Annual Native Plant/Seed Swap and Potluck – November 20

November 20 @ 6:00 pm 8:30 pm

Before you start all of your Thanksgiving festivities, join us for one of favorite annual events! If you have native plants, you likely have some new seedlings that have popped up, clumps that need to be divided, and seed heads to collect. Gather them up and trade them for some new species! This is always a fun event. What’s better than free plants, right?

Please only bring specimens that are locally native to Harris County or the Gulf Coast ecoregion and label them if you can. You can also bring other useful plant-related materials you don’t need any more like books or tools.

This is a great opportunity to network with your fellow NPSOT-H members, meet the board, and enjoy time with other native plant enthusiasts. We hope you can join us! We will be providing Star Pizza; please bring your favorite sharable dish for the meal if you are able.

Note that we are starting earlier to allow extra time for the dinner. If you don’t have plants or food to share, please come anyway!
