Florida Wildflower Foundation
FlaWildflowers.org
This group focuses on preserving and promoting
Florida's wildflowers, using donations and funds
from the State Wildflower License Plate to fund
education and conservation programs. Many
FNPS members and others support this extra effort
to promote and preserve the hundreds of native
wildflower species that keep Real Florida
beautiful and healthy. The foundation works with
municipal agencies and local communities
across the state to preserve wildflowers and
reintroduce them on public roadways, in parks
and schoolyards. Here you'll find wildflower experts,
resources for communities and schoolteachers,
and a network of fellow flower lovers.
