Wildflower Center @ MindSay

I got to spend the past few days at the LBJ Wildflower Center ( http://www.wildflower.org/ ) in Austin, Texas for a conference dealing with the situation of invasive exotic plants for the State of Texas. ( http://www.texasinvasives.org/conference/conference.html )  Our compant was one of the sponsers of the event, so I went to set up a display for the company and to attend the lectures, in order to stay on the cutting edge of information when it comes to dealing with invasive plants and meet more of the people that are involved in the cause.

There was a great turn out of people and it was quite a bit of fun.  I got the chance to see many old friends and to meet numerous interesting people.  All of which are involved in the fight to protect our natural hertiage in various ways.  And, as always, the Wildflower Center is a neat place to hang out.

If any one, except for an eco-freak, like me, is interested in more info, please check out the links that I posted above or just throw your question my way and we'll see if I can answer.

I had a really busy weekend.  This past weekend was the Fall Native Plant Sale at the Ladybird Johnson National Wildflower Center.  They always ask our company to set a large booth there to provide Wildflower seeds for their patrons.  We donate all  of the profits to the Wildflower Center so it works out as a nice fund raiser for them and a chance for us to talk face to face with alot of our customers and friends that are envolved in the Native Plant movement.  The weather on Friday was miserable, cold and rainy, but on Saturday and Sunday were beautiful days to spend outside.  Especially in a neat place like the Wildflower Center.  Here are some pictures that I took that will give you an idea of what the place is like.
