May Meeting

MAY MEETING: Holly Plotner
“Earth-Kind Roses”


Holly is a longtime Master Gardener and a member of the Travis County Master Gardeners Association. She is an accomplished gardener, plant propagator, Earth-Kind Rose Specialist and greenhouse grower/manager.

Earth-Kind is a special designation given to select rose cultivars by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service through the Earth-Kind landscaping program. It is based on the results of extensive research and field trials and is awarded only to those roses demonstrating superior pest tolerance, combined with outstanding landscape performance. Earth-Kind landscaping uses research-proven techniques to provide maximum garden and landscape enjoyment while preserving and protecting the environment. Come learn and enjoy Holly’s presentation on growing different varieties of roses while being supportive of our own garden ecosystems. More information on Earth-Kind Gardening is available at .

Plan to come hear this outstanding speaker. Mark your calendar now for Thursday, May 27 in the Austin Area Garden Center. Refreshments and fellowship begin at 7:00 pm followed by our meeting at 7:30. Our meetings are open to the public, and this would be a great one to bring your friends and neighbors.
