SUMMARY:Collin County June Meeting: Encouraging Native Landscapes in HOA Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:Our Tuesday June 2nd chapter meeting will be available to attend in person at the Heard Museum in McKinney or online via Zoom. The program will feature Diane Wetherbee presenting on “Encouraging Native Landscapes in HOA Neighborhoods”. Plus\, we will have a guided walk through the Heard’s Gardens.  \n\n\n\nTexas Discovery Gardens\n\n\n\nPresentation Summary\n\n\n\nWe often hear\, “My HOA won’t let me plant native plants.” The fact is\, Texas state law prohibits HOAs from disallowing water-wise landscaping but does allow them to require that landscaping fit the neighborhood’s general aesthetic. How can we encourage the use of more native plants in our community while keeping HOAs happy? \n\n\n\nAttendance Options\n\n\n\nOur meetings are free and open to the public. This is a hybrid meeting held at the Heard Museum in McKinney and virtually via Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nLocation (in-person): Laughlin Hall at the Heard Museum. Please enter through the south doors of the building.\n\n\n\nZoom Link: https://tinyurl.com/yn85nbzd – Passcode: 571904; Meeting ID: 885 5459 6572\n\n\n\nDoors and Zoom Open: 6:30 PM (for setup and connection testing)\n\n\n\nMeeting Begins: 7:00 PM\, with a brief update from Chapter President Rodney Thomas\, followed by the featured presentation.\n\n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you at our program! \n\n\n\nHeard Museum Native Garden Walk\n\n\n\nBefore the meeting\, join us for a guided walk through the Heard Gardens. Our schedule is as follows: \n\n\n\n5:45 – Begin gathering in Laughlin Hall for Garden Walk6:00 – Garden Walk begins6:45 – Garden Walk concludes \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nDiane is a Texas Master Naturalist\, as well as a member of the Native Prairies Association of Texas and the Native Plant Society of Texas.

SUMMARY:Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA) Workday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for BCCNA workdays! \n\n\n\nThe BCCNA project involves the restoration and enhancement of the Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA). The BCCNA is comprised of 13-acres on either side of the Old No. 9 Trail\, behind the library. We are working towards restoring this area to a native pollinator habitat\, creating a wildlife corridor and haven within the city. \n\n\n\nBCCNA Workdays take place on the first and third Thursdays of each month. \n\n\n\nOur meeting place will be in the Boerne Patrick Heath Public Library parking lot near the windmill. If you don’t see us at the windmill\, walk out behind the library across the creek as we’ve likely already started!  \n\n\n\nEach volunteer will be required to fill out the City of Boerne’s liability waiver the first time he or she volunteers. \n\n\n\nContact Jeff Schwarz at jeffschwarz27@gmail.com for more info.
