Go Gardening Season 3 Episode 9

Go Gardening Show Episode 9 brings you some great information about fall planting and covers one of those San Antonio "hidden gems" the show is always on the lookout for.
Stop one on this month's show is the Ruby City Art Center located in the heart of Southtown near downtown SA. The art center is privately owned but free and open to the public. They are located along the San Pedro Creek where the San Antonio River Authority and City of SA have been creating a beautiful green space over the past few years. We took a look at the Art Center's Sculpture Garden primarily because it features a whole host of native plants suitable for any home landscape in town. We also learned why they are changing out some of their hardscape to help their plants and trees grow better in the South Texas heat. This is a can't miss episode and you'll want to visit Ruby City after seeing our segment.
​Next, because fall is for planting, we headed out to Milberger's Nursery to check out the fall perennials and annuals to get some ideas on how to create beautiful color in a fall garden, and some ideas on how to get ready for next spring. While we were there, we visited the "back lot" where Milberger's grows its large trees. Most people don't even know about this service and so you'll be quite interested to see their huge selection of native trees and learn about how Milberger's can actually plant them for you.
​
Don't forget...FALL IS FOR PLANTING! So, make plans to take out some of that water-guzzling turf grass and replace with colorful, water-saving native plants.
Many thanks to our title sponsors Edwards Aquifer Authority and Trinity Glen Rose Groundwater Conservation District for helping bring Go Gardening to the Bexar County community. We also appreciate our ongoing support from the San Antonio River Authority.
