'First Tuesday' Meeting Scheduled This Week
The Smith County Master Gardeners' monthly "First Tuesday In The Garden'' lecture series is scheduled for noon Tuesday in the IDEA Garden at the Tyler Rose Garden complex, spokesperson Jana Bowman said.
This month's topic is "Stretch Your Gardening Dollars, Get More Color for the Money." Master Gardener Anne Pattullo will share information on perennials and reseeding annuals for East Texas landscapes. Many of these plants can be seen growing in the garden. This program is free, open to the public, and about an hour. The IDEA Garden is located in the southeast corner of the Rose Garden with parking available outside of the southeast gate.
The "First Tuesday in the Garden" programs will continue monthly through the middle of the summer. The April 1 program will be "Growing Azaleas in East Texas" followed by "Butterfly Gardens" on May 6 and "Texas Superstars" on June 3. The series will resume in September.
Master Gardeners, a volunteer organization of Texas AgriLife Extension, are people from all walks of life who enjoy and are dedicated to teaching others about gardening, plant diseases and pests.
