Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District will hold an Earth-Kind workshop aimed at promoting sustainable gardening practices to local residents on Friday, March 22 at the POSGCD office in Milano from 1 to 3 p.m.

The session will cover the core EarthKind principles, a program designed to encourage water conservation, reduce the use of chemicals and fertilizers and minimize waste. Attendees will learn about the importance of planning and design, plant diversity, soil health and innovative resource conservation strategies.

“We’re excited to offer this workshop as a way to share pratical, researchbacked strategies for water wise gardening,” said Gary Westbrook, General Manager of the District. “Our goal is to empower homeowners and gardening enthusiasts to make water-wise choices that lead to healthier gardens and landscapes.”

Participants will also have the opportunity to explore tools and resources such as the EarthKind Plant Selector, designed to assist in creating aesthetically pleasing yet sustainable and low-maintenance outdoor spaces.

The workshop is open to all, from seasoned gardeners to those just beginning their journey in sustainable landscaping. Through this event, POSGCD and Texas Water Resources Institute of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, aims to foster a community of environmentally aware individuals committed to adopting best practices for a greener, more sustainable future.
