Cacti aren’t the only native plants that thrive in our harsh local climate and soils. North Texas is home to thousands of beautiful native flowers, grasses, bushes and trees, all perfectly adapted to live with little to no care. Whether you want a traditional suburban yard or an extravagant butterfly garden, this class teaches about using native Texas plants and resource-conscious design principles to help you get the best yard on the block without too much effort.
