Master Gardener Plant Clinic Participating in Eco Fair

The Master Gardeners at the Wells Branch Eco Fair can answer questions on  the best plants for the Austin area, lawn care, fertilizers, pest management, worm composting, landscaping challenges, vegetable gardens, and native plants. Look for their table at the Wells Branch Shoreline Recreation Center, 3000 Shoreline Dr. Austin 78728, from 1 pm to 4 pm. They’ll be located on the “porch” next to the gym.

In addition to sharing their experience and training, several publications are on hand for you to review or take with you. You’ll find the Native and Adapted Landscape Plants Guide along with other timely Grow Green FAQ sheets. Grow Green is a joint program with the City of Austin Watershed Department and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. You can also pick up a copy of the Vegetable Garden Planting Guide and recommended Vegetable Varieties for Central Texas. Several more resources are available online. Please visit Our Favorite Gardening Resources for Austin and Travis County. Children can learn about gardening too and are invited to build a leaf crown to take home with them.
