We are having a plant sale!

Would you like to have a native Texas pollinator garden in your yard? Create a Monarch butterfly waystation? Add some colorful flowering plants that will attract and benefit pollinators? Get some expert advice on growing native plants? Figure out what the deer don’t like to eat?

Then come to our NPSOT-Wilco booth at the Georgetown Thursday afternoon Farmer’s Market, June 4 & 11 from 2:30-5:30 and the Tuesday morning Sun City Farmer’s Market, June 9 & 16 from 9:00-12:00. We will have several different species of milkweeds in one-gallon pots. There will be 4” and one-gallon pots of our tried-and-true nectar plants that we install in our chapter pollinator gardens. We are willing to take requests for native plants you may be seeking. Email me with those using this contact form.

Milkweed (Asclepias) species include Antelope-horns, A. asperula; Green Antelope-horns, A. viridis; Butterflyweed, A. tuberosa; and Zizotes, A. oenotheroides.

Pictured here is the Friday morning booth crew, except for Bob Kamper, who was taking the picture. We were all fresh and ready to go. By noon, we were tired! Sales were brisk from the get-go and remained steady until closing time Saturday evening. We shattered our previous Fall Plant Sale records, helped by close to 500 customers. It’s always a pleasure to visit, encourage, counsel, and commiserate with our regular and new booth visitors.

The NPSOT-Wilco chapter has such a fine group of volunteers. They are eager to help in the months prior to the sale with labeling and preparing the plants for sale, loading and unloading, and keeping the booth looking great.

Proceeds from the sale fund our native plant display gardens, native plant pollinator project gardens, chapter meeting speakers, our award-winning native plant identification signs in Williamson County parks, our work with the NPSOT Native Plant Certification Program classes, and equipment and supplies that help further our goals promoting the use of native plants.

Thank you to all who volunteered countless hours to make this such a success. We really appreciate the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center for allowing us to participate in the sale each spring and fall.

Kindest regards,
Beth Erwin
NPSOT-Wilco Plant Sale Coordinator
