Acadiana Native Plant Project (ANPP) is a specialized horticultural organization based in Arnaudville, Louisiana, dedicated to the propagation and promotion of native flora. Operating the June Walker Memorial Greenhouse, the organization produces over 100 plant species native to the Acadiana region, utilizing seed and cutting propagation methods. Their primary mission is ecological restoration through the integration of native plants into local landscapes, emphasizing the co-evolution of these plants with regional insects and wildlife. Unlike traditional commercial nurseries, ANPP functions as a community-driven enterprise that combines plant production with educational outreach, hosting workshops, site tours, and public talks. They serve a diverse audience including homeowners, schools, and environmental organizations looking to establish sustainable, ecologically functional habitats. By focusing exclusively on species pre-dating European settlement, they provide specialized botanical resources for biodiversity conservation.
