Dear Native Plant Enthusiasts,

We are excited to invite you to a delightful field trip hosted by the Williamson County Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas! Join us for a wonderful opportunity to explore the beautiful and diverse native plants, including Texabama croton, at the home of our gracious host, Jean Nance.

During this field trip, you’ll have the chance to:

  • See Texabama croton as discussed by Tyson Bartlet at our March 13 monthly meeting.
  • Discover and learn about a variety of native plants and their ecological importance.
  • Connect with fellow nature lovers and discover plants native to the Balcones Canyonlands portion of our Edwards Plateau vegetational area.

Please bring your curiosity and any questions you might have about native plants. Whether you’re an experienced member of NPSOT or just beginning your journey, this event is a wonderful chance to expand your understanding and appreciation of the native flora that surrounds us!

This land is private property. The terrain is uneven and somewhat rocky, however there is Texabama croton near the house and folks that might be unsure of their balance may tour around the house and hang out on the deck.

Everyone should dress appropriately wearing long pants, long sleeved shirts and closed toed shoes. Bring water, sunscreen and bug spray.

We look forward to seeing you there and exploring the beauty of our native Texas plants together!

If you are planning to attend, please send an email to us to request the address. Send your email to wilco-chapter@npsot.org.
