President’s Projects 2018/19 By Ann Korenek
We support NGC and SCR “Plant America” theme and TGC’s “Plant America, Sowing Seeds the
Texas Way”. We will con�nue Federa�on’s project of working with The Katy Prairie Conserv-
ancy “Grow out Program”. This project is a two- fold project in the respect of growing wild
prairie seeds which support NGC, SCR and TGC projects, and my theme “B.E.E. Environmen-
tally Empowered “ by helping to restore the Katy Prairie.
We all have heard about the Three R’s rela�ng to the
environment. They are Reduce, Re-Use and Recycle.
HFGC will focus on “Reduce” an addi�onal environ-
ment task this year. Several clubs already car pool to
Federa�on mee�ngs and with other clubs focusing on
ride sharing we can increase membership a:endance
while “Reducing”. Take turns driving, or pay for gas if
you are catching a ride. There are members who can-
not drive and would like to come to a Federa�on
mee�ng. Sign up at Federa�on mee�ngs to let us
know which clubs are “Reducing” by carpooling.
The benefits of “Reducing” are:
Prevents pollu�on caused by reducing the need to harvest new raw materials
Save energy and money
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change
Helps sustain the environment for future genera�ons
Reduces the amount of waste recycled or sent to landfills and incinerators
Allows products to be used to their fullest extent

Spiders – An Uneasy Alliance
September 2018
By Jonni Almoney
Recently while doing online research on beneficial insects, I stumbled on the fact that there are close to one thousand
species of spiders in Texas, and that spiders eat more insects than do all the beneficial insects combined. Spiders are
not my favorite cri:ers, even though I am aware of their importance to the ecology of a healthy garden, and I have
dodged wri�ng about them because even looking at a picture of a spider gives me a crawly feeling in my stomach. We
have all heard of black widow and brown recluse spiders, both of which can kill a suscep�ble human, but most spiders’
bites, while they may itch for a while, are not seriously harmful to humans. Houston is an almost perfect environment
for breeding spiders; our high humidity and summer heat guarantee good condi�ons for them and the insects they
feed on. As a consequence, there is a bewildering number of spider species right here.
Fortunately, I found an ar�cle that told of the three most commonly occurring species that we might expect to en-
counter in our back yards. Spiders can be classed either as hunters or web builders, and we have an abundance of
both. The hun�ng spiders we usually see are wolf spiders and jumping spiders and the web builders that we see most
o�en are orb weavers.
Possibly the most common spider in Texas is the wolf spider, a handsome, hairy, deep
brown or black creature with ver�cal white stripes on its back. They are ground dwellers
who don’t build large webs to trap insects, but rather rely on their speed to ambush and
chase down their prey. When he does catch a bug, the wolf spider crushes it with his jaws,
and he will eat anything he can catch. One reference said that wolf spiders are “typically
not aggressive but will even bite mul�ple �mes if provoked, hence the name Wolf Spider”.
Wolf spiders can be rather large, with a body about three-quarters of an inch long and legs
longer than that. Female wolf spiders can be iden�fied because they carry their eggs be-
neath their bellies, and o�en a�er the eggs hatch, mama spider will have baby spiders rid-
ing around on her back.
Wolf spiders are nocturnal hunters and their eyes reflect the light, so if you are in your yard with a flashlight, you might
catch the gleam of spider eyes, maybe lots of them. In an ar�cle that may keep me indoors a�er dark permanently, I
read that an average backyard can have anywhere from hundreds to even thousands of wolf spiders.
Jumping spiders are hunters as well, but they are more likely to parachute down a single
filament of web to catch an insect in mid-air and then haul it back up to the leaf they
jumped from. They are stocky, smaller spiders, generally staying under one third inch
long, and they are mostly dark with white markings. While wolf spiders hunt at night,
jumpers prefer day�me hun�ng. Looking into the face of a jumping spider can be un-
se:ling, because they have four eyes all lined up across their faces. They can jump much
more than their body length, an ability that helps them ambush prey and to escape
from danger.
The most peculiar looking spider found in Houston has got to be
the spiny orb weaver. There are many sizes and shapes of orb weaving spiders, but the one in
the picture is the most common one in my garden. He looks like a strange type of spiny crab or
maybe an alien of some kind. These spiders are harmless, but they persist in building large webs
across where I want to walk or work in the garden. All orb weaving spiders create the classic
round flat webs that are the iconic web shape one thinks of when spiders come to mind. The
reason spiders can walk on their webs and not get stuck is that some of the guy wires aren’t
s�cky and so are safe to navigate. An unsuspec�ng insect flying through doesn’t know the secret
15
passages and usually gets snagged, and when the struggling bug makes the web shake, the spider feels it and knows to
rush over and completely swaddle the poor thing in web strands, saving it to eat later or feed her children.
Spiders will forever make most of us uneasy, but they are in the garden whether we like it or not. An abundance of
spiders in the garden is unfortunately a good sign; they show that the ecology in your li:le patch of the natural world
is balanced, and that everything is working together as it should…even the spiders. The best way to deal with spiders is
probably to respect them, ignore them, and welcome their help in managing the insect popula�on.
Pictures of the jumping spider and orb weaver came from www.bugsinthenews.com, and the wolf spider picture was found in a
blog named texassurvivaltraining.blogspot.com. Informa�on used in this column was from those places as well as www.ehow.com.I
found all three of them when I typed in “common garden spiders, Texas.”

HFGC -The PoinseJa Project
Every year Houston Federa�on of Garden Clubs
par�cipates and contributes in the PoinseTa
Project with the help of financial contribu�ons
from clubs, affiliates and individual members.
PoinseTas are delivered to approved nursing
homes and hospitals.
The PoinseTa Project is of wide spread benefit
to our community while affec�ng a large num-
ber of benefactors:
• The poinseTas are grown by ci�zens of
Brookwood, a facility which provides an ed-
uca�onal environment that creates mean-
ingful jobs for adults with disabili�es.
• With your dona�ons, Federa�on purchases the poinseTas from Brookwood.
• By purchasing the PoinseTas from the Brookwood Community, Federa�on benefits the community in
two very important ways. It supports the Brookwood community and benefits shut-ins, pa�ents in hospi-
tals and nursing homes, etc.
• A�er the Holiday Gala in December, the poinseTas are delivered by clubs and/or club members to nurs-
ing homes and hospitals thereby bringing cheer to those communi�es.
First op�on- PoinseTas may be purchased by individuals for personal use. Sarah Bentley will be accep�ng
checks for your orders at the October mee�ng.
Second Op�on- Star�ng at the October Federa�on mee�ng, clubs may sign-up with Sarah Bentley, PoinseTa
chair, to request poinseTas that clubs and/or members wish to deliver to nursing homes and hospitals.
Clubs and Affiliates must provide names of facility, address, phone numbers and number of poinseTas for
which they would like to donate and deliver poinseTas. The Federa�on board will review request and clubs/
members will be no�fied of the approval.
PoinseTas will be distributed at the December Gala to clubs and/or members for delivery to approved facili-
�es as well to individual members who purchased poinseTas.
We encourage you to be generous with your club and individual dona�ons to this amazing project. Federa-
�on has ordered 100 poinseTas from Brookwood for 2018.
All financial dona�ons to The PoinseTas Project may be directed to Sarah Bentley, PoinseTa Chair,
5905 Jason St. Houston, TX. 77074- 7741.
Thank you for your support and dona�ons.

Tradi�onally, members of the Friendship Garden Club in Katy exchanged Christ-
mas ornaments at the December luncheon. At the summer board mee�ng, the
President asked, “Why do we exchange ornaments when many of you have
themed trees?” At first board members had to think about the ques�on. A�er a
moment someone asked, “What would we do instead?” It was suggested that
members bring gardening books to be donated to elementary libraries, since
many were impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
Members loved the idea and began looking for books. When the December
mee�ng arrived, a wide selec�on of garden related books was displayed. Some
were pop-up books; others had masterful art work; and some had poignant
stories to tell about their selec�on.
The books were donated to Ray and Jamie Wolman Elementary school by mem-
bers. The Principal, Librarian and children were thrilled to receive the books.
