Garden Myths and Internet Lore

Garden Myths & Internet Lore
Saturday September 21st 9:30-11:30
Location: Houston Museum of Natural Science

The internet is a wonderful place to learn about gardening. It is also a place where myths and misinformation can spread like wildfire. Some of these myths are rooted in good information but, just like the old game of Telephone, it can end up twisted as it moves from poster to poster over the years. Some of them are harmless but are a waste of time and money. Others are outright harmful and can damage the gardens of the well-intentioned innocents that pick them up as fact because they come from a "garden expert". This class will address the myths we encounter most often. We will also share the best practice that replaces these myths.
