Garden Spark: Tom Spencer talk
Tom Spencer presents The Tao of Texas Gardening: Finding Balance in a Changing Climate
Description: Gardening in Texas is tough enough, but throw climate change into the picture and things are likely to get downright ugly unless we adapt. In this talk Tom Spencer, host of KLRUs Central Texas Gardener television program, suggests a strategy for creating a beautiful garden that is sustainable (in multiple senses of the word) and welcoming. Inspired by ideas from ancient Eastern philosophy, Tom advocates for appropriate balance in our soils, plant palettes, and designs. This talk will help you find a new Way of gardening.
Includes: A 1-hour talk and Q&A with Tom; refreshments available after the talk
