Gardening in Central Texas – Videos

How to Sample and Test Your Soil

Central Texas Gardening Issues

The following video gives an overview of gardening issues you might be facing if you live and garden in Central Texas. Mary Lew Quesinberry is a Bell County Master Gardener! In this video, she and her husband David tell the story of how their garden came to life. How they worked with the environment and planted plants that thrive and do well in Central Texas soil and weather. They went with nature and the environment rather than against it. Today, they have an amazing garden in Central Texas!
