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.
