Earthkind Plants

​Earthkind plants are plants that have been field tested by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and found to be highly suitable to our temperamental Texas environment.  These are plants that can handle our hot, dry summers and require lower amounts of water, fertilizer and pesticides.  So they are kind to the Earth and to you as a gardener!  Wouldn’t you just love to have that lovely rose that never seems to get black spot?  That blooms constantly and doesn’t break the bank for fertilizers and sprays?  How about a nice shrub that thrives year after year?  Wouldn’t you like to be the best gardener on the block?  Well, remember that half the battle is in selecting plants that will do well where you live because unless you’re moving, there are just things that will do well here and others that won’t.  Get the best out of your garden with research based gardening from the good folks at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and check out Earthkind with this link:
