Thank you to all who attended our Fall 2024 in person sale this past Saturday and those who purchased plants in our Fall online sale. Our Plant Sale Committee works very hard to ensure that our sales are informative, educational, and very well organized. Our teams of cashiers, ticket writers, setup, sales, hold area, and everything else that needs doing are outstanding. Special thanks to the members of the Round Rock High School Plant Club that work every sale with us. Their eagerness and enthusiasm for the sale and plants is infectious and makes us wonder how we ever did it without them.
The growers that produce our plants work hand-in-hand with us to make sure we have high quality plants to offer our customers. Collectively, we want everyone to succeed and embrace growing native Texas plants. We were proud to have more species in this sale sourced specifically from plants growing in Williamson County. This is largely courtesy of our Plant Rescue team with seeds also coming from member landowners.
Comments, questions and suggestions are welcome. (Send comments to [email protected].) So are volunteers! We hope to see you at our Spring 2025 Native Plant Sale, a mere 20 weeks away, on March 29, 2025.
Beth Erwin, Plant Sale Committee Chairman
