Breakout E6: Bring Your Yard to Life with Texas Native Plants! [Haeley Giambalvo]

August 26 @ 3:45 pm - 4:45 pm

More and more homeowners are looking to make a difference from their own yards by creating landscapes that not only look good, but DO good by supporting insects and wildlife, saving precious water resources, and reducing pesticides and herbicides. Our native plants are the perfect solution, and the Native Plant Society of Texas wants to show you how!

In this presentation, we will:
• Show how native plants are the perfect replacement for water-guzzling lawns and high-maintenance non-native plants.
• Demonstrate why native plants are the best options for bringing your yard to life with butterflies, bees, and birds.
• Provide an overview of the Texas Native Plant Society, and how you can become involved in a native plant society near you.

Haeley Giambalvo serves as the VP of Communications for the Native Plant Society of Texas. She has also been an active member of the San Antonio chapter since 2020, when she first got hooked on native plant gardening after becoming a Texas Master Naturalist. A professional blogger and online content creator for the past decade, Haeley launched NativeBackyards.com in 2020 to encourage people to help the Earth from their own yards by growing native plants that support insects and wildlife and conserve water. Her book “Native Plant Gardening for Beginners” is available on Amazon.
