Valued visitors,

Gardening in Austin takes a little getting used to, if you are unfamiliar with our climate and soil. By using native plants you will have much more fun and success! Lady Bird Johnson once said, "I like it when the land speaks its own language in its own regional accent."

Here are some links to get to know the natives, and you'll have a much easier time!
