Event Description: Deedy Wright, long time Texas gardener and Native Plant Society member with an interest in xeriscaping, native plants and invasive plant species will be sharing her vast knowledge on using native plants to create water conserving xeriscapes.

Deedy Wright is a life-long Texas gardener. Her particular interests are native plants, xeriscape, and invasive plants. She has been an active member of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT) since 1996 when she joined the San Antonio chapter.  She organized the Guadalupe NPSOT chapter in 2007 and New Braunfels Chapter in 2019. She served as president of the Guadalupe and New Braunfels chapters of NPSOT. She has also served for four years as the Vice-President of Education on the state NPSOT board. Until recently she chaired the state committee on invasive plants.

Deedy has completed the Texas Invaders training on invasive plants and multiple native plant courses at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. She served on the Native Landscape Certification Program (NLCP) Steering Committee for six years, and is also an NLCP instructor, completing Levels 1-3 and serving on the sub-committee to write Level 4. In addition she was a certified Master Gardener for 15 years in Bexar and Guadalupe counties, with specialist training in propagation and vegetable gardening. She has converted the typical contractor landscapes to xeriscapes using natives in the last three homes where she’s lived. She has dirt under her fingernails!
