Restoring the Prairie of Bachman Creek Greenbelt

Blackland Prairie Chapter of Native Prairies Association of Texas
August 16 @ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

Location: North Haven Gardens, 7700 Northaven Rd, Dallas, TX 75230

Join the Blackland Prairie Chapter of Native Prairies Association of Texas at their monthly chapter meeting featuring a presentation by Jeff Brown of Friends of Bachman Lake, giving an overview of the organization’s work.

Friends of Bachman Lake works to protect and restore green space around Bachman Lake Park in Northwest Dallas, including restoring the Bachman Greenbelt to a native Texas prairie and riparian ecosystem across more than 40 urban acres. Their focus on native plant restoration and urban prairie habitat makes their work a natural fit with NPAT’s mission, and a great topic for our chapter to hear more about.

The event is open to the public and intended for adults interested in native prairies, conservation, and volunteer engagement.

Garden Tip -

Have you ever walked outside on a hot afternoon and found your plants drooping?

Not all wilting is a sign that your plants need water. During the hottest part of the day, many plants lose moisture faster than they can replace it, causing temporary wilt. If they recover by evening or the next morning, they’re likely doing exactly what nature intended.

Before reaching for the hose:
💧 Check the soil moisture a few inches below the surface.
🌿 Watch to see if the plant perks back up after the heat of the day.
🚿 Water deeply when the soil is dry—not simply because it’s hot outside.

Learning the difference between temporary wilt and drought stress can help prevent overwatering and encourage healthier roots.
