Default Event Announcement: Using Native Plants in Your Garden

New Seminar Announcement from the Travis County Master Gardeners:



Going Native in the Garden

April 30, 2009

7-9pm

Zilker Botanical Garden



Having trouble picking the right plants for your Central Texas garden?
Attend our Going Native seminar and hear more about the beautiful native and
adapted plants that can grow well in Central Texas and still be earthwise
plant choices. Let us help you discover plants that are drought tolerant
and resistant to pests and diseases, yet offer the color and texture you
desire in your garden. These plants will allow you to build a breathtaking
garden while using plants that require less fertilizing, less watering, and
less chemical control. Going native is an experience everyone should have
in their garden!



This seminar is presented by the Travis County Master Gardeners Association,
a volunteer arm of the Texas AgriLife Extension Service in Travis County.

County Master Gardener's help desk at (512) 854-9600.
