Call for Volunteers for April 6, 2024, NPSOT-Williamson County Native Plant Sale

— by Nancy Pumphrey

Last call to volunteer at the plant sale on Saturday, April 6, 2024, at Champion Park Pecan Pavilions, 3830 Brushy Creek Road, Cedar Park, TX 78613. We would love to have your help — many hands make light work!

Helping with our chapter’s native plant sales is a great way to get to know native plants and other chapter members. Native plant “beginners” are welcome!

  • Areas where help is needed are:
    • Setup – starts at 8:00 am
    • Sales – start at 11am, ends at 2pm
    • Clean up – 2:00pm to 3:00pm
  • We’re also in need of a “traffic director” to guide people over to the pickup area if they are arriving to pick up plants they ordered from our online sale.

==> Use the contact form at this link to volunteer or to ask a question about volunteering.

We are getting excited to see everyone on Saturday! Read all the information about our spring native plant sale on this page.
