Welcome to Season 3 of the popular Go Gardening video series. It is a project that is being produced by the Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District and Gardening Volunteers of South Texas. Go Gardening is also made possible through our co-title sponsor Edwards Aquifer Authority and San Antonio River Authority.​

To close out Season Three of the Go Gardening Show, the team made a trip to Herff Farm in Boerne. There we discovered an educational facility that really has done things right. They are community oriented and love teaching people about Texas native plants, vegetable gardening, pollinators and conserving water. This is a wonderful facility where kids and adults alike can learn more about nature's beauty and uniqueness. Don't miss this segment. It was definitely a fun segment to shoot and produce.

 

Stop two on our agenda was the Garden Safari in the Del Webb neighborhood on the city's far westside.  There we saw a spectacular water feature that took up nearly an entire back yard. The owners had also decorated with the right types of potted plants, native plants, solar lights for the evening and a nice-sized koi pond. Then we headed over to visit with a neighbor who has taken all types of gardening classes and has the "show room" type landscape to prove it. There's a great mixture of raised beds, in-ground plantings, hardscape and a water fountain all perfectly placed to create a back yard respite.

 

Now is the time to make plans for next spring to take out some of that water-guzzling turf grass and replace with colorful, water-saving native plants. You’ll be glad you did!

 

Go Gardening's mission is to help people conserve water in the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers by teaching homeowners how to convert turfgrass areas to low-to-no water use landscapes featuring native plants.
