Wildflower Notecards

Looking for more ways to support the INPS? Consider purchasing unique wildflower cards, displaying beautiful native flora by Vice President, Tom Scherer. Each card includes the common and scientific name and the habitat where each plant can be found in Iowa. Card proceeds will promote conservation, education, and appreciation of Iowa’s native plants through our grants program.

Cards are 3.5 inch by 4.9 inch and may be ordered individually for members and non-members. 
Cards start at $1.00 each for members and $1.50 for non-members. A postage fee will be added for each four cards ordered. Special rates may be applied for bulk orders. Please contact us at iowanativeplantsociety@gmail.com if interested!
