🌿 OUR ANNUAL NATIVE PLANT SALE — A BLOOMING SUCCESS!!

THANK YOU to everyone who came to our Native Plant Sale during the HummerBird Celebration. You stopped by our outreach table, asked great questions, and took home hundreds of Texas native plants. We wrapped the weekend with very little inventory left — a true blooming success.

By the numbers:
💚 $12,900+ raised over 3 days for Mid-Coast conservation, education, and outreach!
🌱 Hundreds of natives found new gardens
👋 Hundreds of visitors talked about plants, pollinators, and habitat with us

🐛 Bonus guests: Queen butterfly caterpillars showed up on our Zizotes milkweed — living proof of why these plants matter

This sale is our chapter’s primary fundraiser. Proceeds support youth programs, pollinator gardens, habitat work, public education, and training the next generation of Texas Master Naturalists across our Mid-Coast region.
