The Latest Buzz
"Growing Together"
Thank you to our October speakers, who introduced us to neighbors near and far working to benefit all the life that depends on our green spaces. We all want to do our part, but it can be difficult to know where to begin. Locally, there are volunteer opportunities at Green Acres Farm Memorial Park. Email becky.bertoni@gmail.com to learn more.
HomeGrownNationalPark.org has a wealth of information that will help you take the steps needed to get started. Be sure to explore the different menus. For us, the Lady Bird Johnson Native Plant List is highly recommended. There is a Keystone tool to identify species for each location, as Jessie said, that have been researched and identified by Douglas Tallamy as the most productive native plants. Here is a list for Flower Mound zip codes.

We had a wonderful turn out for the visit! Sandi had arranged for a tour and there was fascinating information given about their unique inventory of Asian plants, many of which are sold for culinary, medicinal and cultural purposes.
The inventory is huge and includes many plants not usually seen in big box stores, such as holy basil, pandant leaf, curry plant, black pepper vine, green tea, neem oil plant, betel, jelly grass, Tanenashi persimmon, and butterfly pea.
The variety of jasmine pictured is cold hardy to zone 8. It was a favorite.

Service Projects

The Flower Mound Garden Club has placed three bluebird houses around the Bridlewood Amenity Center. Two houses are located along Bridlewood Blvd and the other is located near the Amenity Center’s basketball court. The Club, in partnership with the Cavity Nester Conservancy Project, donated the houses to begin establishing a bluebird trail in Bridlewood.
Bluebirds build nests and raise broods in Texas from February through early August. Male bluebirds establish a three-to-four-acre territory around a nest box and attract a female with wing flutters and calls. The female approves the nesting site and builds the nest. Once the nest is complete the female will lay one egg per day. The clutch will typically be 3-6 eggs. These eggs are typically blue.
The Club asks residents/FMGC members to observe activity at the bluebird houses from a distance and to not disturb the nesting process.
