SUMMARY:Free Gardening Seminar - The Selection\, Planting and Care of your Trees
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Travis County Master Gardener Association –\nGet ready for tree planting season! There are many types of trees\, such as ornamental or fruit trees\, understory or large shade trees\, deciduous or evergreen trees\, that will thrive in Central Texas.

Planting the tree in the right season\, ideally between October and April here in Central Texas\, allows the tree’s roots to grow and get established before the heat of the summer is upon us. \nProviding care immediately upon planting and regular preventive maintenance ensures the tree’s successful development and growth. Regular inspections\, pruning\, mulching\, and fertilizing will catch problems early and provide the environment for a tree’s long and healthy\nlifetime. \nNo registration is required.  Attendance to the seminars is free and open to the public. A park entrance fee is required.\nThe Austin Area Garden Center in Zilker Botanical Garden is located at 2220 Barton Springs Rd.\, Austin 78746.  The fees are $2 per adult\, $1 per child (ages 3-12) or seniors (age 62 & over)\, and $3 for non-Austin Residents.
