Event Summary: Tour of the San Marcos city-run native plant nursery and greenhouse, and a walking tour of the Level 1 Discovery Arboretum Trail.
Event Description: Description: This two-part San Marcos Discovery Center field trip includes 1) a tour of the San Marcos city-run native plant nursery and greenhouse operation supplying the city and community with native plants and 2) a walking tour of the Level 1 Discovery Arboretum Trail. The Discovery Arboretum Trail will take visitors on a tour through a variety of native and adapted woody shrubs and trees. Some of the trees are mature, while some are young and just beginning to establish and grow. The trail is located close to the Balcones fault-line and showcases many species of woody trees and shrubs that can grow on either the Blackland prairie or the Edwards plateau, covering a range of habitats, including riparian, mesic, and upland species. Tree-markers along the trail provide QR code access to species details.
