Help us kick off the Great Grow Out of 2017!

Katy Prairie Conservancy (KPC) and the Houston Chapter of the Native Prairies Association of Texas (HNPAT) are teaming up to host a seed packing party at the January 25th HNPAT monthly meeting. Learn about prairie plants and how to clean seeds from KPC experts. Prairie plant seeds collected from the wild last fall will be packed into envelopes to be distributed to KPC's Great Grow Out (KatyPrairie.org/GGO) participants. 

Information about the Great Growout will be available at the meeting. Seed packers are encouraged to take some seeds home and participate!

Come & eat, make some new friends, support KPC and HNPAT, and clean and pack some seeds!

Cost: Free. Refreshments will be provided.

Some of the species for this year's Great Grow Out are:  

• Splitbeard bluestem (Andropogon ternarius) NEW!
• American Basket-flower (Centaurea americana)
• Purple Lovegrass (Eragrostis spectabilis)
• Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium yuccifolium)
