SUMMARY:Rainscaping: The Next Generation of Water-Wise Landscaping - Austin Chapter Meeting June 18
DESCRIPTION:With droughts and floods\, our water challenges need an innovative solution. Rain gardens help solve both problems by maximizing the amount of water that stays on and in your landscape. Rain gardens support lush vegetation to provide habitat for butterflies and birds. Create your own backyard oasis by learning how to harvest the rain in this presentation \n\n\n\nShannon founded Ecosystem Regeneration Artisans (ERA) Landscaping in 2017 to unite talented land stewards on projects that realize the vision of creating healthy ecological communities. From residential Rainscapes to wildlife management on large-acreage ranches\, Shannon and her team create projects focused on earth care and people care. Their gardens use native plants to provide wildlife habitat for pollinators and birds\, incorporate perennial food crops for human consumption\, and involve mechanisms to harvest rainwater to capture it into the soil before it runs off\, and contributes to flooding. \n\n\n\nThis is a virtual meeting using Zoom.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Keeping it Local: Integrating Native Plants in Your Landscape - Hybrid Clear Lake Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Due to the impending arrival of Beryl\, we have decided to cancel our chapter meeting scheduled for Monday\, July 8\, 2024. Stay safe during the storm and we will see you next month! \n\n\n\nPlease join us for our chapter meeting in person or online! \n\n\n\n6:15 Doors Opens – UHCL Bayou Building\, Room 13336:40 Zoom Opens6:45 Business Meeting6:55 Plant of the Month7:00 Guest Speaker \n\n\n\nWhat’s all the hype about native plants? Through photos and stories\, native Texan Cherie Colburn demonstrates her gardening mantra of “first\, do no harm” by showing how attention to where\, why\, and what’s in our gardens can make us better stewards of our world. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nA professional landscape designer and native Texan\, Cherie has designed hundreds of low-maintenance commercial and residential landscape designs since 1994 through her company\, Nature’s Tapestry. She’s also helped create schoolyard gardens and habitats throughout Texas. As a garden writer\, she’s authored traditionally published books for both children and adults while also contributing more than 100 magazine and newspaper articles over the last four decades. Cherie’s gardening blog – Garden Dishes – was named by PBS’ Central Texas Gardener as a favorite. \n\n\n\nIn her spare time\, you can find Cherie singing and gardening – often simultaneously – at her home or church in The Woodlands where she feels confident she’s proven the theory that singing to plants makes them grow faster. Or\, maybe that it only works on native plants and noxious weeds! \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. If you need a pass\, arrive early enough to pick one up in Room 1333 (meeting room) and to place it in your car. DO NOT park in faculty/staff parking (enforced 24/7). \n\n\n\nArrive early to socialize and enter your name in the drawing for the door prize. \n\n\n\nMap and Directions – The meeting will be held in Bayou Building Room 1333 at UHCL. \n\n\n\nUniversity of Houston-Clear Lake2700 Bay Area Blvd.Houston\, TX 77058 \n\n\n\nOnline – Zoom\n\n\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting.

Part of this transformation is the Greener Gulfton effort and we will tell that story. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nJaime González is an award-winning conservationist\, environmental educator\, public speaker\, and coalition builder working at the intersection of human health\, biodiversity conservation\, equity\, and climate action.

SUMMARY:Taylor Garrison\, The Inner Workings of Vegetative Diversity: Monocots\, Dicots & Beyond\, North Central Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:It has long been known that healthy ecosystems thrive from and by diversity. The needs of wildlife include food\, water\, and shelter. Plants provide all three. But to take it further\, there are specifics in the relationships between which types of plants\, what other living things rely on or interact with plants\, and the arrangement of plants that can affect the ecological health of an area. The fun part? The “area” can be your ¼ acre pocket prairie or a 10\,000-acre ranch or preserve. The tools are all the same in interpreting and managing a prairie regardless of size. The recipe though can be different. This presentation will broadly cover what prairies area\, what they need to function\, the importance of monocots (aka grasses and such)\, forb diversity and their importance\, woody species (the good\, bad\, and ugly)\, and lastly genetics of prairie plant species and we can help. \n\n\n\nBio: Taylor Garrison is a private lands biologist with TPWD covering Dallas\, Ellis\, Kaufman\, Navarro and Freestone Counties. Originally form Corpus Christi\, Texas\, Taylor obtained his BS in Range & Wildlife Management from Texas A&M University-Kingsville and his MS in Range & Wildlife Management from Sul Ross State University-Alpine. This background and time spent on family & friend ranches near Utopia and Luling\, brought on a deep interest in the wildlife\, plants\, ranching\, and most aspects of outdoor recreation. His primarily role with TPWD is to work with private landowners to help better their land for wildlife. Taylor has leadership roles in prescribed fire\, landowner outreach\, native grassland restoration\, plant ID\, and is the current vice-chair of the Northeast Texas Conservation Delivery Network\, an organization meant to coordinate conservation efforts amongst professionals and guide cost-share assistance for landowners in the Eastern 1/3rd of Texas.  \n\n\n\nFort Worth Botanic Garden in the Rose Room \n\n\n\n3220 Botanic Garden Blvd\, Fort Worth\, Texas 76107 \n\n\n\n6:15 pm Socializing & snacks 6:30 pm Business meeting and announcementsThe presentation will follow our business meeting. \n\n\n\nThis meeting is hybrid; in person with a virtual Zoom option. \n\n\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting: \n\n\n\nhttps://npsot-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkcemoqDovH9Qb5PdbLPQN_ipqLjhCzESG \n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
