Native Plant Trust, founded in 1900 as the Society for the Protection of Native Plants, and long known as the New England Wild Flower Society, is the nation's first plant conservation organization. The organization is dedicated to the preservation of native plants and operates Garden in the Woods, a native plant botanical garden, in Framingham, Massachusetts. It also offers courses on topics of conservation and horticulture of native plants, manages a "conservation corps" of volunteers throughout New England, operates several native plant sanctuaries, and offers nursery-propagated native plants for sale at its two nurseries. Since 2023, Native Plant Trust has been headquartered in Wayland, MA.
