Meet Alicia Moscoso
Alicia Moscoso grew up in a small town in central Illinois. As a child she loved exploring the woods, swimming in the river, and camping every summer with her family in the western US states. In 2013, when she and her husband acquired a few acres of land near College Station, she became curious about the prairie plants growing on the property as well as the animals and insects that lived there. She installed iNaturalist on her phone, joined the Native Plant Society of Texas, and began to read and attend classes and workshops to learn all she could about the local ecosystem. Through participating in the Coastal Prairie Conservancy’s “Great Grow Out,” she discovered the delight of putting a seed in soil and nurturing the new plant as it sprouts and grows. Her yard now contains many native plants, and she loves collecting seeds and growing natives to give away to other gardeners each spring. In fact, someone who has observed this phenomenon has nicknamed her, “The Plant Pusher!”
