On this week’s show, Denise, John and Jan offer tips on design and landscape choices for your desert gardens within El Paso. Either caring or adding a new addition to your garden, we want to give you advice on how to check the mature size of your new plants, native plant material, season or pollinating plants, local nurseries, using backyards for planting, outdoor lighting, gardening creativity and more. 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 first Texas Master Gardener class was held in 1979 in Montgomery County and the El Paso program was the first within the state of Texas in 1981. Today there are over 6,000 Texas Master Gardeners based in 112 counties. Texas Master Gardeners are united in name, but the program’s strength lies in its ability to meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves.
