LA GRANGE — The Bluebonnet Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn educational program is a series of nine informational meetings designed to provide gardening or general landscaping information for homeowners.
Fayette County Master Gardeners plan and present a variety of programs from experts in the area and across the state. This series is designed with the homeowner in mind; bring your lunch and learn about a variety of topics that help you have a more productive garden, prettier flower beds, or how to better understand your landscape ecosystems.
The topic this month, “Preparing for a Freeze,” is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 8 and the guest speaker is Master Gardener Debbie Hopper.
A landscape glistening under the light dusting of frost can seem like a fairytale image— in the depths of winter, that is. When you're not prepared for it, the sight of these frozen crystals can send shivers down any gardener's spine.
Frost is spring's favorite late-season trick and winter's early hello, creeping in to chill your plants down to their botanical bones.
Registration begins at 11:50 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. and the program lasts until 12:50 p.m.
The Lunch-N-Learn Series are held at the Fayette County Agricultural Building at 255 Svoboda Ln. in La Grange.
All Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn programs are free to the public and you are encouraged to bring your own lunch and drink. Light refreshments are available by Master Gardener hospitality hosts.
