On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise, Jan and John will talk with special guest Dr. Kevin Floyd, the botanical curator of UTEP’s Centennial Museum Chihuahuan Desert Gardens, who will share his expertise on how to make our backyard gardens inviting to native pollinators and migratory birds that settle in for the season, such as our beloved hummingbirds. In fact, Black-chinned hummingbirds are the first summer residents around the El Paso region. If you want to know about the perfect mix for your hummingbird feeders, proper maintenance of hummingbird feeders, and the life cycle of native birds, don’t miss this edition of Good to Grow, and stay tuned for the next episode!
The El Paso County Master Gardeners started in 1981 and has been growing with many volunteers and Master Gardeners ever since. The love of gardening and search for knowledge are primary reasons people join the program to become trained and certified Master Gardeners. 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.
