News on Sept 15 – Thank you! We have enough volunteers to cover the two stores. The signup sheet is now closed. If you have any questions, contact Nancy Pumphrey via the contact form at this link. (Choose Projects/Community Gardens.)
For October’s Texas Native Plant Week, H-E-B will be selling NPSOT-recommended native plants, and at some stores across the state, NPSOT volunteers will be on-hand to distribute native plant seed mix packets. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation’s Pollinators and Prairies program is donating the seed packets containing NPSOT-recommended mixes from Native American Seed.
On October 16 and 19, the Williamson County Chapter will host tables at one to three up to two local H-E-B stores in Georgetown and Hutto, depending on the number of people who volunteer. The stores were selected by H-E-B. Though the event is in mid-October, we need to line up our volunteers asap so State NPSOT can confirm all tabling activities across all the stores with H-E-B by the middle of September.
Details:
- Wednesday, October 16, 11am–2pm, and Saturday, October 19, 11am–2pm.
- For each day, we need 2 volunteers per shift. Volunteers can sign up for 1 or more hours, whatever works for you. Volunteers will give away the seed packets and answer questions.
- Depending on the number of volunteers, we’ll be at:
- H-E-B at Wolf Lakes Village, I-35 & Hwy 29 (1010 W. University Ave, Georgetown)
- H-E-B at Gattis School Rd & 130 (5000 Gattis School Rd, Hutto)
H-E-B at D.B. Wood & Williams Dr (4500 Williams Drive, Georgetown)
- The Society will provide table signage to us with info about NPSOT, the native plants currently on sale at H-E-B (including QR codes) and TPWF Pollinators and Prairies program information.
How to Signup:
Nancy Pumphrey will have a signup sheet at the chapter meeting on September 12, or you can fill out the volunteer form at this link.
