Menziesia is the monthly e-newsletter of the Native Plant Society of BC. In it, you'll find short articles about native plants, native plant habitats, reports of field trips, society news, research news and more.
To receive Menziesia, you need to be a member. Click here to find out more about membership.
If you'd like to contribute an article, a photograph or an illustration, contact Menziesia editor Dawn Hanna at [email protected].
