Presentations begin at 9:15 a.m. and run until 3:00 p.m. Topics include planting for the North Texas climate, composting, ponds, aquaponics gardening and propagation techniques.
Dozens of booths will provide educational information and shopping opportunities. The event will feature a silent auction, and refreshments will be available from members of the 4-H Club.
