John Snowden will be our speaker this month. John earned his BS degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. He researched the state of native plant landscaping in Texas and surrounding states while earning his MS in Horticulture also at Texas A&M University. He founded Bluestem Nursery to serve the demand for native Texas Grasses in native plant landscapes.
John's presentation will emphasize the drought-tolerant aspects of Texas native grasses, while showing their ornamental characters and showcasing the various habitats, ranging from shade to full sun. This gives the organic gardener a very diverse range of sizes, shapes, colors and places to put these well-adapted landscaping plants. Hope to see you there! |
