Riverside Nature Center’s fall native plant sale moved to Oct. 10

Riverside Nature Center’s Fall Native Plant Sale, originally scheduled for Oct. 3, has moved to Saturday, Oct. 10.

The sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the nature center, 150 Francisco Lemos St. Members of Riverside Nature Center, the Kerrville Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas and the Hill Country Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists get early access starting at 9 a.m.

Organizers say fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs. The sale will offer native perennials, shrubs, trees and grasses selected from nurseries across Central Texas, while supplies last. Native plants are suited to Hill Country soil and drought, and once established they need little water or maintenance and no fertilizers or pesticides.

Plant docents will be on hand to help buyers choose plants for their landscapes, and personal shoppers can help people navigate the sale. Many of the plants for sale can be seen at full size in the center’s gardens.

All purchases are tax-free. Net proceeds support the education programs of the three sponsoring groups.
