HOUSTON Volunteers with Texas Cooperative Extension in Harris County will present a gardening workshop 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Feb. 27 in the Extension auditorium, 3033 Bear Creek Drive.
Members of Master Naturalists’ Gulf Coast chapter will present “Green Home and Garden Workshop.” The volunteers will give presentations that will include selecting low-cost plants, planning neighborhood beautification projects, identifying invasive plants and designing landscapes using plants that require less water to thrive, said Wayne Thompson, Extension agent for agriculture and natural resources in Harris County and the coordinator of the Master Naturalist program.
“The Master Naturalists have developed this program to help any homeowner make his home an oasis,” Thompson said. “However, they are also inviting housing developers, builders and boards of directors from homeowners associations . Many individuals in these groups are not only homeowners, but they also are responsible for planning and landscaping public areas in subdivisions, so the information will benefit many.”
The $20 registration fee will cover the program and lunch. For registration information, call Diana Todd, 281-855-5600. A registration form can be downloaded from the Harris County Extension agriculture and natural resources events calendar at http://harris-tx.tamu.edu/anr/events.htm .
