VMS opportunity: Workday at La Grange AgriLife Native plant landscape project

I almost forgot to remind ya’ll of our monthly clean up of the landscape bed:(. Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025 we’ll meet at 07:30 and “getter done!”

Please bring shovel or sharp shooter (is that the right name for it?) and saws in addition to your favorite garden tools.

I’d like to consider removing some plants and repositioning others.

Don’t forget your water, gloves, smile and fun conversation:)

Our regular workdays to attend the landscape are the 3rd Tuesday of the month from approximately 8 am to 10 am..

The native plant landscape bed is at the Fayette County AgriLife Extension Office on Svoboda Lane in La Grange and has been developed over a number of years by our chapter. There is a wonderful guidebook for the plants in a binder available at the Extension agent’s office. The landscape includes trees, shrubs, forbs, and grasses. Some pruning and weeding are always needed.  Bring your favorite gardening tools and water.  Also bring large garbage sacks for disposal of debris. We welcome all helpers and this site is a great opportunity to learn more about native plantings.
