Advance registration is encouraged for the Sunday tree giveaway at City Hall, from 3 to 5pm. Neighbors can gather to learn, connect, and take home a free tree to plant (while supplies last). This family-friendly gathering invites residents to celebrate and enhance Woodcreek’s natural beauty. In addition to the giveaway, attendees can enjoy light refreshments, raffles, and a series of educational demonstrations focused on tree care and water conservation.
The Rain Bees will guide participants through the process of creating DIY rain barrels and wicking containers, while Harvest Rain will showcase larger rain collection systems designed for homes and businesses. For those looking to learn more about proper tree care, We Love Trees, Woodcreek’s community arborists, will present a start-to-finish tree trimming demonstration. Aqua Texas sponsors the event.
Guests can also take part in raffles for prizes, including rain barrels, gator bags, rain gauges, tree care kits, irrigation supplies, and more. Raffle tickets can be earned by attending the demos, and winners must be present to claim their prizes.
The day before, the Watershed Association is hosting a “show-and-tell” session on ways to maintain a beautiful outdoor space without constant watering. On Saturday, November 8, from 10:30am to 12:30pm, come to Triangle Park for Roots and Flows: Water-Wise Native Plant Gardens.
Explore an inspiring outdoor tour through the park’s native plant demonstration garden. Designed with earthworks that slow, spread, and sink rainfall, this garden showcases how native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers can provide lasting color, support pollinators, and enhance resilience with minimal irrigation.
Local experts Lin Weber, Hays County Master Naturalist, Salwa Khan, founder of the Mothering Earth podcast, and Zane Liston from the Watershed Association will be on hand to answer questions and share tips for cultivating native plant landscapes.
Come see how thoughtful planting and design can keep your yard vibrant. Together, these events highlight Woodcreek’s shared commitment to conserving water, nurturing nature, and keeping our community green for generations to come. We’ll see you there!
