The 2018 Dallas County Master Gardener Association Fall Garden Tour will be held on from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., October 13, featuring five residential gardens and one school garden. Each garden will showcase a specialty such as urban homesteading, ponds and pollinators, cottage and English styles, and completely organic and low-maintenance gardening. Experts will be speaking about water features, pollinators, turf, chickens and vegetable gardening along the route.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Dallas County Master Gardener events provide learning opportunities to county residents, including community service projects, school gardens, research, education and demonstration gardens.
