Texas Gulf Coast Fern Society (TGCFS)

Organized in 1998 by a group of fern enthusiasts (a.k.a. fern lovers, fernies, pteridologists), to cultivate, foster and promote interest in ferns and fern allies, the TGC Fern Society presents educational programs including “how to” sessions, presentations by local, national and internationally known fern experts, and field trips and tours-thus providing a forum for fern enthusiasts to visit, learn, share plants, ideas, information, and have a good time. A very informative monthly newsletter is published for members, and special events include presentations to other groups, fundraiser events, and a year end holiday season party. Regular meetings are held at 2:00 P.M. on the third Sunday of each month at the Houston Garden Center, 1500 Herman Drive, Houston, TX, 77044. Phone (713) 284-1986.

Annual Dues (U.S.): Individual $10. Family $15. Student $5.
