There are over 70 species of Juniperus but the common one found growing locally on limestone is Juniperus ashei. 01/17/2024 12:00 AM

Happy New Year Mother Earth
Happy New Year Mother Earth
Making a New Year’s resolution is a time-honored practice thought to date to the ancient Mesopotamians. We are all aware of the stress our planet is under, so 2024 might be the year to make our resolutions to the benefit of our dear Mother Earth. Here are some suggestions: 1. Plant a pollinator garden. Pollinator populations are in decline across the United States. One reason for this decline is habitat loss. We can help! Visit a local nursery and ask about native pollinator plants. Then create your own habitat. 01/11/2024 12:00 AM

New Year’s Resolutions
As we close out 2023 and welcome a new year, some of us contemplate whether or not we should commit to making New Year’s resolutions. If you are like me, you probably go back and forth debating with yourself about whether you’ll actually get past January and continue to stand fast with your list. 01/03/2024 12:00 AM

Holiday Houseplants
When I think of Holiday House plants there are three that come to mind: Amaryllis, Poinsettias and Paperwhite Narcissus. All three of these can be grown outdoors under the right conditions. 12/21/2023 12:00 AM
A snag for our birds
A snag for our birds
Many of us enjoy living in Wimberley because we share our space with wildlife. For many, bird watching is an avid hobby and for others a pleasant pastime. I fall into the second group, but I do love my backyard birds and try to provide for their needs. Environmental scientists consider our avian friends to be an indicator species. That means the study of bird life can indicate the overall quality of a habitat. 12/14/2023 12:00 AM
