The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and Texas Master Gardeners of Williamson County will offer a “Walk and Talk in the Garden” on Oct. 29.
The event will be from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Williamson County Master Gardener Demonstration Gardens, 3151 S.E. Inner Loop, Georgetown. The gardens are to the right/north side of the Williamson County Road District Building.
The free event is part of the Master Gardeners’ Hands-On in the Garden program, held on the last Saturday of the month from March through October.
“This is a great opportunity to come out and see the Demonstration Gardens, ask questions and learn,” said Kate Whitney, AgriLife Extension horticulturist for Williamson County.
“We encourage the public to see what’s growing in the garden this fall and talk to our Master Gardeners who will lead the tours.”
She said attendees should dress for the outdoors and bring a lawn chair for their comfort.
Demonstration garden tour
The Demonstration Gardens are maintained by Texas Master Gardener volunteers. They often have trials going on that focus on plants that thrive in Texas and are most popular with home gardeners. The five areas of the garden that will be toured are:
- Vegetable.
- Backyard.
- Herb.
- Rose.
- Drought-Tolerant.
