SUMMARY:Three years\, 75 acres and 100\,000 wetland plants: Creating a wetland at John Paul Landing Park in Katy - October 16
DESCRIPTION:The very large John Paul Landing park on the far west side of Harris County is at the epicenter of rapid neighborhood development\, and the Harris County Engineering Department planned an expansion of the lake in the park to absorb stormwater runoff. Remarkably\, wetlands were designed into the plans from the outset. Mary Carol Edwards’ company Green Star Wetland Plant Farm was subcontracted to source\, propagate\, and deliver the plants for each of the three phases of lake excavation and planting. She will discuss the results\, adventures\, and lessons learned along the way\, as well as introduce some of the key native species that found a new home in the project. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Carol founded Green Star Wetland Plant Farm in 2018 to meet a need for native aquatic species for all kinds of projects\, from backyard raingardens to large acreage restorations. She previously worked as the stormwater wetland specialist for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service’s Texas Community Watershed Partners\, as well as TCWP’s freshwater wetland restoration program\, at landscape design and landscape architecture firms\, and also in genetics research labs at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University. Mary Carol is a Houston native\, raised on Galveston Bay. She has a BS in Biology and an MA in Architecture from the University of Houston and enjoys bringing both disciplines together to create wonderful natural settings. \n\n\n\nOur monthly chapter meetings are held on every 3rd Thursday\, January – November. Our meetings are free and open to the public thanks to our members and sponsors.  \n\n\n\nThe presentation will start at 7:00 pm\, but come at 6:45 pm for a meet and greet with snacks. \n\n\n\nHouston Arboretum and Nature Center \n\n\n\n610 Entrance (preferred)120 W Loop N FwyHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\nWoodway Entrance4501 Woodway DriveHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\nMeetings will also be live-streamed and recorded for later viewing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Houston Chapter Page

SUMMARY:What Happened to that Plant? Fredericksburg Chapter meeting Oct 28
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to reflect on what happened in your landscape this year as you head into prime native planting season. Arlon Motsch\, an avid native plant gardener\, photographer\, and water conservationist will share his insights about “what happened to that plant?!” What worked\, what didn’t\, and then there are the few plants that need more time to tell.  \n\n\n\n\n“I’ve done a lot of things wrong and a few things right since moving to the Hill Country. It’s an ongoing journey of finding out what works and what doesn’t. Learning\,” he said\, “has come from many local sources like NPSOT\, friends\, friendly neighbors\, nature centers\, gardening programs\, and just hands-on getting it done.” \n\n\n\n\nThere will be some useful nuggets of information for just about everyone\, from the apartment balcony gardener to those that can’t see the end of their ”yard.”  \n\n\n\nMisty morning

SUMMARY:San Antonio Chapter Meeting October 2025
DESCRIPTION:Arrive at 6:30pm to share or find native plants at the Plants x Donation table. \n\n\n\nThis will be a “hybrid” meeting\, attend in-person or online. \n\n\n\n\nIn person: The Gathering Center at the Urban Ecology Center at Phil Hardberger Park\, 8400 NW Military Hwy\n\n\n\nOnline: Please register in advance to attend via Zoom.\n\n\n\n\nPresentation by Monika MaecklePlants with Purpose\n\n\n\nCan you eat it? Make tea from it? Does it serve wildlife? Does it taste good or provide a health benefit? Is it low maintenance? Does it have a fun story? Does it provide a unique landscape service? Oh\, and is it attractive? \n\n\n\nThese are the questions Monika Maeckle asked of each plant upon assembling my new book Plants with Purpose: Twenty-five Ecosystem Multitaskers. To qualify\, the plant had to answer YES to at least three besides attractiveness. \n\n\n\nBeauty alone is no longer reason enough to choose a plant that will occupy valuable real estate in your landscape. We owe functional plants–plants that do more than look good–to the ecosystem. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a presentation/discussion about choosing plants that go beyond beauty and actually give back to the ecosystem. Books available for purchase and author autograph. \n\n\n\nIf you are attending in person\, there is no need to register. However\, if you are attending via Zoom\, please register here before the meeting begins as late registration and entry will not be allowed. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n\n\n\nNote: The Zoom recording will be available within days after the meeting on our  YouTube channel.

He specializes in translating sustainable design into successful projects that provide varying layers of ecosystem services. His main interest is the application of ecological design\, resulting in functional sustainable landscapes within urban ecologies. A few of his current projects include: Tall grass prairie restoration in an urban riparian corridor\, native prairie green roof design\, residential pocket prairies\, sustainable roadsides\, and green infrastructure. \n\n\n\nJohn Hart worked on the green roof design and implementation for Bercy Chen Studio’s Edgeland House\, which was featured in Dwell and Texas Architect magazines and has won several awards\, including Architizer’s A+ Jury and Popular Choice Awards\, the 2016 Design Award of Excellence from Green Roofs for Healthy Cities and the Texas Society of Architects 2016 Design Award.
