New Seminar Announcement from the Travis County Master Gardeners:





Gardening Above Ground

April 15, 2009

7-9pm

Zilker Botanical Garden



Love to garden but don't have the space or soil for the plants you love?
This free seminar will increase your knowledge of working with plants in
containers. It is an ideal learning experience for anyone wanting to know
more about growing flowers or vegetables on a patio, an apartment balcony or
in other locations. We will discuss what plants grow well in containers,
types of containers, soil, fertilizer and watering. In addition, we will
introduce you to using Grow Boxes, an easy to construct gardening container
made from a plastic storage box that allows for growing of vegetables or
flowers without weeding and only needing infrequent watering. A limited
amount of Grow Box kits will be offered for sale.



This seminar is free and open to the public. This seminar is presented by
the Travis County Master Gardeners Association, a volunteer arm of the Texas
AgriLife Extension Service in Travis County. For more details, see
