SUMMARY:Free Class: Ant\, Bee\, And Wasp Social Structure... And Are Honeybees An Invasive Species?
DESCRIPTION:From the Natural Gardener –\nSaturday\, June 9th at 10am –  Les Crowder presents “Ant\, bee\, and wasp social structure” Are honeybees an invasive species? Do not miss this highly educational class on covering Ant\, Bee and Wasp behavior. There are solitary\, semi-social\, and completely social creatures and humans can learn about the role of competition and cooperation from watching these creatures live. Then we will explore whether honeybees from Europe\, Asia and Africa compete with hummingbirds and native pollinators. \nLes Crowder has been a passionate advocate of learning about and living with nature’s creatures rather than fighting nature. He observed insects as a child and has always been especially interested in social insects that communicate with each other and make decisions as a group. Les has worked in agriculture as a farm worker in conventional industry and as an organic farmer and beekeeper. He got a degree in Biology and Spanish from the University of New Mexico. Chelsea Green published his book\, “Top-Bar Beekeeping” in 2012. He often repeats that “The only way we are going to rise is if we all rise together!”

SUMMARY:Free Class: Growing Citrus in Central Texas
DESCRIPTION:From the Natural Gardener –\nTuesday\, June 12th at 10am – “Growing Citrus in Central Texas” with Neil Schmidt.   \nGrapefruits\, Kumquats\, Mandarins\, Oranges\, Lemons and Limes OH MY!  Cultures around the world have used many types of citrus in a wide variety of ways from food to medicine to insect repellant.  The fruit is unlike anything else and the flowers have an amazingly strong-sweet scent.  Citrus grow quickly and do very well in our heat! Central Texas is also cold enough in the winter that almost all citrus will need to be protected.  But luckily there are many varieties that can be grown effectively in pots which can be more easily moved and protected.  There are even a few varieties that can be grown in the ground. \nNeil Schmidt is the Education Coordinator and Information Specialist for the Natural Gardener as well as one of the staff horticulturist at the information desk.  He has a passion for all things citrus and will share this knowledge so you can be successful too!
