LA GRANGE — The Bluebonnet Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn educational program is a series of nine informational meetings designed to provide homeowners with gardening or general landscaping information. Fayette County Master Gardeners plan and present various 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 can help you have a more productive garden, prettier flower beds, or a better understanding of your landscape ecosystems.
This month’s topic, “Roses,” is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 11, and the guest speaker is Master Gardener Elizabeth Castro. Giving each rose enough space is important – checkthe label for the maximum height and width and provide no less than that. Roses vary widely in growth habit, bloom shape, color, and leaf size. Choose the right one for your space.
A rose is more likely to develop fungus if it is too crowded since the foliage cannot dry out quickly after rain or heavy dew.
Registration begins at 11:50 a.m., and the program lasts until 12:50 p.m. The Lunch-N-Learn Series is 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. You are encouraged to bring your lunch and drink. Light refreshments are available from Master Gardener hospitality hosts.
