Lunch-N-Learn Series Continues January 14

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, “All About Bulbs,” is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14 and the guest speaker is Master Gardener Randy Albers. Like most plants, bulbs appreciate welldrained soil rich in organic matter. Growing bulbs in Central Texas, or anywhere in the south, can be challenging. Most traditional bulbs require a winter chill period. Wide fluctuations in spring weather also impact bloom quality.

Registration begins at 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. All Master Gardener Lunch-N-Learn programs are free to the public and you are encouraged to bring your own lunch and drink. Light refreshments are available by Master Gardener hospitality hosts.
