Title: Planning for Texas Wildflower Day 2025
Description:
Join November’s Chapter Leader Forum with Camelia Maier, Ph.D., and Tom Kirwan, Trinity Forks Chapter members, to discuss plans for Texas Wildflower Day 2025.
Texas Wildflower Day will take place next year on Friday, April 25, 2025, at Texas Woman’s University (TWU) Denton campus. This event honors Texas’ beautiful wildflowers and promotes their conservation. The Texas Legislature established this day in 1981 thanks to Carroll Abbott, a passionate wildflower preservationist.
The Carroll Abbott Wildflower Sanctuary, located in the northwest portion of the Texas Woman’s University campus, is dedicated to Carroll Abbott, the founder of the Native Plant Society of Texas. It features a variety of native Texas wildflowers.
Share your chapter’s ideas to promote our forty-fourth Texas Wildflower Day 2025, increase attendance, expand NPSOT organizational awareness throughout Texas, and engage Texans in NPSOT’s mission.
Presenters:
Dr. Camelia Maier is Texas Woman’s University’s Cornaro Professor, School of the Sciences, Division of Biology, Director and Curator, TWU Herbarium, and Chair of The Bettye Myers Butterfly Garden Advisory Committee, which oversees The Carroll Abbott Wildflower Sanctuary and Texas Wildflower Day.
Tom Kirwan is a member of TWU’s Texas Wildflower Day Planning Committee and NPSOT’s point of contact for our collaboration with the Homegrown National Park movement.
