Volunteer with us Saturday, September 23, 2023, from 8am-11am for a plant rescue in Round Rock. There are hundreds of Liatris punctata available in the clay soil meadow as well as an assortment of seeds you can gather. The property owner is excited to be on-site to document the event.
You must be a current NPSOT member and at least 18 to attend. (Join NPSOT or renew here.)
NPSOT-Williamson County will hold the chapter fall plant sale ONLINE ONLY once again. You will be able to purchase plants starting at 12AM September 22, 2023 until 11:59PM September 28, 2023. We will have the plants you purchased available for pick-up October 14, 2023 on the campus of Round Rock High School.
We are all weather-weary after enduring the hottest summer on the planet. We are being encouraged and, in some cases, forced, to reduce the use of water in our landscapes. You are invited to take advantage of the many years of experience and knowledge that exists in the Williamson County Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas. It underscores the plant choices we offer in our sale and is included in the culture tips and descriptions of every plant we offer. This resource can be incredibly helpful for homeowners and gardeners looking to make sustainable choices in their landscapes.
The plant availability list with descriptions will be published on our website September 15th.
Updates about the sale will be published on our blog so check there for news. Or subscribe to the blog to receive a single automated email early the following morning after news is published. See Get News to subscribe.
Please note: our in-person location this month is the Georgetown Parks & Rec Administration Building, not the Georgetown Public Library.
