Maintaining Your Natives

You’ve planted native plants — now what? While Texas natives are famously hardy and low-maintenance, they do have their own set of rules. If you’re used to traditional garden plants, caring for natives might feel a little different — but once you learn the basics, it’s easier (and more rewarding) than you think!

Join Deedy Wright for an informative workshop that will give you the tools and confidence to care for your native landscape year-round. Whether you’ve just started your native plant journey or you’ve got an established garden in need of some TLC, this session will help you understand what your plants really need — and what they don’t.
