Ready, Set, Fall
Saturday, September 29
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Zilker Botanical Garden
2220 Barton Springs Road, Austin
The Free Seasonal Seminar Series continues with the theme “Ready, Set, Fall!”
Multiple topics pertinent to fall gardening activities are covered. The
Travis County Master Gardeners Association, a volunteer arm of the Texas A&M
Extension Service, and the Director of Horticulture at Lady Bird Johnson
Wildflower Center combine forces to create the fact filled, educational
experience.
In spite of the heat, it is time to be in the vegetable garden. “Fall
Vegetable Gardening” by Patty Leander will include the basics of vegetable
gardening with the emphasis on plants and varieties that flourish in the fall and
winter months.
Want a sea of blue bonnets and other wildflowers blooming next spring?
Andrea DeLong-Amaya from LBJ Wildflower Center is the expert on “When and How to
Plant Wildflowers”. Be trained in the steps necessary to improve germination
and growth of wildflowers.
“Fall Herb Gardening” by Toni Dzubay will incorporate herb care, fall
planting and herb drying.
Fertilize? Water? Take-all root rot? Get your questions answered during
the “Fall Lawn Care” discussion by Susan Decker. She will include all the
fall basics to ensure a healthy lawn.
A Plant Clinic will be held during the entire seminar. Bring your
diseased/bug eaten plant, roots and all, in a plastic bag. Gain knowledge from expert
Master Gardeners on action you can take to remedy the situation.
Seminar is free. No reservations taken. Austin City Parks Department
charges a $3.00 parking fee. For more information call 512-854-9600 and ask for
the Master Gardeners desk. _http://www.tcmastergardener.org/html/events.html_
