The San Diego Fern Society

The San Diego Fern Society (SDFS) was established in October 1976 with a charter membership of 15 fern enthusiasts. The society's purpose was to provide a resource for ferns, arrange for people to study ferns together, and encourage the use and enjoyment of ferns in gardens, patios, and the home. The purpose of this site is to encourage access to sources for studying, collecting, buying, and growing ferns. In 2002, the SDFS had has over 90 members, making it one of the largest fern groups in the United States.
