Rosettes, the Harbingers of Spring, Fredericksburg, Jan 27

January 27 @ 7:00 pm 8:00 pm

Kathy Saucier, our Gillespie County resident Certified Wildscape instructor, opens our new year January 27 at 7:00 pm with a challenge: find the harbingers of spring. Look closely! Not for migrating birds, but on the ground.

“Do you see those tiny rosettes that are nestled against the earth? Each one is soaking up sunshine.”

A closer look under the fallen stems and leaves of last year’s wildflowers and grasses reveals that many new plants have already germinated and are showing their first and second sets of leaves.

“Each one is soaking up sunshine. Each one is converting winter moisture into the wondrous explosion of color that makes the Hill Country famous for its wildflower display” Saucier said.

During this evening presentation, Saucier will open our eyes to the variety of rosettes that are the opening scene of summer’s perennials. Join us January 27. Click the Live event below.
