Go Gardening Show - Season 5 - Episode 3

Welcome to Season 5 of the Go Gardening Show!

​

You know the Go Gardening Show is all about Texas native plants and how they can save tons of water in your landscape. But, those same Texas natives also sustain wildlife like birds and butterflies. So this show is dedicated to giving you some great insights on plants to enhance your yard's ecosystem.

 

First, we took a trip out to Confluence Park where San Antonio River Authority’s (and Go Gardening’s) Lee Marlowe showed us her favorite bird attracting trees and plants. And since we’re in that time of year to update your landscape, you should check out this segment for great bird-attracting plant ideas from Lee. Next, we headed over to chat with Drake White at the Nectar Bar. Drake is an expert in butterflies and the plants that attract and nourish them. She highlights plants that all beginners and pros can plant in their yards to entice a host of butterflies in your corner of the world. Additionally, Drake informed us of which plants might look like natives but really are invasives. So, you’ll also learn what not to plant!

 

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.
