The purpose of this walk is to familiarize attendees about Texas native plants that you can incorporate into your own home landscape. The walk will focus on plantings around the Urban Ecology Center and the Alamo Area Master Naturalist Demonstration Garden and various naturally occurring plants in the park.
This event is presented by the San Antonio Chapter - Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT-SA) chapter. It will be led by Joan Miller, a former president of NPSOT-SA and Drake White of The Nectar Bar, both active plant propagators, identifiers of native plants, and teachers/event leaders of all things related to native plants.
Joan and Drake also discuss where in your landscape to use the plant, its water requirements, and tips for caring for the plant, especially when and how much to cut back. They also point out how the plants function in the ecosystem especially which butterflies utilize the plants. Bring your questions and re-imagine your yard by incorporating new native plants!
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.
