Get that Pond Growing with “Slow” and “Fast” Native Wetland Species

Program for the December 2020 chapter meeting.

The Texas Gulf Coast is blessed with a great variety of freshwater wetland species. Whether you’ve been dreaming of creating a small backyard pond or you have a large landscape to restore, your success depends on knowing how the aquatic plants will grow and establish. Learn which native wetland species will spread quickly to help block exotic invasives, and which ones grow in more gradually, keeping a small footprint while adding diversity.

About the Speaker
Mary Carol founded Green Star Wetland Plant Farm in 2018 to meet a need for native aquatic species for all kinds of projects, from backyard raingardens to large acreage restorations. She previously worked as the stormwater wetland specialist for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service’s Texas Community Watershed Partners, as well as TCWP’s freshwater wetland restoration program, at landscape design and landscape architecture firms, and also in genetics research labs at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University. Mary Carol is a Houston native, raised on Galveston Bay. She has a BS in biology and an MA in architecture from the University of Houston and enjoys bringing both disciplines together to create wonderful natural settings.
