Our Current Issue
March 2026
Spring has sprung! This month we dive into getting ready for another growing season. Part II of our 3-part series on roses from Denton’s AgriLife Extension Horticultural Agent, Erin Smith, will help you choose varieties that grow well in North Texas. Our Plant of the Month is the Texas-tough Abelia – a great landscape addition that thrives here despite our hot summers and cold winters. Veggie lovers can read about growing tomatillos, and Creature Corner will help with everyone’s gardening nemesis – the thrips. Don’t forget to check out all of our upcoming events (we have many this spring!) and happy gardening!
