The Bowie County Master Gardeners and Texas A&M-Texarkana’s Extended Education and Community Development Department have been hosting FREE monthly garden-related seminars for the public this year.
The Fall lineup has been announced and will be as follows. Classes are held from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM in Room 326 of the Texas A&M Texarkana University Building. No reservation is required to attend. A Q&A session will follow each presentation.
Monday, August 14 – Fall Garden Options. Spring gardening is probably the most popular type of gardening in the area, but with a little planning, Fall Gardening can be very rewarding. It may be hot when you plant the seeds but come harvest time there should be a hint of cool in the air. Get your plants in at the right time to harvest your crop before frost. Monday, September 11 – Fruits and Berries. Fall is a great time to consider adding some perennial food crops to your garden and landscape. You can start to plant containerized trees in the fall and continue planting bare-root trees into late winter. Learn about types of fruits/berries that perform reliably in our area and how to get them started growing.
