Monday, June 10
For June’s chapter meeting, we continue on our virtual road trip to visit pollinator habitats funded by the chapter’s Native Pollinator Habitat Grant Program. You will hear from current projects at two sites: Ward Elementary Pollinator Garden at John F. Ward Elementary, and Hometown Heroes Park in League City. In addition, we will also have updates on previously funded projects that are currently thriving, showcasing the continued impact and success of our grant program.
About the Sites
Ward Elementary Pollinator Garden at John F. Ward Elementary (Clear Creek ISD): Ward’s school garden aims to serve as a safe haven and nursery for pollinators. And, importantly, will also provide context for teaching students and their families about the importance of pollinators and native plants.
Pollinator Garden at Hometown Heroes Park (League City): This Eagle Scout project, located on the 5K Loop Trail at Hometown Heroes Park, features plants that provide nectar and pollen sources to a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Meetings are open to members and non-members. If you would like to become a member, you may join online. For more information about the Native Plant Society of Texas and the benefits of membership please visit: www.npsot.org.
