Go Gardening Show - Season 5 - Episode 1

Welcome to Season 5 of the Go Gardening Show!

​

To kick off the new year, the Go Gardening crew visited one of the latest landscape projects by the talented designer Luke Hoy. Luke is a huge supporter of homeowners reworking their landscapes using native plants to save water and create a yard that can more readily survive and thrive in the South Texas heat. But, he has a priority list for people to consider when changing out their landscapes, one of those priorities being the use of evergreen plants. Even in the dead of winter and after a couple of freezes, this landscape you will see in this segment looks really good. Check it out.

​

Next, we know that February and March are good times of the year for pruning trees and plants. But there are some critical techniques to use when doing so and some things to avoid to make sure your plants/trees grow properly in the spring. Lee Marlowe, a true Go Gardening friend, took us on a short tour of Confluence Park where she and Go Gardening host Mark Peterson actually did some pruning work on some small trees at the park. There is also a "bonus segment" for you to watch at the end of their pruning demonstration.

 

We're glad to be back for a great 2026 so let's get out there and garden, and save some water!

 

Go Gardening's mission is to help people conserve water in the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers by teaching homeowners how to convert turfgrass areas to low-to-no water use landscapes featuring native plants.
