Preparing for the 2026 Educational Season and Top Flower Picks for North Texas Gardens

In this podcast episode, I share exciting updates about our upcoming 2026 educational season and the new enrollment model that grants students access to all classes with a single registration. I also discuss the recent addition of an on-demand class, 'Step-by-Step Building a Garden from Scratch.'

The episode continues with a detailed review of my 'Best of 2025' series, focusing on the performance of various seeds and plants in North Texas. I cover a wide range of flowers, including Shirley Poppies, Sweet Peas, Cosmos, Rudbeckia, and Zinnias, providing insights and recommendations based on my extensive trials and tests.

Additionally, I offer valuable seed starting tips and emphasize the importance of indoor seed starting for successful gardening in North Texas. Lastly, I remind listeners to enroll in the upcoming indoor seed starting class and grab the planner to stay organized throughout the gardening season.
