San Antonio residents will have an opportunity to spruce up gardens and yards by receiving free native plants from the Edwards Aquifer Authority on Saturday.
The aquifer will host the free "Rooted in Texas" drive-thru plant pick-up with the H-E-B Tournament of Champions.
Residents can pick up two free native plants per person and a bag with EAA swag, while supplies last.
In a statement, the EAA added that the event is also open to residents of any community under the Edwards Aquifer Authority, including the counties of Uvalde, Medina, Texas, Comal, Hays, and Guadalupe.
The plants will be a random combination of one sun plant and one shade plant from several offerings, including Gregg's Misflower, Purple Coneflower, Lyre Leaf Sage, and more. Plant offerings are subject to change.
Native plants perform well during droughts and help strengthen the local environment.
Plants will be given away on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The free event begins at 9 a.m. at the Edwards Aquifer Authority headquarters of 900 E Quincy St.
