SUMMARY:Lessons Learned Running a Native Plant Nursery\, Fredericksburg chapter - Feb 24
DESCRIPTION:“There are a whole host of positive aspects about a native plant business. I want to share the amazing and unexpected things I have leaned.” Dr David Winningham said. \n\n\n\n\nDr. David Winningham\, our February speaker for the Fredericksburgs chapter of NPSOT\, may have a PhD in physics but his love is the “hobby that got out of hand” – the nursery known as the Natives of Texas in the hill country between Kerrville and Medina. \n\n\n\nNurseries didn’t offer native plants in the early 1990s when the Winninghams began searching for those plants that thrive and support the ecology of the Texas Hill Country. As they explored western Texas from San Antonio as far as Big Bend\, they began collecting seeds and cuttings\, focusing on some for the madrone trees that have made the nursery famous.
