September 24, Monday 6PM Meeting
Donna Hagar’s Garden Tour. Please note the EARLIER Start Time. Donna spent her early gardening efforts roaming the countryside collecting seeds. Consequently, we are excited to see the fruits (and seed, and roots, and leaves, and flowers…..) of her efforts. RSVP to prairierose.npsot@gmail.com for directions.
September 22, Saturday 8:30AM- 1PM: Native Arts Day at the Chisolm Trail Museum.
Prairie Rose will host the Prickly Pear Cactus booth again this year. Join us for an hour or two at the booth. We will share knowledge about prickly pear cactus use by Native Americans of the Southwest. Contact Lori Whitworth at whitworth.loric@gmail.com to volunteer.
Native Plant Sale: October 27, Saturday, 9AM-1PM
In honor of Native Plant Week, Prairie Rose Chapter will hold our annual fall plant sale. As you know, fall is the best time for planting in Texas. The sale will feature Texas native plants. It will take place in front of our Native Plant Community Garden. As always, we are in need of volunteers to help us greet customers and load up plants. If you are able to help, please email us at prairierose.npsot@gmail.com.
SAVE THE DATE AND SAVE THE PALUXY: NRCS Riparian Workshop :
NOVEMBER 9, 2018, Friday, 8AM-5PM. Glen Lake Retreat: 1102 NE Barnard Street, Glen Rose, TX
Registration $15.00 per person. Lunch is included with this cost. Registration forms will be be e-mailed soon.
Arguably the most important Prairie Rose Chapter event of the year, this is an educational opportunity designed to teach our community how to improve the health of our Paluxy River and eliminate costly, annual dredging. As most of you know, our local Paluxy River fills with silt and must be dredged yearly, at taxpayer expense.
Prairie Rose Chapter is partnering with Chalk Mountain Wildlife Management Association, Friends of the Brazos, Somervell County Master Gardeners, and Rio Brazos Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists to offer this one day workshop and field trip. Invite friends and family to attend this workshop. Most importantly, extend an invitation to your County Commissioner, Glen Rose City Council members, and local water board members too!
Congratulations go to local residents, Russ and Marcia Miller who have just received the NRCS Texas Land Stewardship award. A big thank you to Karen Richardson for working diligently for two years to get this program presented in Glen Rose.
NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITY GARDEN HOLIDAY DECORATING EVENT
The Christmas season begins with the Thanksgiving Day Parade on the Glen Rose Square. We will decorate our Native Plant Community Garden again this year! Therefore, we are moving our meeting date so we can have the garden decorated before Parade. Tentative garden decorating dates are Saturday, Nov. 16th, Sunday the 17th and Monday the 19th. Very likely, we will have workdays on all three dates. It is a come and go affair. Our garden serves a photo backdrop for locals and visitors alike. Help us shine it up for the holidays.
