Austin Chapter

NPSOT Austin Plant Sale

Each year, members of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT), Austin chapter, grow native plants that you may not find in typical retail garden centers. These plants are ready for new homes! All proceeds from the sale support the mission of helping people learn about native plants by using them in their own landscapes.

When and Where

 

  • The Spring Plant Sale will be on Sunday, April 26, 2026, 11am – 3pm (or until all plants are sold out)
  • At the Dowell Ranch Preserve, part of the Native Prairie Association of Texas
  • 301 Farm to Market 1626, Manchaca, TX 78652

Plants will be arranged by plant form category (trees, shrub, etc) and within the category in alphabetical order by scientific name. 
 
Come early for the best selection, but no shopping before 11AM. Bring a wagon, basket or box for shopping. Please do not bring dogs as this site is a preserve. 
 
NPSOT members will receive a 10% discount on plant purchases. You must have a current paid membership of the society to be eligible for the discount.

About the Region

Fall Symposium 2025 Logo - Teach for the Future

Salado, the location of our Fall 2025 Symposium, lies at the intersection of two ecoregions: the Edwards Plateau (Limestone Cut Plain) and Blackland Prairie (Northern Blackland Prairie).

The Edwards Plateau area is also called the Hill Country; however, this general term covers a much larger area extending farther north. Spring-fed creeks are found throughout the region; deep limestone canyons, rivers, and lakes (reservoirs) are common. Ashe juniper is perhaps the most common woody species found throughout the region. Additional woody species include various species of oak, with live oak (Quercus fusiformis) being the most common. Sycamores (Platanus occidentalis) and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) border waterways. This area is well known for its spring wildflower displays, though they may be viewed in spring, late summer, and fall, as well. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, average annual rainfall in the Edwards Plateau ranges from 15 to 34 inches.

The Blackland Prairie extends from the Red River south to San Antonio, bordered on the west by the Edwards Plateau and the Cross Timbers, and on the east by the Post Oak Savannah. Annual rainfall averages 30 to 40 inches, with higher averages to the east. This region is dominated by prairie species. The most common grass species include little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans) in the uplands and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) in the riparian areas and drainages. Common herbaceous flowering plants include salvias, penstemons, and silphiums. This area has suffered greatly from overgrazing and agricultural use. Few intact areas remain, though many of the plants can be found along county roadsides throughout the region.

Our fall Symposium host chapter, the Tonkawa Chapter, includes both of these ecoregions.
