SCMGA at the Library – Saving the World with Homegrown Bouquets

By Jay White, editor of Texas Gardener. 90% of the cut flowers sold in the U.S. are now grown overseas. While beautiful, the international trade in cut flowers comes at a high cost to the environment and the people that grow them. Learn how to “save the world” by growing your own cut flowers or supporting the American producers that provide an environmentally responsible alternative to American consumers. Selected guests get to make their own homemade floral arrangements using techniques discussed in the lecture.
