Do you have a green thumb? Would you like to develop one?
Master Gardener C.A. Hiscock will stop in at the Audelia Road Library Monday to share tips and tricks on choosing the right container, plants and soil to grow beautiful flowers and flavorsome herbs and vegetables. Hiscock was named 2021 Speaker of the Year by the Dallas County Master Gardeners.
Born and raised in the Garden State of New Jersey, Hiscock grew up picking fruit and eating vegetables grown in her family’s garden. She wandered through fields and forests as a child and tended the family chickens and geese. Moving to Texas was a big adjustment, she says, with its black clay soil and oppressive heat.
Over the years, Hiscock has studied plants native to this region. Her container gardening program kicks off at 3 p.m. in the library’s west meeting room. The program is free and open to the public.
