Three Native Plant Society Chapters are holding sales this weekend, Saturday, March 28th. They sell only plants that have developed naturally in Texas. Check out Burnet, Salado and our own Williamson County chapter sale which meets in Georgetown. HEB is also doing an excellent job offering a section of Texas native plants at our local stores. Now is a great time to plant! Highland Lakes (Burnet) 3/28/2026 10 AM - 4 PM 27th Annual Hill Country Lawn & Garden Show Agrilife Au

Fire Ant Treatment  Following sound environmental practices, our SGUUF Habitat team does not use any chemical fertilizers or insecticides. Yet the invasive fire ants, as you all experience, are a constant problem. So years ago, we found the following recipe. Bonnie Lynn McKinnon volunteered to take on this job, especially to protect the children on Sundays, and adults too. We are all so grateful, as the ants can surprise us too. She’s been doing this so long I can’t remember.

Anyone interested in digging in the dirt in support of wildlife is invited to join the Habitat team on Thursday, March 19th at 11:00 on the deck at UU.  (inside if it rains) Bring your lunch and we will visit and make plans for the coming spring months. You don’t have to know anything about native Texas plants or gardening.  We just work together and have a good time!  Contact Billye Adams at  habitat@sangabrieluu.org
