Do you want to start a vegetable garden?

This presentation outlines the first steps to take in order to set up your garden for success. Learn about basic garden needs as well as what to grow, where to place your garden, and where to get more information.

Presented by Stephanie Smith of the Dallas County Master Gardeners. 

Presenter Information:

Stephanie’s father always had a garden and when she was seven, she pestered him into letting her “help” plant the onions in the garden. Planting piqued her interest, and she has been gardening ever since! Stephanie is particularly interested in vegetables, fruit, berries, nuts and herbs. Originally a master gardener in Hunt County beginning in 2001, Stephanie moved to Dallas County in late 2017 and affiliated with the Dallas County Master Gardeners.

She speaks on preparing a vegetable garden from the ground up, native pollinators, African violets, integrated pest management, replacing trees and shrubs with native plants, and composting.
