SPI GARDENS MEETING
Saturday, September 16 11:00 at Zeste (Padre Blvd/Retama)
Our first official meeting! All are welcome!
As stated in the preceding blog, the main theme of this meeting will be to discuss the use of native plants on public property: beach accesses, access planter boxes, medians, butterfly gardens, corner right of ways, bayside street ends, public building landscaping, etc. Bring a list of any particular areas you would like to see "enhanced".
The second item to be discussed will be propagation of native plants. Collecting seeds, cuttings, or actually digging them up in vacant lots and transplanting them.The third item on our agenda will be discussion of the October Plant Swap.
We have chosen Zeste for our first luncheon meeting because we think they have done such a wonderful job of landscaping in the spirit of the 2010 Report. They've got my vote for "Yard of the Month"!

Most excellent, MarsBeare. Of course you call the Zestes to let them know of an impending crowd? I have a request for some of that lamb chutney they do so well for an appetizer.
I think it should be a small group but if you recall, we have some wonderful resource people and don't forget the Brownsville (your brother) and Weslaco (Paul Johnson) forestry agents. Simply a must-do!
I do have several Sophorra seed pods and can collect a few more, as I think they are true natives that would be cool to give to gardeners who know how to use them. That's my goal right now, to save the Yellow Sophorra! /sam
