WATER WISE: CONVERT TURF GRASS YARDS TO NATIVE PLANT HAVEN
Saturday, August 8 @ 10:30 a.m. – Wimberley Community Room
Speakers: Ron Titus, Hays County Master Gardener – Native Plant Society of Texas & Dr. Larry Sunn, Consultant, RainBees
Hosts: Salwa Khan, Mothering Earth – salwakhan@vcyes.com & Mary O’Hara, Hays Co. Master Naturalist.
In this workshop, we’ll take you through the steps for converting a turf-based yard to a native plant haven. You’ll hear from speakers on improving your soil, on setting up a simple rain barrel to collect water, and about native plants that will thrive in your garden. You will be able to create your multi-year plan to transform your yard, over time, with help from local experts on soil, water and native plants. You can kick-start your haven with resources we provide, including plant giveaways.
When you register, download & fill out the questionnaire, which is designed to help you and our experts to customize their advice for your circumstances. Bring the completed form, your yard map and a notebook to the event.

FACE-TO-FACE WITH AREA AUTHORS
RUTH STITT
First Wednesday of the month @ 5:30 p.m. – Wimberley Community Room
No session in July – Next session: August 5
Organized & moderated by DuAnne Redus & Debbie Howard
Light snacks served – Wine provided by Vino Sherpa
For our August program, we’ll be talking with Ruth Stitt … counselor, minister, musician, and author whose writing explores faith, resilience, and finding wisdom in everyday life. A licensed professional counselor with more than 30 years of experience, she has long encouraged readers through thoughtful nonfiction
In her most recent work, she turned to historical fiction to tell a true family story from the Holocaust. Drawing on letters exchanged between her American grandmother and three Jewish cousins in Berlin from 1938 to 1942, the book chronicles their desperate attempts to escape Nazi Germany and her grandmother’s efforts to save them. Ruth hopes this powerful story will inspire conversations about confronting hatred and standing up to injustice in our own time.
