Go Gardening Show - Season 4 - Episode 9

October and early November are prime planting months so the Go Gardening team set out to find an excellent example of preparing a garden for planting and then talked to a Texas native plant expert to get some insights on which plants are best for South Texas. First stop, the nearly 20-year-old River Road Community Garden. Larry Clark, a landscape architect in his own right, is the cofounder of the River Road Garden. He not only showed us around the garden but also explained how and why they created their plant beds, pathways and compost section. He even tossed in a fascinating history lesson on the garden's location. You'll love Larry's enthusiasm and expertise in gardening.

 

Next up, we headed over to The Nectar Bar's newest location to meet up with owner Drake White. Drake is a connoisseur of all things Texas native plants. She gave us the rundown on how to plan for planting, how to take out the turfgrass areas those shiny new plant beds will replace, how to establish your beautiful Texas native plants and then how to show 'em some love. Thanks Drake!

 

Fall is for planting! Let's get out there and garden with water-saving native plants!

 

Go Gardening's mission is to help people conserve water in the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers by teaching homeowners how to convert turfgrass areas to low-to-no water use landscapes featuring native plants.
