Jenny Fleming was a nurse and horticulturalist most active in the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). Fleming initially became involved with the society after hearing of the East Bay Park District's plan to move the Tilden Botanical Gardens to Crow Canyon. From there she joined CNPS and participated in their various plant sales and fund-raising efforts as well as managing her own garden until she and her husband moved to Washington D.C. in 1971. In 1976, Fleming returned to the area and became the vice-president and president of the Bay Chapter. During her time as president she founded the Tilden Botanic Garden Volunteers and the Rare Plant Project. In this interview Fleming discusses her early involvement with CNPS, members, the plant sale, move to Washington D.C., changes made to CNPS during presidency, minority representation, CNPS and state conservation issues, changes in the Bay Chapter to present time, her personal background as a nurse, attending UC San Francisco, the Sierra Club and the US Forest Service. This interview is part of a group of interviews documenting the California Native Plant Society.
