On Sept 12th, we held a discussion panel on “Getting Started with Texas Native Plants”. Members and guests were treated to a panel of local NPSOT members who have experience working with and teaching others about native plants.
A few days before the meeting, a survey was sent to solicit questions. These questions were included in a step-by-step ‘how-to’ overview presentation. Additional questions were taken during the meeting.
The presentation covered:
- how to plan a landscape
- prepare your bed
- select and install native plants
- plant establishment and maintenance
The panel discussion also covered three different methods of killing lawn grass to create a bed area for planting. Our handout gave everyone specific information on the processes presented and included recommended websites and books to find more information.
So, whether you were new to the area and wanted to know what to plant, were looking for ideas on different native plants to work with, or had a burning question regarding native plants, or just wanted to know more about the Texas Native Plant Society, your needs were addressed.
