Q&A: Learn how to maintain a healthy garden in Central Texas

Holly Wilson, an organic gardening instructor and Native Plant Society of Texas teacher with 40 years of experience, shares advice for maintaining a healthy garden in Central Texas. Wilson recommends planting in the fall, from mid-October through the end of November, to allow plants to establish deeper root systems that tolerate drought.

To maintain a healthy and sustainable garden, Wilson advises:

  • Considering a plant's mature size, soil, water, sun and shade requirements before purchasing.
  • Using integrated pest management and avoiding chemical pesticides.
  • Making compost and vermicompost to provide nutrients and fertilizer.
  • Mixing compost into the soil before planting, or gently mixing it around the plant afterward to avoid disturbing the root system.
  • Using native plants, which support the environment better than non-native or exotic plants.
  • Utilizing the Native Plant Society of Texas website database for gardening resources.
