Bluebonnet Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn Series Begins January 9

The Bluebonnet Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn educational program is a series of nine informational meetings designed to provide gardening or general landscaping information for homeowners. Fayette County Master Gardeners plan and present a variety of programs from experts in the area and across the state. This series is designed with the homeowner in mind; bring your lunch and learn about a variety of topics that help you have a more productive garden, prettier flower beds, or how to better understand your landscape ecosystems.

The topic this month, “Seed Starting,” is scheduled on Tuesday, January 9 and the guest speaker is Doug Janda from Hostyn Hill Nursery. Growing plants from seed is a great way to start gardening earlier in the season. With the right light and some simple equipment, it’s easy to grow from seed to harvest. And Starting your own seeds may save money and allows you to grow varieties not available from the big box stores.

Registration is from 11:50 a.m. until 12:05 p.m. and the program lasts till 12:50 p.m.. The Lunch-N-Learn Series are held at the Fayette County Agricultural Building, 255 Svoboda Lane in La Grange.
