Soil & Composting

Do you often find yourself online trying to figure out how to make your plants thrive? Do you envy your neighbor’s green thumb? Have you always wanted a home garden, but don’t know where to start? Our Gardening 101 series is for you!

Each month, we present a beginner’s class covering key things you need to know — from location and placement to plant selection and harvesting, and everything in between – to start keeping and caring for your own garden at home.

In our second installment of Gardening 101, a member of our horticulture team will present on choosing and maintaining soil and composting at home.

Non-member fee of $15 includes general admission to the Garden. Garden members can attend at no charge, per the general admission benefits of their membership level. ​

Houston Botanic Garden offers free parking for daytime events, which are held rain or shine.
