This hybrid meeting is taking place both in person and online. Guest speaker Adam Lawrence will begin his discussion at 7:00 p.m. He will explore the incorporation of native plants — particularly native grasses — into home landscapes. Little Bluestem and Bushy Bluestem are the speaker’s favorite plants. Participants will learn about the ecological benefits, aesthetic appeal, and practical steps that must be taken to create a sustainable, nature-friendly garden inspired by the beauty of coastal prairies. Mr. Lawrence is the Habitat and Stewardship Manager at Artist Boat, where he oversees the Coastal Heritage Preserve, a nearly 1,100-acre expanse of coastal prairie and wetlands on the west side of Galveston Island.

Registration is required to access the online version of the meeting.
