Description
(7-9:30pm) Please come and enjoy plants and plant-loving people.
We will have a MEMBERS SLIDE SHOW, with photographs of native plants, natural areas and related subjects. (Send e-mail to info@flnps.org if you want to show some.)
Our annual SEED EXCHANGE is part of the festivities. You can take seeds to plant whether or not you bring any.
The plants we use to decorate the room for the gathering give us materials for an IDENTIFY THE DECORATIONS “QUIZ”. This is always fun as well as educational, as we expect people to collaborate and you don't need to get all the answers right to qualify for the Plant and Door Prize Drawings.
To keep up our energy during all these activities we ask people to bring a DISH-TO-PASS "With a Native or Naturalized Plant Ingredient" and a prize is awarded to the creator of the food voted favorite by the most participants. Besides the all time popular blueberry, cranberry and apple dishes there are many possible ingredients from native plants like black walnuts, butternuts, maple syrup, elderberries, wild rice, mushrooms. Creativity and truly local ingredients are appreciated.
