Gardening during drought without busting the water bill is the theme for March 16 Gardening Essentials.

San Antonio has been in meteorological drought for 7 years. The total rainfall during that time has totaled 6 years of our average rainfall and we’ve lived through the 2 hottest years recorded in local history.

How can we and our gardens survive and thrive? We will revisit some gardening basics through the lens of extreme water conservation with intent of surviving drought with two of our most familar friends of GVST and encore presenters, Robin Maymar and David Vaughan.

Robin Maymar, mathematician and long-time president of San Antonio Herb Society, will give us a no-fail strategy to get an herb garden well-rooted while conserving water with five basic herbs.

David Vaughan was among the group of Texans who first became certified as arborists by International Society of Arborists and then founded the Texas chapter of ISA. Vaughan was recognized by the chapter as “Arborist of the Year” in 2022. David Vaughan is committed to sharing information about soil health as it affects trees. He will discuss strategies for tree care during drought.

Guest speaker is Christopher Lintz on An Archeological Assessment of Cita Canyon Paleontological Site in Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

Following the Great Depression of 1929, the Panhandle-Plains Historical Society secured WPA funds to excavate 15 vertebrate fossil bone bed sites dating 10 to 2 million years ago under the direction of C. S. Johnston. Mr. Johnston submitted a 187-page manuscript for his Ph.D. dissertation, but he died before defending his work, and his study was never published.

The presentation briefly discusses the geology and late Cenozoic Epoch environment and animals of the Texas panhandle to provide context for the Cita Canyon site fieldwork. Emphasis then shifts to discussing Mr. Johnston’s remarkable career, his involvement in securing WPA funds for the paleontological and archeological projects in the panhandle, and the politics leading to his death at the age of 40. The field methods employed during the WPA dig at the Cita Canyon site are reconstructed from available WPA photographs.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Doors open at 12:30 p.m., brief member meeting begins at 1:00 p.m. followed by the presentation.
