Learn about gardening with Texas native plants during an informational session presented by a Harris County Master Gardener. Plants that are native to a landscape range from trees to groundcover. They include shrubs, perennials, annuals, and water plants that will thrive in their native habitat. These plants can be used as hedges, specimen plants, or border plants. The formal landscaping of a traditional garden can be obtained using native plants. Join us on Thursday, September 24, at 2 PM.
