Texas Superstar® Plants Lunch & Learn
 
Gardening in south Texas is challenging!  The extremes of heat, cold and drought make it even more difficult which is why Texas Superstar® plants, tested and selected for superior performance by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service, are a proven, reliable, and low-maintenance option worth considering in your landscape.
 
A lunch and learn program about Texas Superstar® plants is going to be offered and hosted by the Gonzales Master Gardeners on Thursday, May 22, from noon to 1:00 p.m.  Several local master gardeners will provide information on the Texas Superstar® program, how plants are selected, as well as identification of the 90 plus plants that hold the program designation.  The program will be held at the Master Gardeners’ building, PACE: Plantatarium A Center for Exploration, located at 623 N. Fair Street, Gonzales.
 
This event is free and open to the public.  The Gonzales Master Gardeners will provide light refreshments so bring your lunch and join them for this very informative program.  For more information, call 830-672-8531 or go to www.gonzalesmastergardeners.org.
 

If you've been seeing a lot more turtles on the road it's because it is migration season. They are looking for suitable nesting sites or places to forage. Please be on the lookout for them crossing the roads and try to avoid hitting them. If you must move one off the road do it in as straight a line as possible in the direction they were heading.
The Gonzales Master Gardeners are people who love gardening and want to learn more about horticulture.  Master Gardeners enjoy sharing their plant knowledge with others and promoting the love of gardening. 

What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture.  In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through the Texas AgriLife Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to the community.
