Join the Travis County Master Gardeners Plant Clinic at Wheatsville Co-op

We’re excited to bring our plant clinic at Wheatsville‘s Second Annual Plant Sale and Sustainability Fair. We’ll be doing a Compost demonstration and discuss how it contributes to sustainable gardening. We’ve also got a selection of free vegetable and flower seeds available while supplies last.

The Master Gardeners on hand can answer questions on tree trimming, vegetable gardening, landscaping small spaces, butterfly gardening, the best plants for the Austin area, fertilizers, and pest management.

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.
