Just a reminder! Join us at Peterson Community Garden in Hutto on Saturday, August 24, to give our friends there a hand. Bring gloves, a hat, tools and lots of water. If you have a string trimmer, that will help.

Due to the heat, we will start at 7am and quit by 10am. The address is 205 Hutto Street, Hutto, TX 78634. Parking is on the street.

If you have questions, please contact Nancy Pumphrey using the form at this link. Select Projects/Community Gardens.

Congratulations to Ashley Landry!

Chapter member Ashley Landry is the recipient of NPSOT’s Nancy Benedict Memorial Award!  

The news was announced by Chapter Vice President Gary Bowers at the chapter meeting on August 8, 2024. The Nancy Benedict Memorial Award honors an individual, a group or an organization for a specific act of conservation or public service in the field of Texas native plants.

Ashley is the founder and leader of the Native Plant Rescue Project, where she leads teams of volunteers to ethically rescue native plants from development in Central Texas. In addition, exposure to the project’s plant rescue mission in print and broadcast media is increasing the public’s awareness of native plants.

Congratulations, Ashley, from all of us!

Nancy Copperman, NPSOT-Wilco President, and all members of NPSOT
