🌱 The right native trees and shrubs on your property can be a haven for wildlife, prevent erosion, reduce the need for pesticides, while also improving the appearance and value of your land.

George O. White State Forest Nursery offers a variety of low-cost native tree and shrub seedlings for sale for reforestation, windbreaks, erosion control or wildlife food and cover. Seedling orders can be made online starting Sept. 1.

The Odessa Garden Club needs your help keeping Railroad Park blooming this summer!

We are looking for volunteers to sign up for one-week increments to water the plantings at Railroad Park. A hose is available at the park, so volunteers just need to provide a little time and care. Watering needs will depend on the weather, but during most weeks, the plants will need to be watered daily.
