The Comal Master Gardeners host a Spring Gardening Seminar each year for Master Gardeners as well as the public. It is usually held in the first half of March to avoid competing with the multitude of garden events held in Central Texas during March, April and May and to coincide with the Spring planting season.
A different garden/plant related theme is chosen each year, and four speakers are invited to present topics related to the main theme. In the past, seminar themes have included gardening in a drought, growing tomatoes, pollinators, heirlooms and Superstars, orchids and other monocots, and gardening in all four seasons. Some topics have included information on hummingbirds, monarch butterflies and insect pests, to name a few.
The registration fee includes the seminar talks, a seminar bag, morning and afternoon snacks, lunch and door prize drawings. Texas Master Gardeners will earn 6 CEs for attending the seminar. In addition to excellent speakers, the seminar provides time to shop at vendor booths featuring garden related products and plants.
Past attendees have included Texas Master Gardeners from around twenty surrounding counties and beyond. Many of the speakers are associated with organizations such as Texas A&M Horticulture Department, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, San Antonio Water System, Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Texas Forest Service to name a few.
The 2024 seminar is sold out and the waiting list is full. Please try again next year.
