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.

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.

The gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)
We were super excited to encounter this critter in the front yard a few nights ago. I grew up in Texas and don’t think I’ve ever seen one before. It’s a gray fox (aka Urocyon cinereoargenteus).
The Essential Elements
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.
