Beating the Odds: Successful Gardening in Houston at Rice Continuing Studies March 6, 2007

The Gulf Coast presents many challenges to Houston’s gardeners – gumbo soil, irregular growing seasons, floods, droughts, intense heat, and limited growing space. Sometimes it seems miraculous that anything grows here. Offered in partnership with the Hermann Park Conservancy, this course brings together experts from diverse backgrounds to motivate and teach participants sensible techniques for creating productive and interesting gardens designed to thrive in Houston’s difficult climate.

Eight Tuesdays, March 6-May 1. All classes will be held at locations in Hermann Park. For more information, registration, and fees, see the Rice GSCS website.
