NATIVE PLANTS FREE

The Edwards Aquifer Authority’s free Drive-Thru Plant Pick-Up highlights community engagement and environmental stewardship, fostering sustain able practices across our region.

The EAA has planned extensive measures to ensure smooth traffic flow and an enjoyable experience. Additionally, the event will be promoted through social media, print, and digital ads, alongside features in this publication, our Recharge Zone podcast, and local media outlets.

Native plants are essential for our local ecosystems’ health and diversity. This event educates the community on native species and conservation efforts.

1,000 suited for shaded areas and 1,000 for sunny spots. Each vehicle will receive two Texas native plants and a swag bag filled with gardening tips and promotional items, all at no cost.

Sponsored by H-E-B, this free, drive-through event offers the community a chance to enhance their gardens with native plants while promoting sustainable practices.
