Another great educational event is coming our way. Did you know that Denton County Master Gardeners are dedicated to educating the public on all things horticultural? It’s true, and here is one of our finest events that does just that. Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 19th and invite your friends and neighbors to share in this learning adventure.

The “Fall Into Gardening” event at Global Spheres Center in Corinth will be a blast! Don’t miss it! Hosted by the Denton County Master Gardener Association, Beulah Acres, and Upper Trinity Regional Water District, this event is your one-stop for gardening.

Dig into a world of gardening knowledge on the Learning Lane from 8 to 11 a.m., featuring:

  • The Hydrology Stream Trailer hosted by Upper Trinity Regional Water District.
  • Exciting demonstrations on drip irrigation, plant propagation, and worm farming.
  • Tips on tree care, growing succulents, cacti, herbs, and vegetables.
  • Native plant growing insights from the Native Plant Society of Texas.
  • The “Ask a Master Gardener” booth, where Denton County Master Gardeners will answer all your burning gardening questions.

See beautiful gardens in action on morning guided tours of the stunning Israel Prayer Garden, Potager Garden, Community Garden, and Agroforest. It’s the perfect way to get inspired.

Cultivate your gardening knowledge with fantastic keynote presentations beginning at 11 a.m.! CBS Texas Meteorologist Jeff Ray will present “Changing Weather, Changing Gardens.” Toni Moorehead, Tarrant County Master Gardener and owner of Signature Gardens, will present “Blooms & Beyond: Year-Long Color for Your Garden.”
