Monthly Garden Club Events

Join us for our monthly garden club events. We encourage local garden club members and any gardening enthusiast (with or without experience) to join us for these educational, hands-on opportunities facilitated by local experts who can help you transform your yard using native and adaptive plants. Benefits include a beautiful yard that reduces your water usage, is lower maintenance than traditional turf, and supports local wildlife (think: pollinators) and ecosystems.

No RSVP required. Dress casual! We may use the on-site LMUD Demonstration Garden. Free seeds to bring home can be accessed from the on-site Lake Travis Seed Library.

Vermicomposting

Presenter: Leah Finn, Master Gardener
This presentation will discuss how worms are beneficial to you, your garden, and our planet. We will dive into all aspects of vermiculture including how to make a worm bin, how to maintain your bin, what to feed your worms, how to harvest the castings and finally how to use them in your garden.

Fri., December 11, 2pm

Seed Sorting and Hot Cocoa Party!

Hosted by: Leah Crenwelge, Founder of LMUD Seed Library
As many of you know, we have a FREE seed library at our admin office, but it takes many hands to sort these seeds into small packets. Let’s enjoy each other’s company with a cup of hot cocoa as we sort and pack a variety of seeds, from vegetables and herbs to native plants and flowers. This is a hands-on event, suitable for all ages and experience levels.
