WELCOME TO THE BOTANICAL TEXAN!
Howdy Y'all!
Hi, I’m Michelle! I’m a licensed Landscape Architect by day, plant enthusiast pretty much all the time, and bad pun enthusiast whether anyone asked for them or not. I’m also a proud graduate of the greatest university, Texas A&M, where I studied Landscape Architecture & Horticulture!
The Botanical Texan is my little corner of cyberspace for exploring the greener side of Texas and beyond. Here you’ll find garden guides, native plants, botanical adventures, travel, landscape architecture, and plenty of encouragement to stop and figure out what that flower is on the side of the trail.
Whether you’re here to grow a better garden, discover somewhere new, or just nerd out about plants with me, I’m glad you found your way here.
