NTMN March Chapter Meeting: Using Native Texas Plants to Establish Wildlife Habitat

There are over 5000 native vascular plant species reported for Texas, and the majority of our flora depend on pollinators for breeding and survival.  This presentation will discuss gardening in north central Texas using native plants, and the amazing connections you can create between the flora and fauna in your yard.
