50th Anniversary Celebration

  • Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center 1 Father Junipero Serra Trail San Diego, CA, 92119 United States (map)

The San Diego Chapter of the California Native Plant Society turned 50 in 2022!  The 2023 Board of Directors finally feel comfortable getting as many people as we can get for a celebration of that fact. 

So, it’s time to kick off those trail boots and celebrate with fellow native plant enthusiasts! The Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center is a beautiful indoor-outdoor setting for a lovely evening of enjoying light refreshments while listening to top-notch bluegrass provided by Drought Tolerant.

Dress Code is (native plant) garden party casual.

Tickets are a $20 donation, available at the door.

Parking is limited, but there will be a shuttle from the Jackson Dr parking lot should the main lot and roadside parking fill up.  Please carpool if you can. Email programs@cnpssd.org if you’d like a ride or can give a ride to someone in your area.
