Science Saturdays are held the first weekend of every month and feature numerous events hosted by BRIT’s botanists. Botanists are on hand to answer questions and to identify those mysterious plants that grow in the backyards of Tarrant and Dallas counties that prompt homeowners to ask, “What the heck is this?”

There are many beautiful trees, wildflowers and grasses growing on the BRIT landscape. BRIT botanists and naturalists will share information about these plants and why they are here. To beat the heat, the program is held indoors and outdoors. Held the second Saturday of the month.

Gailon Hardin, Master Gardener and past president of the Native Plant Society of North Texas, will speak on native plants for your home landscape. She will offer advise on what plants to use in shade or sun suited to our north Texas climate. As water restrictions increase across our cities, plants selection for our landscape is critical. The speaker is followed by refreshments and announcements. Socialize with members after the meeting at Gingerman.
