Gardening enthusiasts and supporters of Keep Pearland Beautiful (KPB) gathered for the 12th Annual Plant Thyme Fall Luncheon Friday (Oct. 9) at the Pearland First United Methodist Church Family Life Center.

Gardening expert Chris Wiesinger, dubbed “The Bulb Hunter” in an article that appeared in the New York Times, served as guest speaker.

Wiesenger shared stories of his adventures hunting bulbs in remote locations in Texas and beyond and offered gardening tips. He told guests he began collecting bulbs and propagating them on his farm in Mineola as a senior in Texas A&M’s horticulture program, where he earned the nickname “flower” among his fellow cadets.

He’s the co-author of two books (“The Bulb Hunter” and “Heirloom Bulbs”) and his expertise has earned him national recognition through articles in The New York Times, House and Garden Magazine, Southern Living and The Wall Street journal. Wiesinger is also the owner of The Southern Bulb Company where he now distributes his bulbs to nurseries and home gardeners online at www.southernbulbs.com

The luncheon also featured a silent auction, a raffle drawing and a native and adaptive plant sale. All proceeds from the luncheon are used to support KPB environmental initiatives and programs. For more information about KPB, visit www.keeppearlandbeautiful.org

Dennis Gassen and Officer Robert Little. The third place team consisted of Terrie Doyle, Patsy Skinner, Connie Dando and Tim Conner.

The award for Ladies’ Longest Drive went to Rhonda Swonke, and the Men’s Longest Drive winner was Randy Sawyer. Patsy Skinner won the Ladies’ Closest-to-the-Pin, and the Men’s Closest-to-the-Pin award went to Johnny Garza.
