Monthly Garden Club: The Beauty and Ease of Growing Cowpen Daisies

Join us for our monthly garden club events. We encourage local garden club members and any gardening enthusiast (with or without experience) to join us for these educational, hands-on opportunities facilitated by local experts who can help you transform your yard using native and adaptive plants. Benefits include a beautiful yard that reduces your water usage, is lower maintenance than traditional turf, and supports local wildlife (think: pollinators) and ecosystems.

No RSVP required. Dress casual! We may use the on-site LMUD Pollinator Garden. Free seeds to bring home can be accessed from the on-site Lake Travis Seed Library.

The Beauty and Ease of Growing Cowpen Daisies
Presenter: Leah Crenwelge

Cowpen daisies (Verbesina encelioides) are native yellow-flowered annuals, also known as Golden Crownbeard. They are known for their cheerful, daisy-like blooms, drought tolerance and their ability to thrive in almost any soil. These plants are a great source of nectar for pollinators, particularly butterflies and bees, and are easy to grow. Join me to learn more about this wonderful native that deserves to be planted in every yard. Free plants will be available!
