Where to Buy Native Plants and Join Native Plant Society of Texas Events

You can buy native plants through the nursery and seed-library listings on npsot.org, find chapter plant sales and events on the site's Events Calendar and Chapter pages, and join or renew membership through the Join / Renew / Gift links in the site header. The site also offers a Native Plant Database for choosing species and an email subscription for updates. Prices, nursery inventory, and event dates are not listed in the available page content, so confirm those directly with the nursery or chapter.

Buying Native Plants Through npsot.org

The site does not sell plants itself. Instead, it points you to places that do:

• Native Plant Nurseries — a directory page under the Native Plants section for finding growers.
• Seed Libraries — a listing for borrowing or sourcing native seed.
• Upcoming Plant Sales — a page under News & Events that collects plant sale announcements.
• Buy Native Plants — a homepage link that leads into the plant-buying resources.

A practical sequence:

1. Open the Native Plant Database and search by name or by the "Top Plant Searches" list (Mealy Blue Sage, Turk's Cap, Texas Lantana, Scarlet Sage, American Beautyberry, Bluebonnet, Frogfruit, and others) to decide what suits your yard.
2. Check the Ecoregion Map and Plant Lists by Ecoregion so you pick species matched to your part of Texas.
3. Use Native Plant Nurseries or Seed Libraries to find a source, and watch Upcoming Plant Sales for chapter sales.
4. Call or check the nursery's own site for current availability and price — npsot.org does not publish either.

Finding Chapter Plant Sales and Events

Events are organized at two levels: statewide and by chapter.

Statewide events listed on the site include:

The homepage also carries a banner reading "2026 VIRTUAL FALL SYMPOSIUM OPEN THROUGH 10/04!" — treat that as a site announcement and confirm specifics on the symposium page.

Chapter events are the more local route. The site lists roughly 40 chapters, including Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Galveston County, Guadalupe, Highland Lakes, Hill Country, Kerrville, Lindheimer, North Central, Pineywoods, Rio Grande Valley, Tonkawa, Trinity Forks, Tyler, Waco, and Williamson County. Each chapter has its own page with chapter news and chapter meetings, and the Chapter Map helps you find the one covering your county.

To use this: open Chapter Map, identify your chapter, then check that chapter's page for meeting times and any plant sale it runs. Chapter meeting schedules and sale dates are not in the page content provided, so verify on the chapter page.

Membership, Renewal, and Email Updates

The header repeats three membership paths: Join, Renew Membership, and Gift Membership. The site notes that renewal and the Member Portal require login. A Subscribe to Email Updates page sits under News & Events.

Choose based on what you want:

• Join — if you are new and want chapter contact plus member communications.
• Renew Membership — if you already have an account; expect a login step.
• Gift Membership — if you are signing someone else up.
• Subscribe to Email Updates — if you only want news and event notices without joining.

Membership dues and benefits are not stated in the available content, so check the membership pages before deciding.
