Victoria County Master Gardener Marcia K has created this video on gardening with Fairy Gardens in the landscape or in containers. She includes many fun examples of how Fairy Gardens can be designed and enjoyed, including a whimsical creation at Victoria Educational Gardens. You can come out and see it for yourself at VEG at the Victoria Regional Airport.
He and his sons built the garden two years ago. You can see the amount of vegetables he has and his composting feature in the middle of the garden that feeds and waters the plants. Lindheimer's muhly is an extremely versatile grass with outstanding drought tolerance that makes an excellent native substitute for silvergrasses. This grass's size allows it to serve as a low-input substitute for small to medium size shrubs.

2021 Meet & Greet
Report
During 2020 and 2021 VCMGA has worked to keep in touch with gardeners in our county and the surrounding counties.
We have found ways to communicate with our members and the public and would like to improve on that and get back in touch with folks.
To do that we are having an event at Victoria Educational Gardens to welcome anyone who wants more information about the association.
We also invite anyone who may be interested in our new Master Gardener Certification Program to come out and see what we're all about.

History of Victoria County Master Gardeners
Report
Victoria County Master Gardener Association (See current members) began in 1997 under the leadership of the advisor AgriLife Extension Agent, Joe Janak.
Ed Gregurek is the lone member left from that class.
Dorothy Ploeger was named Emeritus and has since passed away.
Through the years we have taken photos (see class photos) during the orientation day for each class.
Each class went through 50 hours of training and then after 50 hours of volunteering as interns, they became Certified Master Gardeners after completing the internship.
