We have partnered with the Fort Bend Master Gardeners to supply residents with all of the resources they could need for a well managed lawn!
Instructors will be using HOA landscaping guidelines and list of approved plants to teach the series.
$50 per household gets you admission to the entire series (6 classes) as well as several handouts, books, and resources needed for the course!
We are making Dropins available this year for $15 per household per session.
Presentation will be 60 minutes long with Q&A time afterwards.
Class will be on the second Tuesday of each month, but there is no class taking place in July.
