Call for Volunteers: Peterson Community Garden on Aug 24

— by Nancy Pumphrey

Calling all Wacky Weeders! Join us at Peterson Community Garden in Hutto on Saturday, August 24, to give our friends there a hand. With all the rain, the garden has grown wild. 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.

President Nancy Copperman announced the officers who will hold elected positions for 2024-2025 and also presented NPSOT pins to folks celebrating milestone years of membership in the Society. If you reached a milestone year and were not able to attend the meeting, your pin will be delivered to you another way. (The meeting’s business slides are here.)

The evening ended with a presentation by Randy Pensabene and Gary Bowers about a new chapter project — the Williamson County native plant database! See the meeting’s YouTube video to learn more. (The project discussion starts at 21:34 minutes in.)
