The first list of plants anticipated to be available at NPSOT-Wilco’s In-Person Spring 2024 Native Plant Sale is now published so you can look ahead. The cool, cloudy weather we have experienced recently is affecting the final inventory for the in-person sale. We expect to update the list between now and April 6th

About our speaker: Randy Pensabene is past president of the Native Plant Society of Texas, Williamson County Chapter, and is involved in the chapter’s native plant garden projects and native plant sales. She has also converted her yard from the typical hedges and non-natives to a beautiful low-water, National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat using Texas native plants. She enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for our Texas native plants and teaching others about their beauty, drought-tolerance, and benefits.
At every meeting, we give away a book — about native plants or the meeting topic — to one randomly chosen in-person attendee!
