SUMMARY:Exploration Green Phase 3A Pollinator Garden - Hybrid Clear Lake Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:6:15 Doors Opens – UHCL Bayou Building\, Garden Room (1510)6:40 Zoom Opens6:45 Business Meeting6:55 Plant of the Month7:00 Guest Speaker \n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening of delicious pizza\, exciting door prizes\, and the chance to connect with others while learning something new! Bring your own beverage. \n\n\n\nThe Exploration Green Phase 3A pollinator garden aims to change the expectations of the public and ways people interact with pollinator gardens. The 3A garden started with a grant from the Clear Lake Chapter of the Native Plant Society in September 2024 and is expanding this spring with an additional grant received from H-E-B/Texas Master Naturalist’s Pollinators for Texas initiative. It is a long-term pollinator habitat within the conservancy where volunteers and the public can observe a variety of native plants and their relationships with resident and migrant animals\, as well as omnipresent environmental factors like heat\, wind\, rain\, snow\, and drought. Plant information is part of the design\, and data is collected and evaluated. The aim of these data is to help this garden and others in our area evolve season by season and year by year. This presentation will highlight the challenges\, successes\, and surprises from the first six months and look ahead to the future with the hope of inspiring more members to create public gardens. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\nAfter a lifetime in the Houston area spent toiling for oil and gas\, Lynn Porfirio discovered a passion for green volunteer work starting with Trees for Houston\, Galveston Bay Foundation\, and SPLASh. In 2023\, she became a member of Galveston Bay Area Texas Master Naturalist and Native Plant Society to learn about different volunteer opportunities and better understand the nature of the region. The following year\, Lynn completed the Native Landscape Certification Program. She is the owner of Native Ideas Yard Care and designer and champion of the 3a pollinator garden. \n\n\n\n\nIn-person – Parking Pass Required\n\n\n\nIf you have a pass\, don’t forget it – you will not get another one if you picked one up previously.
