We're thrilled to announce that we'll be hosting Cyrus Harp of paleoforaging as our keynote presenter at this year's Planta Nativa on October 8th! Harp is an excellent foraging instructor, ethnobiology researcher, and paleolithic technology expert. He shares in-depth information on how indigenous peoples used native plants in Texas, along with ways we can still use them today. Harp is also the author of "Native Food Plants of Texas: An Austin Forager’s Guide Based on Indigenous Knowledge", which will be available to purchase and get signed at the event. Planta Nativa also features a marketplace with native plant sales, seed giveaways, food & beverages, and educational outreach from community experts sharing their knowledge and work. This event is a great way to learn about native plants, buy some to take home to your garden, and connect with other plant enthusiasts in the relaxing atmosphere of Quinta Mazatlan after dark. Planta Nativa is held at Quinta Mazatlan on October 8th, 6:30 - 9:30 pm. The keynote presentation will start at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available online at: https://events.ticketleap.com/events/quintamazatlan. Parking is available at 600 Sunset Drive, McAllen, TX, with overflow parking at 804 Bales Road, McAllen, TX.
