Enjoy the Gardens
Enjoy
strolling about our gardens planted with Texas natives and adaptives.
If you are new to Central Texas, you may be surprised by the number of
beautiful plants available to us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not
only do we have a wide variety of plants to enjoy, but we have an extremely
long gardening season...often March through November or longer! Pay particular
attention to the number of butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other
creatures that visit. Why are there so many critters? There are two primary
reasons
first we grow plants that attract the native animal species.
Secondly, we do not use any chemicals. We are very strict organic gardeners,
and we encourage you to be the same. A healthy environment is good for
every person and every creature. |

throughout Central Texas.
