What this is all about
We’ve created this site to augment the video we created for the Native Plant Society of Texas Video Contest, 2021.
Here’s hoping we’ve inspired you to let your landscape go wild. Herein you’ll find resources to help you with that effort.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
– John Muir in Our National Parks, published in 1901

We’ll be building out these pages to provide information about the key elements involved in creating a wildscape. In the meantime, be sure to check out our links and reading list.
