Summary

The Travis County Master Gardeners’ Association, in cooperation with the Travis County Extension Center, will present the 2009 Garden Tour, Inside Austin Gardens, on Saturday, October 24, from 9 am – 4 pm.

We have a fabulous theme this year - all our gardens are Certified Wildlife Habitats, which means these gardens have food, water, cover, and places to raise young. These Central Austin gardens all have interesting frontyard gardens that attract hummingbirds and butterflies for the whole neighborhood to see and enjoy. Stay tuned for more details on the tour. To learn more about Backyard Wildlife Habitat, go to www.keepaustinwild or nwf.org.

As Master Gardeners, our mission is to render sound horticultural information to the community through our programs. We charge a nominal fee to help cover our costs, but the real purpose of our tour is to provide you, the home gardener, with practices that can easily be translated to your garden.
