One highlight of the Discovery Garden is the Pollinator Habitat, which was awarded a Native Pollinator Habitat Garden Grant in 2023 by the Clear Lake Chapter of the Native Plant Society. This garden habitat was designed to support native bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators while educating the public on the importance of native plants and habitat conservation.

Garden Tour at Diane Schrage's Home
2026-03-25 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Chicago)
Hi, fellow chapter members! I’m looking forward to sharing a bit of my land with you — not as a formal tour, but as an introduction to the Piney Woods of East Texas as I experience it. Come comfortable, curious, and ready to simply observe and enjoy. For those who’d rather not traipse through the woods, there’s plenty of room on the deck to sit, visit, and enjoy the view.

To RSVP for the tour of Diane Schrage’s garden, please CLICK HERE. Parking is limited for this MEMBERS ONLY event and an RSVP is required, so send us an email and we will give you the needed instructions on where to meet for parking and ride-sharing. Signed permission slips are required for each member that attends. Also, don’t forget to bring your water with you since this is an outdoor event. Also consider bringing your WALKING STICK with you in case you need the support as we hike the unlevel terrain.
