Speaker/Topic: June is always a special meeting for us where we enjoy some ice cream, mingle with our fellow gardeners, install our new officers, and this year, we'll be making t-shirts and exchanging hand-made, farmer's market inspired gifts.

As always, admission to the park and to our meeting is free and open to the public.
If you plant to attend, please RSVP so we'll know how many people to expect and can send you additional information. Date & Time: Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 1 - 3:30 p.m. CST. We hope you can join us!

It's time to get our spring gardens going! For the risk adverse, you might wait a week or so, but for the rest of us, we're getting started. Either way, there's always a chance of a late cold snap so just be ready to protect your warm season veggies if it dips below 45. Meanwhile, this is the time to remove any cool season plants past their prime (leave the anything you're still enjoying that's going strong), add a 1- or 2-inch layer of compost, and plant your favorite spring crops like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant from transplants, and cucumbers, squash.

Ice Cream Social, Farmers Market Exchange, TShirt Making Party
$0.00 - $5.00
Date: Sunday, June 14th, 2026 Time: 1:00-3:30 p.m. Location: Zilker Botanical Garden Auditorium Cost: Donations always welcome The Ice cream social is coming up on a June 14th from 1-3:30pm, this will be a farmers market inspired party where we'll exchange homemade gifts, eat ice cream, and make AOG Tshirts. Once we have a count of how many people will join us, we'll know how many gifts we'll each need to bring. We'll then pool all the gifts, and each person (or couple) will take home 1 gift from each of the other attendees. So, if we have 10 people, we'll each bring 10 items, and we'll then each take home 10 gifts. So for instance if 10 people sign up, it doesn't need to be complicated, some ideas are: 10 bags of granola, 10 mini breads, jars of pickles, bagged chai tea, 10 potted plants, 10 bulbs, seeds, salsa, kombucha, cookies, art, or other handmade or homegrown items.
