Tree Talk Winter Walk 2013 at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
This month is free admission at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and on January 26th you can come out and enjoy the Tree Talk Winter Walk 2013.
This year’s walk features the new Mollie Steves Zachry Texas Arboretum…
“Developed as a classic arboretum, this is an interpreted collection where visitors can learn about the diversity of Texas trees in a relatively compact area. The ground plane is maintained in simple sweeps of native grasses and wildflowers, and pathways connect different groupings of trees. A major emphasis will be placed on Texas oaks, but many other woody species are included. The arboretum serves as a resource for tree-identification, field trips, and outdoor classes, and is the centerpiece of the Wildflower Center’s tree-related educational programs and events.”
Besides enjoying the new arboretum you can learn the benefits of planting native trees and shrubs and how to identify them, and plant them. As our recent drought brings to the forefront, one of the greatest benefits of cultivating native trees and shrubs in our yards is that they can tolerate our climate. And this just makes life easier!
Also during the Tree Talk Winter Walk is the Tree and Shrub Sale. This is a great opportunity to purchase native trees and shrubs from the experts. Winter is the best time to plant trees and shrubs in our area so now’s the time to replace anything lost during the drought.
Bring the family and enjoy guided walks and talks by experts. And there will be activities for the children like Kids Tree Climb, Build a Fort, Marshmallow Roast, Swing in the Cathedral of Oaks and a Tree Scavenger Hunt.
