A Prickly Pear Pop-up Meeting and Free Taco Bar
Our regular May meeting fell on Memorial Day, so we are moving up our meeting, changing location, feeding you, and offering a follow-up field trip!!
Never Look At Prickly Pear the same again!
Have you ever wondered if the smaller prickly pear plants were just youngsters waiting to grow up? Did you ever think they may be an entirely different species? Join us at High Hope Ranch’s Habari Guest House on Monday, May 21 to learn to identify the 5 Prickly Pear species found in our area.
You’ll also get to see what happens when Karen Richardson, Granbury’s Phil Groelsch are turned loose on a mulberry that needs to be cut down!!!
Our speaker, Gregg Lee has also invited us to see at least 4 of the 5 different prickly pears on his ranch on 2013. We are looking at Saturday, June 2nd, best time to see the blooms is between noon and 1:00!
We will have our taco bar ready by 6:00, and start the program at 6:30.
Please let us know you are coming so we can have the right amount of tortillas, and we’ll send you back directions.
Directions:
High Hope Ranch is about 1.3 miles beyond the High Hope Overlook on County Road 2009. You access CR 2009 from FM 203 or CR 2008. 3353 County Road 2009. You’ll see the gravel driveway and two stone pillars with the High Hope Ranch Arch.
