LA GRANGE — The Bluebonnet Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn educational program is a series of nine meetings designed to provide gardening or general landscaping information for homeowners. This series is designed with the homeowner in mind.
This month’s topic, “Native Landscaping,” is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 12 and the guest speaker is Master Naturalist Carol Daniels. A native landscape provides more than just water- conserving features. Native landscapes provide habitats for wildlife and encourage the presence of native insects and microorganisms.
Establishing native plants in your garden orlandscape usually requires as much work as establishing non-native species. However, once native plants are established, you will see not only savings in time, energy and money, but also an aesthetic sense of place only regional native plants can provide.
Registration begins at 11:50 a.m. and the program lasts until 12:50 p.m. The progam is held at the Fayette County Agricultural Building at 255 Svoboda Ln. in La Grange. All Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn programs are free and everyone is encouraged to bring their own lunch and drink.
Light refreshments are available by Master Gardener hospitality hosts.
