    Picnic, Plants and Native Plant Friends

    Let's celebrate our love of native plants and renew our friendships with other native plant enthusiasts from across the state.(registration is open and closes June 3)

    Location

    Pfeiffer University  

    48380 US Hwy 52  Misenheimer, N.C. 28109

    Directions


    Something new this year–for early arrivals we’re offering a coffee and donut social hour to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. Look for the social gathering near the registration table.


    Register early! This event will be limited to members and one guest each for a total of 200 participants.  Please consider volunteering to help during the event. It’s a great way to meet fellow members from across the state, make new friends, and help this big event run smoothly. You will be able to sign up for a specific volunteer option as you register. Thank you everyone for your support. Please register to attend. 


    Annual Meeting and Plant Auction

    The annual meeting will take place from 10-10:30 in the Chapel. Join President Ken Bridle as he recaps activities from past year and shares plans for next year. A live auction of especially valuable and rarely found plants will begin immediately following the meeting in the Chapel hosted by auctioneer Ken Bridle, immediately following the annual meeting.

    Native Plant Sale 

    Grow your native plant garden! NCNPS members from across the state donate a wide variety of home grown native plants each year. This is the BEST native plant sale in the state! Shop for natives on the lawn in front of the Jane Freeman Hall, beginning at 11:30.  (Sorry, no early browsing of plants will be permitted, to allow for more organized plant pricing and set-up.  But there will be other activities in which you can participate!) Plant sale will open immediately following the conclusion of the Live Plant Auction in the Chapel.



    Payment Details

    NCNPS accepts cash or check (preferred to minimize wait in payment line), and credit card for purchases greater than $10. You will be able to renew your annual membership at the picnic or you can renew it online prior to the meeting. Payment locations will be in the Chapel for Live Auction purchases following the auction and in the Jane Freeman Building from 12N-2:30 for all other plant purchases. 

    Please note we will offer a self serve option for payment by check or cash. You can fill out the payment form, total your purchases, and drop this off with your check for fast and easy check out.

    Lunch

    BBQ, a vegetarian entree, and drinks will be provided by NCNPS. We encourage each attendee to bring a side dish or dessert to share, along with a serving utensil. You can deliver side items to the Jane Freeman Building prior to the annual meeting. Please also bring a re-usable water bottle and/or cup for yourself. Water coolers will be provided.  You may lunch in classrooms inside Jane Freeman Hall, or bring a picnic blanket and/or chairs to eat outside.
