Missouri Native Plant Society
The purpose of the Missouri Native Plant Society is to promote the enjoyment, preservation, conservation, restoration, and study of the flora native to Missouri; to educate the public about the values of the beauty, diversity, and environmental importance of indigenous vegetation; and to publish related information.
The Southwest Missouri Chapter has adopted both the Wildflower Garden and the Native Shrub Garden plus the area between the gardens to create an Ozarks Native Plant Area in the gardens at Close Memorial Park.
