NPSOT’s Austin Chapter-Spring Native Plant Sale March 25

Native plant sale news from NPSOT’s Austin Chapter:

Spring has sprung and native species of birds, insects, and other wildlife are looking for nectar, food and host habitat. You can help out by planting native plants – some even do well in containers – no yard required!

The Austin Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT) invites you to our SPRING NATIVE PLANT SALE!
