Attendees during the Aug 08 2019 monthly meeting with Andrew Brazell speaking.

Tonight’s program was “Front Yard Native Prairie” presented by Andrew Brazell who lives in Weir and has devoted himself and his family to raising wildflowers and reclaiming his 15 acres of meadow.  At this point, he has reclaimed about half the property from its former use in cattle-ranching.

Andrew was featured on Central Texas Gardener in 2014 and now contracts to give advice on growing native grasses and wildflowers across Texas.  Andrew presented a very interesting presentation with great slides of his beautiful meadows. He is presently in the process of developing demonstration gardens and pollinator gardens for tours.  Andrew’s presentation can be viewed at this link.
