Urban Plants and Resilient Gardens, a lecture and workshop by Falon Mihalic, PLA. Houston has a biologically diverse set of native plant life (5,000 species in Texas) and is within the growing range of many worldwide subtropical plants. Recent weather impacts have shifted the palette of landscape plants to those that withstand flood, drought, freeze, and extreme heat. Learn about the newly developed plant palettes and planting strategies for our changing climate.

The program is in conjunction with our current exhibition, Verdant Laboratory, on view through August 22 at the Center.  This event has the option of bringing your own lunch or order lunch in advance at registration.
