We often hear, “My HOA won’t let me plant native plants.” The fact is, Texas state law prohibits HOAs from disallowing water-wise landscaping, but does allow them to require the landscaping fit into the general aesthetic of the neighborhood. How can we encourage the use of more native plants in our community and still make HOAs happy?
Our featured speaker for March will be Diane Wetherbee. Diane’s presentation will be Encouraging Native Landscapes in HOA Neighborhoods
Diane Wetherbee is vice chairman of the board of The Flower Mound Foundation. She is also a Texas Master Naturalist, as well as a member of the Native Prairies Association of Texas and the Native Plant Society of Texas. She is a Certified Citizen Forester and was a board member of the Cross Timbers Urban Forestry Council. After a career in corporate communications and product marketing, she turned to her first love – the natural world. She was an interpretive naturalist and environmental educator at LLELA for 12 years, and has been working toward a Ph.D. in forestry at Stephen F. Austin State University for what seems like forever, only lacking her dissertation. In her spare time, she serves as vice president of Lantana’s Denton County Fresh Water Supply District 7 board of directors, and is a member of Lantana HOA’s Architectural Review Committee.
