FLORIDA NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY - PALM BEACH COUNTY CHAPTER
MONTHLY MEETING w/ SIERRA CLUB LOXAHATCHEE GROUP
TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2025
6:30pm-9pm
FEATURED SPEAKER: ROGER HAMMER
TOPIC: Native Wildflowers of Palm Beach County
There are 877 Florida native plants that call Palm Beach County home, and a number of them have found their way into cultivation. This presentation will focus on some of the garden-worthy native wildflowers and shrubs that can add interest and color to home gardens, and to also attract songbirds, hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths. Special attention will be placed on some of the look-alike, or related, invasive species in the nursery trade to avoid.
Roger Hammer is a professional naturalist, author, and survivalist instructor for the Discovery Channel’s reality TV show Naked and Afraid. He grew up in Cocoa Beach, served in the U.S. Army from 1965–1968, and spent 30 years as the manager of the 120-acre Castellow Hammock Nature Center for the Miami-Dade County Parks Department. He received the first Marjory Stoneman Douglas Award presented by the Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society in 1982, Tropical Audubon Society honored him with the prestigious Charles Brookfield Medal in 1996, and in 2003 he received the Green Palmetto Award in Education from the Florida Native Plant Society. He has given keynote addresses at Florida Native Plant Society state conferences, the 2008 World Orchid Conference, and the 2016 Florida Wildflower Foundation symposium. In 2012 he received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Florida International University and a lifetime achievement award from the Florida Native Plant Society, Tropical Audubon Society, and the North American Butterfly Association. He lives with his wife, Michelle, in Homestead.
