Dang it's HOT: Cool Off with Shade Gardening

Gardening plants

NOTE: This event is available in person and online.

Does your landscape have problem areas where nothing seems to grow?

Do you have mature trees and areas where your turf is receding? Are your trees throwing shade? Don’t accept being shaded out! Take advantage of these cooler landscape areas that help conserve water! Learn about the many native and adapted plants that not only survive but thrive in shadier spots-- along with tips and tricks to create beautiful shade gardens that beat the Texas heat. We’ll also cover gardening under mature trees as well as turf alternatives and hardscape options for low-light areas.
