see you soon!
