Hello Anderson Mill!
June has arrived, school is out, and summer is officially underway! It's time for pool days, family vacations, backyard barbecues, and making memories with friends and neighbors. Whether you're planning a road trip, spending afternoons at the Anderson Mill Pool, or simply enjoying longer days and warmer evenings, we hope your summer is off to a fantastic start. Be sure to check out the events, activities, and community news in this month's newsletter.
A special thank you to everyone who joined us for the Groove’s in the Grass Concert on May 17. It was wonderful to see so many neighbors gathered together to enjoy great music, visit with friends, and celebrate our community. Events like these are possible because of the support of our members, volunteers, sponsors, and attendees. We appreciate everyone who helped make the evening such a success and look forward to seeing you at future neighborhood events.
Save the Date! Make an Olla for Your Garden
📅 Sunday, June 29
🕓 4:00 PM
Looking for a simple way to keep your plants watered during the hot Texas summer? Join the Anderson Mill Gardening Club and learn how to make an olla, an ancient irrigation tool that slowly releases water directly to plant roots.
An olla is made from unglazed clay pots buried in the soil near your plants. Filled with water, it gradually seeps moisture into the surrounding soil exactly where plants need it most. Ollas help conserve water, reduce evaporation, and keep plants healthier between waterings.
They are especially useful for:
- Vegetable gardens and flower beds
- Newly planted shrubs and perennials
- Areas that sprinkler systems don't reach well
- Gardeners looking to reduce water use
We'll be making ollas that you can take home and use in your own garden. This is a fun, hands-on project and a great opportunity to learn more about water-wise gardening.
Want to see how ollas work? Watch this informative video from Central Texas Gardener and discover why so many Texas gardeners are adding them to their landscapes.
RSVP to Katina to reserve your spot.
We hope to see you there!

Grand Reopening of the Anderson Mill Pool
🏊The Anderson Mill Limited District celebrated the grand reopening of the Anderson Mill Pool with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and free community swim on May 30.
The pool is ready for a fun-filled summer season thanks in part to the generous support of Lowe’s. As part of its commitment to providing safe and accessible community spaces, Lowe’s Northwest Austin coordinated donations from four Austin-area stores, supplying tools, paint, materials, fixtures, and volunteer labor to help improve the facility.
Lowe's contributions saved the Anderson Mill Limited District more than $10,000 in project costs while helping enhance a valuable community amenity - thank you, we appreciate it!
Beginning May 25, the pool will operate under its summer schedule.
