Dazzled, Inspired, Charmed: CTG on the Go

gardener really , really compensate attention to weather . And if they ’re head out with a television camera — as CTG has been for weeks — you’re ready for weather that can transfer dramatically in just a few hour , if not minute or even seconds!We parry the rain ( sometimes with an umbrella over the camera ) on a magic misty morning with James Barela and Ray Delgadillo at their vernal prairie - meets - bungalow garden in Texas drought - tough style . Not so long ago , it was all lawn . With time , plants set about from seed , and creative vision , flurry of bee and butterfly thank them for their hard workplace and patience over dispute conditions since they put a shovel in . At another diminished step garden , local artisans , artists , architect and landscape designer united at theOctopus housewhere narrow , gentle flow and waterfalls catch on along a steep incline front and back . Then , we headed to a new branch one cool good morning when the sun was bright , but with jazz so bowelless that we snuggled close into our jackets . chop-chop , Tyaga Welch ’s hospitality and passion warm up us up . A permaculture designer asHumane Sustainable Earth , he turned a useful strip show between house and fence into a lively experience . Uniting aquaponics , wicking bed , and urine management berms and swale , he created a food forest for people , birds , and pollinators . A cloudless sky prevailed at Aditya Prasad and Mansi Prikh ’s very young garden , where just last decline they pulled out many of their first - try plants and seeded glorious annual and recurrent spring - through - fall blooming wildflowers . Clouds melted into sun at a Hill Country garden in a stewardship of native industrial plant restoration , adjust plant , and rainwater management ( including a 36,000 congius cistern).Dreamy cloud follow us to the fantastic land - regenerative garden stewarded by Shaman Jesus Garcia at the residential district initiativeHerbalActionProject . Children , teen , and adults ( including budding herbalists ) unite to kindle or rekindle wonderment with the dry land and its brute along with culinary , healing , and ethnic story . encounter him in person atAmerican Botanical Council ’s HerbDayson Saturday , May 6 . The result go bad from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. , with talks , plant gross sales , and garden term of enlistment . Jesus speaks at noon . Coming up May 18 on CTG online : surprise and experience in Jo Ann and Jeff Glanz ’s garden of many vignettes , and one of the gardens on theAustin Pond Society ’s Pond and Garden tour June 3 & 4.Taped last November on a very parky dawn , Jo Ann ’s garden absolutely sparkle along scent trail and artistically - designed destinations , a projection - in - progress for many old age after work .
