SUMMARY:Native Swagger: Turning Heads with Texas Native Plants – Williamson County Chapter Meeting\, May 14
DESCRIPTION:Join NPSOT-Williamson County on Thursday\, May 14\, 2026\, when our featured topic will be “Native Swagger: Turning Heads with Texas Native Plants” with Andrea DeLong-Amaya. Free and open to the public. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  The guest presentation begins after a short business meeting. \n\n\n\nPlease note => This month’s guest presentation will NOT be recorded for YouTube. \n\n\n\nAbout our topic: Native plants are ecological powerhouses while representing our botanical heritage. But too often\, they’re dismissed as messy or weedy. It’s time to change the narrative! In this talk\, we’ll explore how to use native plants to create gardens that are true people-pleasers. From wild to formal designs\, lawns to containers\, sun to shade\, wildlife gardens to water gardens\, even edible gardens — you’ll see how natives provide habitat while they also serve as the anchor for stunning landscapes. Whether you’re already a native-plant champion or just native-curious\, you’ll come away with ideas to elevate your garden and give native plants the starring role they deserve. \n\n\n\nBONUS BOOK SIGNING! Bring your copy of Andrea’s book The Texas Native Plant Primer for Andrea to sign! If you don’t have it yet\, be sure to purchase the primer before the meeting. Copies will NOT be available for sale at the meeting. Options for purchasing include the NPSOT Bookstore\, or Timber Press. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker:Andrea DeLong-Amaya (ahn-DRAY-ah di-LONG ah-MY-ah)Horticulture Educator\, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center \n\n\n\nFor over three decades\, Andrea DeLong-Amaya has been living her life’s mission to honor the natural world through presenting and teaching classes about the horticulture\, ecology\, and importance of native plants in planned landscapes. \n\n\n\nOver the prior 21 years\, she served as the Wildflower Center’s Director of Horticulture\, overseeing the nine acres of Texas native plant gardens\, and nursery programs. She’s been a staff member since 1998 and has over 30 years of experience with Texas native plants in horticulture\, ecology and garden design. Recently\, she has taken on a new role at the Wildflower Center focusing more on teaching and advancing interpretation in the gardens. \n\n\n\nAndrea has contributed numerous gardening articles to publications such as Taunton’s Fine Gardening\, Rodale’s Organic Gardening\, American Public Gardens Association’s Public Garden\, Neil Sperry’s Gardens and e-Gardens\, Texas Gardener and Wildflower (the Center’s member magazine). Her regionally best-selling book\, the Texas Native Plant Primer (Timber Press)\, was released in March of 2025. \n\n\n\nAndrea has appeared numerous times on Central Texas Gardener\, PBS’s long-running television program\, and was a two-time guest on WNYC’s Science Friday. Jennifer Jewell featured Andrea’s work in her 2020 book\, “The Earth in Her Hands: 75 Extraordinary Women Working in the World of Plants\,” and interviewed DeLong-Amaya on the podcast Cultivating Place. \n\n\n\nThe Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College honored Andrea with the prestigious 2025 Scott Garden & Horticulture Award in March 2025. And in the fall of 2025\, the Native Plant Society of Texas recognized her for the Texas Native Plant Primer with the Correll Memorial Award. \n\n\n\n==> This month’s in-person location is the Georgetown Public Library\, 2nd floor\, 402 West 8th St\, Georgetown\, TX 78626.

SUMMARY:Party in the Prickly Pear – Williamson County Chapter Meeting\, June 11

The meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  The guest presentation begins after a short business meeting. \n\n\n\nAbout our topic: Prickly pear occurs throughout the state of Texas; it’s even our state plant. Have you ever really thought about this cactus? We will take a look at this family of native plants. First\, a little about cacti in general and what makes prickly pear different. What is its place in nature? How have humans used it in the past and today? This will be a fun look at a plant we see everyday. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: Becky Roe is a lifelong nature lover; she found her niche when she became a Master Naturalist in 2022 with the Good Water chapter. As a Master Naturalist\, her interest in plants has intensified\, especially native plants\, which led to her joining the Native Plant Society in 2023. She is a member of the Tonkawa Chapter and is an associate member of the Williamson County Chapter. Becky also volunteers at Mother Neff State Park as often as possible\, helping with school field trip days and leading guided plant hikes. She enjoys sharing with others how plants interact with all the other parts of nature\, and with how people have historically used those plants. \n\n\n\n==> This month’s in-person location is the Georgetown Public Library\, 2nd floor\, 402 West 8th St\, Georgetown\, TX 78626.
