This program's purpose is to identify and appreciate our area wildflowers in the context of also appreciating the beauty of our natural areas and learning about where and when our wildflowers grow and their relationship to insects.
Wendy Leonard whose Masters is in Biology from UTSA currently serves as assistant manager in San Antonio's Natural Area Office. Her masters thesis was on a threatened wildflower, the Bracted Twistflower. Wendy is a naturalist, Certified Wildlife Biologist, plant ecologist, conservationist, and beekeeper. There is not a better person in San Antonio to lead us along the trails of PHP and through the Demonstration Garden identifying and discussing those wildflowers that beat the drought. Wendy will specifically discuss where native wildflowers will be present in the local ecology and their interactions with pollinators. Come learn with our accomplished local expert.
This talk is part of our monthly 4th Saturday Nature Walk series provided by our Alamo Area Master Naturalists and the Alamo Group of the Sierra Club, with the Native Plant Society of Texas, San Antonio.
