The Rhode Island Wild Plant Society (RIWPS) has seed starter groups in Exeter, RI (Seed Starters West) and Portsmouth, RI (Seed Starters East). Seed starters cultivate most of the plants at RIWPS plant sales.
Both groups would welcome more members. Dig in the dirt in non-gardening seasons and enjoy constantly learning about native plants!
People of all botanical abilities are welcome at RIWPS events — beginners, experts, amateurs, and professionals. Come to enjoy and learn about wild plants.
Some RIWPS programs, especially the walks and workshops, can only accommodate a limited number of participants, however; so register early.
