Monthly Garden Club: The Basics of Landscaping with Native Plants

Join us for our monthly garden club events. We encourage local garden club members and any gardening enthusiast (with or without experience) to join us for these educational, hands-on opportunities facilitated by local experts who can help you transform your yard using native and adaptive plants. Benefits include a beautiful yard that reduces your water usage, is lower maintenance than traditional turf, and supports local wildlife (think: pollinators) and ecosystems.

No RSVP required. Dress casual! We may use the on-site LMUD Pollinator Garden. Free seeds to bring home can be accessed from the on-site Lake Travis Seed Library.
