Lampasas Plant Talks by Highland Lakes Master Gardeners Every 4th Tuesday starting in April: Noon to One PM
Currently, we are still planning on hosting “Plant Talks” at the Lampasas AgriLife Extension Office conference room starting on April 28. This may change; so, stay tuned! We have coordinated a great group of speakers for Master Gardeners and members of the community. Each talk will last one hour and is eligible for Master Gardener Advanced Training hours. This series of talks is free and is open to the public. The Lampasas AgriLife Extension office is located at 409 Pecan Street right on the Lampasas Town Square. A few of the talks will be “hands on” and participants can expect to take home projects they have created during the talk. Each month we will include a short description of the talk prior to the event. Keep in touch in case there are cancellations due to the current health crisis.
