Presentation on Soil Biology and Native Plants by Texas Discovery Garden's Randy Johnson.

Come learn about the "jungle" of living organisms, the ultimate recyclers

effect on the plants that you enjoy above the surface of the soil!
In addition, we will discuss the advantages of using Native and adapted
plant material.
