“Winter Work� is the theme of this free Seasonal Seminar Series. Learn how
to put the equivalent of a winter coat on plants. Discover plants that
bloom or add color to the landscape during the colder months. The Travis County
Master Gardeners, the volunteer arm of Texas A & M Extension Service,
presents this educational event.
DIY…do it yourself. Learn how to build your own hobby greenhouse! A step by
step guideline tells you what to buy and how to assemble. Plants that
cannot tolerate freezing temperatures can be moved into this warmer environment.

Leaves, leaves everywhere! Don’t rake, bag and send it to the landfill.
Learn how to convert leaves and other material into plant food. It is called
compost. Plants adore it. Learn how to make this magic act happen.
Some like it hot, some like it cold! Learn about plants that bloom in
winter or offer colorful foliage that adds excitement to this dull time of the
year.
Gain an overview of what needs to be done to prepare your landscaping to the
stresses of winter. “Preparing for winter� will give you confidence and
the knowledge necessary for plant survival during the few winter months.
The seminar is free. No reservations taken. For more information call
512-854-9600 and ask for the Master Gardeners desk.
