WilcoScape – Discover native plants for a beautiful Texas yard

The NPSOT-Wilco chapter is excited to announce the launch of “WilcoScape,” a website dedicated to native Texas plants recommended for Williamson County.

WilcoScape was developed by the Williamson County Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT-Wilco) for residents of Williamson County who want a clear, concise, and user-friendly guide to landscaping with native Texas plants. It showcases plants native to Williamson County and species from other regions of Texas that thrive in our soils and climate, supporting local wildlife and enhancing your landscape while conserving water. 

To learn more about WilcoScape, attend our July 10th chapter meeting in person or via Zoom (details in this meeting announcement).

To explore WilcoScape, from any page on our chapter website, select [WilcoScape] from the menu at the top, and enjoy the discovery.
