About the program

Brian Triplett, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent for Bowie County will present the class.

Participants will learn practical tips for starting a garden, whether you want to grow vegetables, herbs or flowers in the ground, in raised beds or in containers. The discussion will also cover successfully starting seeds indoors to grow your own transplants. Growing your own transplants opens a wider variety of plants than typically available at local garden centers. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.

For more information, call the AgriLife Extension office for Bowie County at 903-628-6702 or email Jennifer Davis with Texas A&M-Texarkana at jdavis@tamut.edu.
