Heads up, Texas gardeners and native plant lovers!

A new bill (SB 1868) making its way through the Texas Legislature could make it illegal to possess several native and common garden plants—including Texas Mountain Laurel, morning glories, and datura—due to concerns over naturally occurring compounds. The bill allows for fines up to $25,000 per day for possession, even though many of these plants are staples in Texas landscapes and ecosystems.

Concerned? You're not alone. Native plant groups are urging lawmakers to clarify the bill's language to avoid unintentionally criminalizing cherished Texas flora.

Still such a fun program to be involved with!

As my mom would say "isn't this just "darlin'?!"
