AAGC Talks and Walks in the Garden (TWiG): All You Need to Know About Growing Daylilies in Austin

Talks and Walks in the Garden or TWiG is an opportunity for gardeners to learn something new – then take a walk in the beautiful Zilker Botanical Garden and see that plant in a natural setting!

This workshop will tell you all you need to know about growing this simplest and most lovely garden flower – the Daylily. It is presented by two members of the Austin Daylily Society, Suzanne Adair and Velia Ruiz-Sanchez. Meet them in the Greene Room at 11 a.m. for an overview of the daylily – and tips on where and how to plant them (Clue – pastels like more sun, dark colors like shade, both can take our 100-degree weather!) Then walk with them to the Herb and Rose Garden where their club is putting in a new daylily bed.

They’ll have daylily plants to sell, so you can pick up a few and put what you learn into action and get your new plants right into your garden! Your first plant is free for attending this workshop which runs until 1:00 pm.
