Raised Bed Gardening: Building and Maintaining

SATURDAY, MARCH 7th at 10 AM

Gardening in East Texas can be challenging. Some folks have too much sand, while others have heavy clay. If you’re one of the lucky few blessed with sandy loam, you still have to contend with the 46 inches of rain we receive each year. One solution to all these problems is raised bed gardening! It allows you to control the soil your plants grow in while providing excellent drainage.

At this clinic, you’ll learn the ins and outs of building and maintaining a raised bed from gardeners who have been using them for years!

Do carrots love tomatoes or do they prefer basil? Do squash, beans and corn do better when planted together? And why won’t anything grow under my black walnut tree?

If you’ve ever pondered these questions, join us for this clinic on the art and science of companion planting. We’ll discuss plants that play well with each other and which ones don’t. Learn how you can use plants to attract or repel different insects.
