NPSOT-SA’s Native Plant Day Set for March 2010 at Eisenhower Park
Your Help Needed!
NPSOT-SA is sponsoring a native plant event on Saturday, March 20, 2010, at Eisenhower Park. The main
purpose of this event is to educate the public on the value of native plants and the necessity for the preservation
of natural areas. We intend to engage the participation of other nonprofits in the event.
Preliminary concepts include:
- a series of speakers on native plant-related topics
- booths for relevant nonprofits
- agencies who support NPSOT’s mission
- native plant only sale
- native plant exchange
- interpretive walks
- children’s activities
- plant-related demonstrations such as propagation techniques, rainwater harvesting, plant selection, and design considerations.
We plan to raise funds to meet – and hopefully exceed – expenses by recruiting sponsorships and by the proceeds from the plant sale.
To make this event a success we need your advice and participation. We welcome your suggestions of other
groups to contact to participate in this event. You may know of non-NPSOT members who would like to
volunteer to help with the event. Please volunteer for the many tasks that need to be performed to assure the
event’s success and effectiveness. If you can help with the planning of and preparation for the event and at the event itself contact Jerry Morrisey at npsotxsa at gmail.com.
