Master Gardener's Lunch-N-Learn on Butterfly Gardening
LA GRANGE — 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 information from local and statewide experts.
This series is designed with the professional 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, "Butterfly Gardening," is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept.
8, and the guest speaker will be John Williamson, master gardener.
Not only are butterflies beautiful and fascinating to watch, but they also pollinate some plants. A little foliage damage from their caterpillars is worth seeing them flitting around. Learn the best plants to attract many different butterflies. They need both nectar plants and larval hosts for egg-laying and for those caterpillars to munch on.
Make sure you are growing the right plants to attract your favorite butterflies.
Registration begins at 11:50 a.m. and the program lasts until 12:50 p.m. The Lunch-N-Learn Series is held at the Fayette County Agricultural Building, 255 Svoboda Ln. 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.
