Happy New Year, Tietze Park friends and supporters! It's that time of year again. Time for our January annual meeting! All community members are invited to come hear an update from Friends of Tietze Park board members about where we've been and where we are going. We are also happy to welcome city representatives, again, who will update us on what is happening in our area and in our park. Our annual meeting is also a time to vote on individuals seeking new terms as Directors, with each paid supporter allowed a vote. Beyond all the "business," this is a great time to re-connect, meet new people and enjoy friendship with other neighbors that love our park. Lite bites will also be provided!

Tietze Talks:
As we roll into 2026, Friends of Tietze Park is excited to present our very first year of Tietze Talks! What are Tietze Talks? Tietze Talks are Saturday morning opportunities to learn about our natural world, as well as the ecosystem found in our park. We plan to have four Talks each year, two in the spring and two in the fall. All Talks will be family friendly, with fun kid activities and treats! Please save the date for our first two talks this spring, which will both take place in the pollinator garden:
Saturday, April 11th, 10:00-11:00a - "What's Popping?"
Learn about the early spring bloomers in our pollinator garden and other plants that are just popping up! Attendees will gain knowledge on planting easy annuals and perennials, for attracting pollinators, and receive a free seed packet for one of our favorite Tietze flowers. These seeds can be planted right away in April to enjoy blooms all summer long!
Saturday, May 16th, 10:00-11:00a - "All the Buzz"
Join us to learn about the exciting world of bees! We'll cover various different types of bees, found in our North Texas area, and also enjoy a presentation by Jon Schulz, with Blackland Bees, featuring LIVE honeybees! We'll end this fun event with a hunt through the garden to see how many different types of bees you can spot. All you need is a camera phone to participate in this timed race, and kids make great spotters! The winner will receive a special prize.
RSVP is NOT required for any Tietze Talks, but if you do plan to attend, consider letting us know so that we have an accurate account for supplies. Just click here
