2026 Spring Forum

A Day of Practical Learning and Conversation for Central Texas Gardeners

The Spring Garden Forum is a one-day gathering for people who garden in Central Texas.  The forum brings together experienced, well-respected speakers to talk about the things we’re all dealing with here: weather extremes, soil health, native plants, and how gardens fit into the larger ecosystem around us. The focus is on practical ideas, shared experience, and thoughtful discussion, all rooted in our local conditions.

You’ll come away with new perspectives, useful takeaways you can apply at home, and a better understanding of how plants, wildlife, and soil interact.
What the Day Includes
  • Four speaker sessions focused on real-world Central Texas gardening challenges
  • Lunch included
  • Local vendors with gardening-related products and resources
  • Opportunities to meet speakers and purchase books
  • A relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere
This forum is intended for home gardeners, native plant enthusiasts, and anyone interested in creating a more resilient landscape in Central Texas.
