Maintaining Your Natives

Caring for your Texas Native Plants

You’ve planted native plants — now what? 

Texas natives are famously hardy and low-maintenance, but 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, practical workshop designed to give you the tools and confidence to care for your native landscape year-round. Whether you’re just beginning your native plant journey or have an established garden in need of some TLC, this workshop will help you understand what your plants really need — and what they don’t.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and leave with practical knowledge you can put to work in your own landscape.
