SACXS Monthly Meeting

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

7:00 PM 

at the San Antonio Garden Center

May Meeting Program: 
“Seed and Fruit Dispersal

in Aridland Plants”

By Michael Eason

VP of Conservation, San Antonio Botanical Garden

Mr. Eason will discuss the various mechanisms that plants use to disperse their seed and adaptations plants have evolved to ensure the survival of the next generation.

Michael Eason joined the San Antonio Botanical Garden in 2017 as the Center for Plant Conservation representative guiding the South Texas rare plant conservation efforts. In 2022 he moved to full time to continue to develop their rare plant conservation program and curate the living collections, focusing on native plants of Texas and northern Mexico. Michael brings over twenty years of experience as a conservation botanist, with extensive knowledge of the flora and ecology of the southwest region of the U.S. Previously, Michael worked for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, where he managed their conservation and field survey programs. Through his consulting business, Texas Flora, he designs and installs native plant gardens, as well as performs plant inventories, wetland delineations, and rare plant surveys on public and private lands. In 2018, he published Wildflowers of Texas and is currently working on several other book projects. Additionally, he has served on the State Executive Board for the Native Plant Society of Texas and is currently the State Botanist for the organization.
