Indian Plant Garden Tour with Reetu

Reetu Sharma is a member of the Indian Plant Gardeners in Austin and she will be sharing her backyard garden in our first virtual garden tour. When Reetu moved to her new home on Willow St. in East Austin, her father who was a horticulturist in Delhi, India, promised to visit and help her establish her garden. Due to his untimely death, he was never able to fill his promise in the physical world. Reetu feels the spirit of his green thumb every day when she tends to her garden and instills all the lessons she learned from him. Reetu practices many permaculture principles in her garden and combines the diversity of fruit trees, vegetables, herbs, and pollinators to create a thriving edible ecosystem. Reetu is shown above with her dog Copper who is a big helper in the garden in keeping the squirrels at bay.

June is also the month we have our ice cream social and since we are unable to meet in person, we will be breaking out into neighborhood groups in Zoom to share resources and socialize. Bring your own ice cream!
