The Hawthorn Chapter of the Missouri Native Plant Society (MONPS) is made up of individuals from Columbia and the surrounding region with various levels of expertise and interest in native plants who appreciate and want to conserve our natural Missouri heritage. Together, we enjoy wildflowers in their native habitats, share knowledge about identifying and growing native plants, and sell books and native plants to finance student scholarships, plantings, and educational material.
Hawthorn Upcoming Activities
The Hawthorn Chapter maintains a chapter website at ColumbiaNativePlants.org Please check the website for activity times, places and changes, or better yet become a member and have updated activity information emailed directly to you as there will always be schedule changes.
