This year is NPSOT-Williamson County Chapter’s 25th anniversary!
Celebrate with us at the chapter meeting on Thursday, July 14, 2022, at 7:00 PM. We’ll recognize this great milestone and briefly cover annual chapter business before proceeding with our featured topic, Landscaping with Native Plants Series: Session #2, Gary Bowers’ Yard, presented by…. Gary Bowers!
Whether you attend in-person or via Zoom, our meetings are free and open to the public. (Trying to decide how to attend in July? This month we have native plants to give away to in-person attendees and refreshments to celebrate our 25th.)
If you attend in person, we’re at the Georgetown Public Library, 2nd floor. If you attend in person, you are giving consent to be videoed for Zoom and YouTube (if the meeting is to be posted on YouTube).
About our topic: This month’s topic is the second session in a series called Landscaping with Native Plants which the chapter will lead over the coming months. On July 14, learn how one chapter member has embarked on a multi-year project to, in his words, “have a nicer view from the kitchen window.” This home is in Round Rock, east of I-35, in Blackland Prairie soils. Other topics in the series will be announced at a future date.
About our speaker and homeowner: Gary Bowers grew up in northeast Tennessee and has always had a keen interest in nature and the outdoors — though he harbors a special passion for trees. Since moving to Central Texas in 2012, he has discovered the wonderful variety of Texas native plants. Gary is a past president of the NPSOT-Williamson County Chapter and has also served the chapter as an instructor for the chapter’s Native Landscape Certification Program (NLCP), a field trip leader, and more. Gary works as a software developer in order to pay for new plants.
At every meeting, we give away a book — about native plants or the meeting topic — to one randomly chosen in-person meeting attendee and one Zoom attendee!
Bluebonnets, Lupinus texensis
