For over half a century, the Rio Grande Valley Horticultural Society has gathered experts in Weslaco each January to exchange information among themselves, as well as to share their knowledge with those among the general public interested in gardening.
Folks can pick and choose to attend only the talks they're interested in.
All morning we'll have three concurrent session going on and people are free to roam from talk to talk. Plus, this year we'll be having an evening session that should be of special interest to home gardeners and Winter Texans. Several speakers will address each of the three concurrent morning sessions that include fruits, ornamentals and landscape, and vegetables. The evening session will have discussions on growing herbs locally, using native plants, and citrus care. Topics in the fruits section include threats to Texas citrus, comparisons of grapefruit shapes, and the health aspects of citrus.
