If the words narcissus, lycoris, crinum, gladiolous, iris and lily fill you will with nostalgia, then Jay’s fast paced and interactive lecture will remind you of what generations of Southern gardeners have known for centuries.  Nothing in the garden gives so much, while asking so little, as the charming and reliable native and naturalized bulbs that Southerners have treasured for centuries.  Enjoy a romp through history and be reminded of which spring and fall bulbs do best in our unpredictable climate.

Presented by Jay White, the owner and publisher of Texas Gardener magazine.  He is an avid gardener who grows vegetables, herbs, native and improved flowers, flowering shrubs, fruit trees and native hardwoods on his two acre Brenham property.  He is a huge supporter of local farmers who are growing ecologically responsible flowers for the cut flower market and the favorite things in his gardens are the heirloom and pass along plants that have been shared with him by the incredible gardeners he has been blessed to know.

Please note that the programs now begin at 6PM. This event is open to the public at no charge.
