SUMMARY:June 16 Author talk: Plants with Purpose at Gardening Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Can you eat it? Make tea from it? Does it serve wildlife? Does it taste good or provide a health benefit? Is it low maintenance? Does it have a fun story? Does it provide a unique landscape service? Oh, and is it attractive?\nThese are the questions I asked of each plant upon assembling my new book Plants with Purpose: Twenty-five Ecosystem Multitaskers. To qualify, the plant had to answer YES to at least three besides attractiveness. Beauty alone is no longer reason enough to choose a plant that will occupy valuable real estate in your landscape. We owe functional plants–plants that do more than look good–to the ecosystem.\nJoin us for a presentation/discussion about choosing plants that go beyond beauty for our landscapes. Books will be available for purchase and author  autograph.\nOrganized by Gardening Volunteers of South Texas ( https://www.gardeningvolunteers.org/ )\nMonday, June 16, 2025\n12 pm – 3 PM\nSan Antonio Garden Center\n3310 North New Braunfels Avenue\nSan Antonio, Texas 78209\nFREE\n\nNOTES: \n–You can bring a brown bag lunch /snack (or contribute and participate in the pot luck buffet).\n–We have door prizes at each class. A $5 donation is appreciated to support that activity.\n–You can have your hand-pruning tools sharpened ($3 ea.)\n–We host pass-along plants & sell tables. You’re welcome to bring plants and seeds to share with the group.\n–There are always knowledgeable gardeners there to ask and answer questions.\n
