Dallas Chapter

Chapter Plant Sale List Spring 2019

**ARCHIVED POST **

This spring’s plant sale is shaping up to be our biggest yet!  We are one of the last of the season, but hope you’ll save some pocketbook change and stop by.  With your help we can continue the Society’s mission.

Where will your donations go? LOOK at what the Dallas Chapter has been doing:

  1. The chapter contributes to area native plant gardens each year; recent recipients include, Tenison Park Pollinator Garden, Big Bear Native American Museum (Midlothian), Lakewood Elementary, Windmill Garden (location), and Raincatcher’s Garden.
  2. The chapter provides 2 or 3 NLCP classes per year to educate the public to native plant landscapes.
  3. The chapter is collaborating with the Bush Library to provide native plant expertise on the Texas Park walks.
  4. The chapter supports members by offering a scholarship to the Fall Symposium.
  5. The chapter supports NPSOT with contributions to the Spring and Fall Symposium.
  6. The chapter supports NPSOT by participating in State meetings and working on State committees.
  7. The chapter has initiated the NICE program this year to reach out to promote native plant sales in local nurseries.
  8. The chapter provides information booths at a variety of venues; most recently at the Perot Museum
  9. The chapter support other area groups and organizations that promote native plants.  This year we’ll be a sponsor for TDG’s annual Native Plant Symposium with guest speaker, Doug Tallamy.

About the Region

2026 Fall Symposium Logo

This low-elevations region of Texas extends inland from the barrier islands, about 60 or so miles, and stretches from Brownsville to Louisiana. In total, it covers about 9.5 million acres, with a high point of 150 feet in elevation. More than 1000 species of plants can be found in this region. On the southern end, species more common in Mexico (such as Sabal mexicana) and Central America occur.

The barrier islands provide us with dune systems, and clay flats to the inland side, which have species found in these areas alone. Many plants here, such as Ipomoea pes-caprae (beach morning glory), can be found throughout tropical regions of the globe. I’ve encountered the same species on the beaches of Guam.

Once inland, vast marshes and wet prairies occur. Occasionally, oak (Quercus fusiformis) groves can be found. Common grasses include species of Bothriochloa, Paspalum, and Sporobolus; eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides); and switchgrass (Panicum species). Many rivers and creeks cut through the Gulf Prairies, and along these riparian areas various species of trees, Sabal minor, and other plants adapted to clay soils can be found. Due to overgrazing, farming, and fire suppression, woody species such as mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) and huisache (Acacia farnesiana), and invasive species such as chinaberry (Melia azedarach), Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), and Chinese tallow (Sapium sebiferum) have increased and displaced our native flora.
