Continuing the popular Saturday gardening seminar series, five new public seminars are scheduled from March to September in 2019. The presentations this year will feature a breadth of gardening topics, such as growing tomatoes, dealing with drought conditions, and Japanese garden design, that would be of interest to both new and experienced gardeners. The programs will once again be held from 10 AM to 12 PM at the Austin Area Garden Center in Zilker Botanical Garden.
Master Gardener Vegetable Specialist Patty Leander will kick-off this year’s seminar series on March 30, 2019, with a presentation on tomatoes. She will share her knowledge of how to overcome some common challenges that adversely affect tomatoes, such as common bugs and diseases. In addition, Patty will share harvesting tips and some of her favorite recipes for enjoying your tomato bounty. Austin newcomers and long-time residents will benefit from the seminar, whether you have a large backyard garden, participate in a community garden, or have a few potted tomatoes on your balcony.
The Austin Area Garden Center in Zilker Botanical Garden is located at 2220 Barton Springs Rd., Austin 78746. A park entrance fee is required. The fees are $2 per adult, $1 per child (ages 3-12) or seniors (age 62 & over), and $3 for non-Austin Residents. Cash or check accepted.
Attendance to the seminar is free. No registration is required.
