Native Plant Garden from Scratch in HOA: Kathleen Scott | Central Texas Gardener

“If we want butterflies and bees and hummingbirds and birds, we have to give them a place to breathe and a place to eat and a place to shelter,” Kathleen Scott told us when we headed to her New Braunfels garden in November 2022. An experienced gardener, Kathleen’s a Comal County Master Gardener and serves on the board of the New Braunfels Native Plant Society. Still, she started anew when she and husband Denny closed on their just-built house in November 2020. Their challenges: HOA lawn requirements of 75% front yard and 50% backyard. Deer live here, too, so Kathleen chose deer resistant plants in front. Her garden’s only a year old, but so beautifully illustrates planting for the future and all the creatures it nurtures already.
