Texas summers can be tough — and recent years of record heat and drought have left many gardeners asking: How can I lower my garden’s water use? What plants can survive this climate? How do I prepare for the next dry spell?

Join Wildflower Center horticulturists Hannah Armstrong and Camille Lewis to explore answers to these questions and more. This class will focus on practical strategies and plant choices that will help your garden thrive, even in challenging conditions.

What You’ll Learn

  • Principles of xeric (low-water) gardening and how they connect to Texas natives
  • Which native plants are best known for their drought tolerance
  • How to care for plants so they are more resilient when drought conditions occur
  • Practical water conservation practices to lower garden water usage

Participants will leave with their questions answered and a solid plant list to guide their fall planting and beyond.

This class is open to adults of all ages. No prior experience is necessary. Space is limited and registration is required.
