Big Bend Trip Report

We now have pictures and updates on our website of the Arboretum Big Bend trip last week. The trip was great, the weather was pleasant, the crowds weren't there and there were a lot of plants in bloom, like this Texas sage. We're going to do it again next year, so stay tuned!

Upcoming late August & September Programs

We have a full slate of interesting things planned for the next two months, starting with an introduction to Dragonflies and Damselflies on Aug. 18,23. Keeping with the winged insect theme, Nancy Greig from the Cockrell Butterfly Center will teach us Butterflies of the Upper Texas Coast on Sept. 9,12. Aspects of bees and beekeeping will be taught by Donald Burger on Sept. 22. If you'd like to photograph butterflies, don't miss Kathy Adams Clark's class on that subject on Sept. 26. Attracting butterflies to your yard is a good first step - Glenn Olsen will teach Gardening for Butterflies on Sept. 1,2. And don't forget the popular Edible Plants class on Aug.23. I'll try to post the Oct. events in the next entry this afternoon before we leave for Big Bend on Monday.
