Fall into Spring is a conservation festival focused on helping customers make landscape changes in the fall and winter so plants have time to get established and need less water to survive the heat in spring and summer.

This family friendly event will include education stations, a range of children’s activities and gift-giveaways. We hope to see you there!

Fly fisher Alice Owsley, owner of West Yellowstone, Montana-based Riverside Anglers, is the featured speaker at the fall 2019 meeting of Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited.

Organizers say they’ve moved the meeting and changed its time “during the best trout time on the river and (to) allow our members time to fish the Guad before or after the meeting.”

Saturday night is shaping up to be a great evening for astronomy. The forecast is for clear skies and thanks to the time change, the program starts at 6:30 p.m,

This week’s featured guests: Andromeda Galaxy (M31), Double Open Star Cluster in Perseus, Ursa Minor (Little Dipper), Hercules Globular Cluster M13, Pegasus Cluster M15, Planet Uranus, Spiral Galaxy M34, and the Triangulon Galaxy M33.

Gardening with Children with Mary Helen Phillips. From Tye Preston Memorial Library’s newsletter:

“Does your child think carrots grow in the grocery store? Here is how to teach children how our food is grown and to encourage healthy eating habits. Gardening with children is a fun interactive activity for families and children of all ages. Through gardening children learn a myriad of science and health lessons. Besides all the incredible educational benefits, it’s fun to dig in the dirt.

“Mary Helen Phillips Master Gardener, Junior Master Gardener specialist and vegetable specialist will present an overview of the school garden program in Comal and New Braunfels ISD.

“Parents and grandparents interested in gardening with children at home or starting a program in a school or home school program are encouraged to attend. Teachers and school administrators interested in starting a school garden program are also encouraged to attend. A variety of school garden curriculum and 4 H programs will be discussed.

“Resources including a variety of Growing Good Kids literature will be reviewed and tips on how to start a successful program. Resources will also be provided for vegetables to grow in a spring garden. Recipes from the garden that are simple and child friendly will be reviewed. This presentation will be geared to the specific questions and needs of the audience.
