I made a video about landscaping with native plants

September 7, 2021 by Pamela Parker Caird Leave a Comment

I recently joined the Native Plant Society of Texas, and was pleased to receive an email about their annual video contest. My first thought was that it would be a great thing to work on with my kids — what a great bonding experience. Well, it became clear in not-too-long that this project was MUCH more important to me than it was to them.

I did manage to wangle a bit of help, especially when it came to ideation. I also made a companion website (as you do) because there’s so much to say about native plant landscaping (aka wildscaping) that it couldn’t possibly be covered in 5 minutes (the max length for the contest). Anyway, I’m told I can share as much as I want even though contest judging doesn’t conclude until October. So, here you go…

Big thanks to Kelly Simon of Texas Parks & Wildlife, who I interviewed for the video, and with whom I enjoyed “nerding out” very very much.
