New Event Announcement: Central Texas Gardening 101 Seminar
 

Event Announcement from Travis County Master Gardeners Association:





Central Texas Gardening 101

Saturday, January 30, 2010

10am-noon



Zilker Botanical Garden

2220 Barton Springs Rd., Austin TX, 78746



Austin offers a unique mixture of weather, soil, and environment and the
rules of gardening here are likely different from other areas you might have
gardened before. This seminar is great for those establishing new roots in
our area and trying to figure out how to encourage their plants to do the
same or for those who need a refresher on the gardening basics of our area.




Join Daphne Richards, Horticulture Agent at the Texas Agrilife Extension
Service for Travis County, to cover what you need to know to be a successful
central Texas gardener. Included in the discussion will be our seasonal
growing calendar, how to work with challenging soils, maintenance schedules
for pruning and planting, tips on giving your plants the best start in your
garden, and more.



This seminar is free, open to the public and requires no reservations. It
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 http://www.tcmastergardeners.org or call the Travis County
Master Gardener's help desk at (512) 854-9600.
