The Native Plant Society of New Jersey was founded in 1985 with seven chapters located throughout the state.
The Society does not have a newsletter but their website is full of information on native plants from where to buy them to photos and information on where to see them in the wild. Events for all the chapters are posted along with ways you can get involved. You can also visit their online shop with proceeds going to support the Native Plant Society of New Jersey.
