Govalle Park will once again be the site of A Passion for Plants: An East Austin Garden Fair on the last weekend of Spring Break. The theme of our fourth annual fair is Gardening the Earth-Kind Way.
This FREE public gardening event will feature hands-on demonstrations of
- how to dig a garden bed,
- harvest rain water,
- grow fruits and vegetables organically,
- create wildlife food and shelter,
- start plants from cuttings and seeds,
- and how to cut back on chemicals that harm our environment and ourselves.
Come for the free advice from our on-site experts with answers to all of your gardening questions. Come for tips on living healthier and happier, and come for fun educational activities that will get your kids out in nature in your own back yard!
Visit our booths and get a free plant! Get ready for Spring with all the free information you need to start your own Earth-Kind garden, whether it’s one plant in a pot or a whole yard full, and then relax with a free massage!
Hosted by the Travis County Master Gardeners Association and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, the Sustainable Food Center, the Green Corn Project, and the Holistic Education and Health Network.
