Help Clean Up a Defunct Native Plant Nursery—and Bring a Few Plants Home!

Details

Because its operator has died, one of Central Texas's more established native plant nurseries, McNeal Growers, has closed. The landowner needs to clean up the property to seek a new tenant, but before sending in the big equipment he wants to save the last of Pat McNeal's life's work.
If you are willing to help with the work—whether identifying plants worth saving, gathering seeds and cuttings, actually moving the plants, or watering the plants after they are out of the way—you may bring plants home for use in your own landscape or habitat restoration project. To participate, you must first register at this website.
See the registration link for more information. Late the night before each workday, I will send more information and directions to the nursery to everyone who has registered.
Want native plants but don't feel up to helping with the work? Register at the same site for one of the Buying Only shifts, Come at the time you registered for, see what's available, and negotiate with John Gleason on a price.
You may register here on Meetup to show others in our group that you are attending this event, but to attend you must register at the link given above.
Although I am not posting it as a separate event here, the cleanup will also occur on Sunday, Sept. 29. If you would like to come then, register for a Sunday shift at the same website.
