INPS Annual Conference
Fort Wayne
Heads up! The Indiana Native Plant Society annual conference will be hosted in Fort Wayne this year, so mark your calendar now for Friday and Saturday, October 24-25. We’re planning some of the most exciting and sought-after speakers in the Midwestern native plant world, as well as a full slate of activities for everyone.
On Friday the 24th, we’re planning some great hikes (free) to showcase northeast Indiana to other INPS members from around the state. There will be a reception at the Botanical Conservatory afterward. But what we’re most excited about are the exceptional speakers that we’re booking now for the conference on Saturday!
More information will be coming as we get plans further locked in, and you’ll be able to register online on the INPS.org website. Mark your calendar now so you don’t miss this exceptional event—right here in northeast Indiana!
