In preparation for the March Mart at Mercer Arboretum & Botanic Gardens, a Kingwood couple spends hundreds of hours a year making sure plants are correctly identified with botanical and common names as well as optimum growing conditions.

A committee of Humble Independent School District parents has formed to advocate for gifted students, hoping to improve communication within the district and educate decision-makers about the needs of such pupils.

A public meeting will be held to discuss options for the Atascocita Golf Course and if the homeowners association should impose a $360 annual fee increase to help purchase the property. The meeting will be held on March 22 at 7 p.m. at the Pine Forest Elementary School cafeteria.

Due to spring break, the Kingwood Area Republican Women will meet one week later, Wednesday, March 24, at 11 a.m. at Kingwood Country Club.
