Plant Sale Thank You

— by Beth Erwin

Thank you to all who attended our Fall 2024 in person sale this past Saturday and those who purchased plants in our Fall online sale.  Our Plant Sale Committee works very hard to ensure that our sales are informative, educational, and very well organized.  Our teams of cashiers, ticket writers, setup, sales, hold area, and everything else that needs doing are outstanding.  Special thanks to the members of the Round Rock High School Plant Club that work every sale with us.  Their eagerness and enthusiasm for the sale and plants is infectious and makes us wonder how we ever did it without them.

 The growers that produce our plants work hand-in-hand with us to make sure we have high quality plants to offer our customers.  Collectively, we want everyone to succeed and embrace growing native Texas plants.  We were proud to have more species in this sale sourced specifically from plants growing in Williamson County.  This is largely courtesy of our Plant Rescue team with seeds also coming from member landowners.

Comments, questions and suggestions are welcome.  (Send comments to wilco-chapter@npsot.org.) So are volunteers!  We hope to see you at our Spring 2025 Native Plant Sale, a mere 20 weeks away, on March 29, 2025. 

Beth Erwin, Plant Sale Committee Chairman

Updated Plant List for Nov 2’s Native Plant Sale

The plant availability list with descriptions has been updated.  Plants which have been dropped from the inventory are still listed but with lines through them.

==> See the Fall 2024 Native Plant Sale page for the link to the new list and other details about the sale.

The sale is Saturday, November 2, 2024, at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park, 3005 County Road 175, Leander, TX 78641.  We will be in the pavilions (Boulder East and Boulder West) near the Quarry Splash Pad. Sale hours will be from 11:00 AM – 2 PM or until we run out of plants.

Of primary interest to some folks:

  • There will be several Cotinus obovata (American Smoke Tree) in 3/5 gallon size available.
  • New to the list of Monarch Butterfly larval plants, we will have Matelea biflora  (Purple Milkweed Vine) from Williamson County rescue parent plants.
  • Funastrum cynanchoides (Climbing Milkweed Vine) is now on the list.
  • Lonicera albiflora (White Bush Honeysuckle) has been added. These plants are the offspring of Williamson County rescue plants.  It has been many years since we have offered this plant. 

Hope to see you at the sale Saturday starting at 11 AM.

We only sell Texas native plants, and we try to make sure everything we sell is well-adapted to grow in Williamson County.
