SUMMARY:Drought to Deluge\, Creating the Resilient Central Texas Garden
DESCRIPTION:Austin Area Garden Center – Zilker Botanical Garden\n2220 Barton Springs Road\nAustin\, TX  \nGardening in Austin is Tough\, But Do-able\nGardening in Austin is tough. Texas meteorologist Isaac Monroe Cline reportedly said back in 1927 that “Texas is a land of perennial drought\, broken by the occasional devastating flood.” The extremes of temperature and moisture coupled with the diverse geology of the region means that conventional gardening advice often doesn’t apply. \nTravis County Master Gardeners Sheryl Williams and Kirk Walden will provide strategies on how to manage drought to deluge. You’ll learn how to cope with weather patterns and how to work with the soil and gardening site you have. Additional topics include hydrozones\, which are garden areas that have specific moisture requirements because of the plantings or natural factors\, irrigation best practices and suggestions for a maintenance calendar.  This seminar will include a short walking tour of Zilker Botanical Garden to discuss its geology and water. \nAbout the Speakers\nSheryl Williams grew up on a farm and holds a degree in Agricultural Education from Oregon State University.  She is a Compost Specialist and has experience with food production\, rainwater harvesting\, permiculture\, and growing native plants. Kirk Walden is a hands-on experiential gardener.  When he moved to Austin his home had virtually no landscaping\, mostly just limestone and cedars.  His determination to beautify it led to an avocation as a serious gardener. \nNo registration is required. Attendance to the seminars is free and open to the public. A park entrance fee is required. The Austin Area Garden Center in Zilker Botanical Garden is located at 2220 Barton Springs Rd.\, Austin 78746. \nPark entrance fee: Adults – Austin Resident $6.00\, Non-Austin Resident $8.00; Seniors (62+) – Austin Resident $5.00\, Non-Austin Resident $7.00; Youths (3-17)- Austin Resident $3.00\, Non-Austin Resident $4.00. Cash\, Credit card or check accepted.

SUMMARY:Selection\, Planting and Care of your Trees
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for tree planting season! There are many types of trees\, such as ornamental or fruit trees\, understory or large shade trees\, deciduous or evergreen trees\, that are native to Central Texas and will thrive here. Matching a tree’s characteristics and growing requirements with your personal preferences is the first step to successfully adding or replacing trees that will\nincrease the value of your property and bring you enjoyment for many years. \nPlease join Master Gardener Jerry Naiser at the free gardening seminar as he takes you through the steps of selecting\, planting and caring for your trees. \nPlanting the tree in the right season\, ideally between October and April here in Central Texas\, allows the tree’s roots to grow and get established before the heat of the summer is upon us. Jerry will highlight proper steps in planting that help reduce transplant shock and root\ndamage to the tree. \nProviding care immediately upon planting and regular preventive maintenance ensures the\ntree’s successful development and growth. Regular inspections\, pruning\, mulching\, and\nfertilizing will catch problems early and provide the environment for a tree’s long and healthy\nlifetime. \nNo registration is required. Attendance to the seminars is free and open to the public. A park entrance fee is required. The Austin Area Garden Center in Zilker Botanical Garden is located at 2220 Barton Springs Rd.\, Austin 78746. \nPark entrance fee is $2 per adult\, $1 per child (ages 3-12) or seniors (age 62 & over)\, and $3 for non-Austin Residents. Cash or check accepted.
