New Plant List
Our chaper has just completed work on a new plant list. Read more about it on the News page.
NICE Program
In 2005 our chapter adopted the NICE Program - Natives Instead of Common Exotics. This program was started by the Boerne Chapter to promote the use of natives in landscaping and has been so successful that it's been adopted by other NPSOT chapters. Read more about this program under "Resources."
