🌼 | Thank you to everyone who donated to our Spring Plant Sale fundraiser! Your generosity allowed us to purchase a trellis for our Demonstration Garden at the Conway Marina (4 Elm Street). Check it out and see the butterfly milkweed in bloom!

Online donations will be accepted through the end of the month if you would like to support: https://scnps.app.neoncrm.com/campaigns/grand-strand-spring-2026-plant-sale-fundraiser

🌼 | Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Spring Native Plant Sale yesterday! The weather was perfect and made for a wonderful day with a great turnout. Did you get any native plants to add to your garden? We’d love to see how you incorporate them.

Check out WPDE’s coverage of the event:

Gardeners along the Grand Strand had a chance Sunday morning to stock up on native plants while learning how swapping out invasive species can help wildlife.

🌼 | If you are attending our Spring Plant Sale (or in the downtown Conway area) be sure to stop by our demonstration garden in the Conway Marina at 4 Elm Street. See the work of our chapter and volunteers to beautify and educate our local communities with native plants.

🌼 | Last weekend we had another great invasive species removal at Huntington Beach State Park. Check out the before vs after of this large thorny olive (𝐸𝑙𝑎𝑒𝑎𝑔𝑛𝑢𝑠 𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑎)!

Additional species that were pulled include Chinese privet (𝐿𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑚 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠) and Chinese wisteria (𝑊𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠)

Thank you to all of our volunteers and Ranger Mike for making this possible!
