The next meeting is at 2:00 pm July 28 at the Aransas County AgriLife Extension Office, 892 Airport Road, Rockport TX 78382. The 2-hour program, “Why Plants Are Native,” will be an illustrated exploration of the conditions of various areas of the state that affect plant life, so that some plants grow here and some grow there. You will see slides of many plants, including some of the special plants that grow in each area. The program is presented by Dr. Wayne McAlister, recognized expert on nature in general, Texas nature in particular, and nature of the Coastal Bend especially. Members will have the opportunity to preorder native plants for pickup at the time of the Hummer/Bird Celebration in Rockport Sep 14-16.
