December 8, 2025 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
The Clear Lake Chapter’s annual Holiday Potluck will be held in the Forest Room of the Bayou Building on the UHCL campus. The party will include a garden gift exchange (unwrapped), a native plant bingo and a delicious potluck supper, annual awards, and lots more!
Potluck
You may bring your own meal if you would rather not participate in the potluck dishes. Everyone will need to bring their own cup or glass, plate, and silverware. Iced tea and water will be available.
To avoid everyone bringing a delicious desert, it is suggested that if your last name begins with:
A – D: bring a Main Dish
E – J: bring a Dessert
K – P: bring an Appetizer
Q – Z: bring a Salad
Gift Exchange
Please bring an unwrapped native plant or gardening related gift to participate in the gift exchange. What to bring? What garden gifts are on your own Christmas list? Maybe a special book, gloves, an interesting tool, something from the garden or even some of your own art or craft work.
Native Plants to Swap or Seeds for Outreach
Bring your extra plants or seeds to share.
Bingo & Awards
The evening will include instrumental holiday music by two talented high school local musicians. Also included in the evening’s frivolity will be the always popular Native Plant Bingo, Member of the Year Award, and announcements.
Parking – Student Lots D2 (closest), D3 & D4
DO NOT park in employee parking (enforced 24/7)
Clear Lake Chapter Members: If you have a pass, don’t forget it – you will not get another one if you picked one up previously. If you need your new pass, arrive early enough to pick one up in the meeting room and place it in your car.
Visitors: Non-members may purchase a pass for $5, or “rent” one (while supplies last) — if returned at the end of the meeting, the $5 will be returned. Temporary parking permits may also be purchased at the kiosk in front of the Recreation Center or via T2 Mobile Pay.
Hosted by the Environmental Institute of Houston, University of Houston-Clear Lake.
