Are you new to the area and want to know what to plant? Maybe you have experience with native plants and you’re looking for ideas on some different native plants to work with? Or maybe you just want to know more about the Texas Native Plant Society.

Join us on Thursday, Sept 12 at the Georgetown Public Library for our “Getting Started with Texas Native Plants” panel discussion. Our panel will be made up of local members who have experience working with and teaching others about native plants.  Submit questions to the panel in advance by completing the survey at this link.

Come and learn more about how native plants can help you save water, provide nectar plants for native pollinators, and give shelter and food for birds.

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.

You can see the August 8, 2019 business presentation slides here.
