Have you been wondering what kind of tree is growing in your yard? Maybe you want to learn a fun new skill?
Well, you’re in luck, because the Central Texas Seed Savers and TreeFolks are coming to the Zilker Botanical Garden to lead a Tree ID lesson to help you learn a little more about what’s growing around you!
You will learn how to identify native trees, and how to safely and ethically collect seeds to donate to the TreeFolks Seeds To Trees Native Nursery from Walk Guide Bailey Hoops. Register at the link below!
The Central Texas Seed Savers is a growing network of people who love seeds with the mission of preventing the extinction of ecologically and culinarily important plants in the Central Texas Region.
TreeFolks was founded as Austin’s Urban Forestry non-profit in 1989. Since then, TreeFolks has grown to work with communities throughout Central Texas in community tree planting, tree giveaways, education and urban-wildland reforestation efforts. Our mission is to empower Central Texans to build stronger communities through planting and caring for trees.
This Tree ID Walk will be led by Bailey Hoops, a clinically trained herbalist, specializing in bioregional herbalism (Texas native medicinal plants). Bailey studied with the Austin Permaculture Guild (austinperm.com) and is certified in Permaculture Design. She is also is certified with the Native Plant Society of Texas in Landscaping with Native Plants (https://www.npsot.org/our-work/class-schedule/native-landscape-certification/). Since completing the Native Landscape Certification program she continues to volunteer with Austin NPSOT Chapter, TreeFolks, and CTX Seed Savers, where she teaches plant knowledge and leads plant walks for the program.
This class is geared toward adult learners but is open to participants of all ages.
