FLORIDA NATIVE PLANT PARTNERS
FANN proudly partners with the Florida Native Plant Society, Florida Wildflower Foundation and Wildflower Seed & Plant Growers Association. We work together to advance the native plant movement in Florida by promoting the preservation and use of Florida native plants.

NATIVE PLANT HORTICULTURE FOUNDATION: Without native plants and people who know how to use them, we cannot restore natural and urban areas. The native plant industry is still in its infancy, working with nonprofit partners to educate the public about the importance of native plants to general sustainability. Many native plant grower pioneers are nearing the end of their careers, and facing the same challenges that all small farmers face in expanding and transitioning their operations. FANN helped establish the Native Plant Horticulture Foundation to strengthen and expand the industry by creating more demand for and supply of native plants, and developing more native plant professionals. Without easy access to native plants and professionals who know how to use them, communities are limited in their ability to transform landscapes for sustainability. Together, we can make it happen.
