On this week’s show, Denise, John and Jan offer tips on native plant selection with FloraFest guest speaker Kevin Floyd. With the desert climate seen within our city, we will discuss ways on caring for your plants and on how they will give you back benefits to your garden as well, such as allocating space, amount of sunlight, differences of soils, plant grouping, mature sizes of trees, etc. Denise will also provide more updates and information on the El Paso County Master Gardeners programs that will be available for anyone to attend.
The El Paso Master Gardeners program was the first program to start within the state of Texas in 1981 by John White. Primary reasons for people to join the program is the love of gardening and the search for knowledge. Certified Master Gardeners can continue to volunteer with others who share their interest, gain continual horticultural training and give back to the community.
