 BACK TO BASICS ECO-GARDENING
lecture this Sunday, 2 p.m. Presented by Denise Delaney, from Austin's
Grow Green program. Learn how to handle weeds, water, fertilizer, and
insects, to create a natural, well-balanced lawn and garden. Free.
(Bring water and a chair.) 

DALE REMPERT'S PHOTO LECTURE last Sunday was a success
despite the rain. After he had shown us some of the magnificent pics
he'd taken at the nursery earlier in the week (lots of close-ups and artsy
angles), we all headed out to the greenhouses, to put our new skills into
practice. See below for some images created by gifted photographer
Bernard Ortiz. Visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/boldpuppy/ to see
more of his work. Thank you, Dale for a great workshop, and thank
you Bernard, for sharing your amazing images.
