** ARCHIVED POST – LINKS AND IMAGES MAY NOT WORK**

Chapter members and guests alike thoroughly enjoyed Randy Pensabene’s presentation, Not the Same Old Deer-Resistant Plants, at our meeting on February 14.

Randy’s talk was loaded with information.  We learned about the most important factors for leaves, scents, and forage value that influence whether a plant is attractive to deer in the first place — or not.  Randy’s slides and handouts showcased various plants that exhibit the desired features. Some were surprising-to-the-audience examples that we don’t usually hear about as being deer-resistant at local nurseries. Armed with tonight’s knowledge, betcha some deer out there will soon be going on a diet…

** ARCHIVED POST – LINKS AND IMAGES MAY NOT WORK**

Don’t miss NPSOT-Wilco’s chapter meeting on February 14, 2019, when our  program topic is “Not the Same Old Deer-Resistant Native Plants” with NPSOT member Randy Pensabene.  Randy will show you how to have a deer-resistant native landscape that also provides much needed habitat and food for birds, butterflies, bees and other wildlife.

Randy has landscaped her home with Texas native plants and been involved in several native plant demonstration gardens. She is an instructor in NPSOT’s Native Landscape Certification Program (NLCP) and a native plant guest speaker at area events open to the general public.   She heads up the planning, plant selection, grower partnerships and a myriad of other detail for NPSOT-Wilco’s twice-yearly native plant sales which take place at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in the spring and fall of each year.
