May Chapter Meeting

May 16, 2023 @ 5:30 pm 7:30 pm

Please join us for our May Chapter Meeting where Carol Clark will be giving her presentation titled “Milkweeds of North and Central Texas, and How to Propagate them from Seed.” This presentation will be in-person, but also available over Zoom.

Most people have heard about the connection between Milkweeds and Monarchs, and many have resolved to plant Milkweeds for Monarchs.  The problem comes when they seek out native milkweeds to plant and realize they are difficult to find at their local nursery. This program takes a quick look at 13 of the  most commonly found milkweeds and their relatives in the region, with notes on their preferences and growth habits. Then, it introduces a proven method for germinating milkweed seeds and starting your own healthy milkweed transplants. 

Carol Clark is a Texas Master Naturalist, long-time Native Plant Society of Texas member, Chair of the Bring Back the Monarchs to Texas committee of NPSOT, and a Monarch Watch Conservation Specialist.  When she isn’t busy teaching others about pollinators or native plants, she enjoys looking after her own colossal Monarch Waystation and wildlife refuge in Cooke County. Carol teaches Monarch workshops around the state, and she is a frequent speaker about conservation topics in North Texas.
