SPRING SMART YARD WINNERS: Congratulations to Joe and Susan Henchal, who were recently named as the Rowlett Smart Yard Winners for Spring 2024. Joe and Susan started their habitat journey by reaching out to the Texas Discovery Garden and learning from their leaders. The Henchal's garden has evolved over the years from their eagerness to learn and passion for pollinators. Thank you for your outstanding efforts to build a pollinator-and-environmentally friendly garden! https://www.rowletttx.gov/1933/Rowlett-Smart-Yard
