** ARCHIVED POST – LINKS AND IMAGES MAY NOT WORK**

News from the Tonkawa Chapter:

Please join the Tonkawa Chapter and other volunteers for an additional Monarch Waystation cleanup at northbound I-35 Bell County rest area Saturday, July 23. The rest area is just two miles south of Salado. We will start at 8:30 am and finish around 11:00 am or earlier because of the heat!

Please come prepared for the weather and bring any tools you have to weed the perennials with and maybe plant a few replacements, gloves, pruners, shovel, weeding tool, broom, water to drink, bucket to put trimmings in while we are working.

Thank you and hope to see you next Saturday!

Thank you to the NPSOT members who came to the workday at the Pollinator Garden. We were a “small but mighty” group.

Kathy Galloway got all of the Pavonia and some lantana trimmed back. Dick Galloway was a generalist and dug holes, shoveled mulch, and carried trimmings. Walt Henderson used his cotton chopping hoe to clear a new bed for the zexmenia and black-foot daisies that we got from the NPSOT plant sale. Kathy Henderson and Kathy Galloway then planted them in Walt’s new bed. Ilse Meier worked on weeding and other garden clean up.

The weather was beautiful. The scenery and company were the BEST!

Our co-founders and collaborators from The Good Water Master Naturalists did not join us. They need to find a replacement for their Pollinator Garden Coordinator since Elizabeth Sartain has retired after many years of doing a great job in that position. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Please come by to see the bluebonnet-covered berm (please don’t walk in the beauties) and visit the refreshed garden.

(The Williamson County Pollinator Garden is at the entrance to the Williamson County Landfill, at the corner of FM 1660 and Landfill Road, in Hutto, TX.)
