As we head into the final stretch of summer, it’s time to start thinking about fall—arguably the best planting season for native plants in Texas. Fall’s cooler temperatures and seasonal rains give new plants their best chance to take root and bloom in time to welcome pollinators in spring.
Want to turn your outdoor space into a pollinator-friendly habitat, but don’t know where to start? There’s an app for that! Wild Thumb is the only native planting app made just for Texas. Available for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, download the free app today.
With Wild Thumb, you can create natural curb appeal that doubles as meaningful habitat for pollinators. Whether you want to add a few potted plants to your porch, create a new garden bed, or grow a whole pocket prairie, Wild Thumb helps you select the best native plants or seed mixes for your region based on your zip code.
And with Wild Thumb’s interactive design tool, you can drag and drop plants onto plots of all shapes and sizes to turn any space into a pollinator paradise. With step-by-step guidance, watering reminders and freeze alerts, and a directory of Texas nurseries that sell native plants, Wild Thumb takes the guesswork out of creating and maintaining a blooming, beneficial habitat to sustain pollinators.
