Mark your calendars for the Saturday, September 8, to attend the free Fall Gardening Expo at the Tyler Rose Garden Center. Steven Chamblee and Keith Kridler are the featured speakers. Chamblee will provide, in his humorous and entertaining style, some of best, "Texas Tough" plants for our gardens. Kridler, an authority on antique bulbs, follows with a look at some of the best spring-blooming bulbs for landscaping. The Conference will be followed by the annual Heirloom Bulb Sale. This year, Master Gardeners have added some unusual plants into the mix. A raffle for many unique and desirable items will be held prior to and on the day of the Bulb Sale. Also new this year is a Photo Contest and Exhibit. A small cash prize is available to the winners, and the best in show will become the cover of the 2009 Northeast Texas Gardening Guide. For more details go to: "Coming Events" section of the Smith Co. Master Gardener web site or the "Programs" section of East Texas Gardening.
