VCMGA is partnering with Victoria Parks & Recreation Department to conduct joint programs called "Bringing Nature Home".  

A presentation will be held at 9 a.m. at the Victoria Community Center on Saturday, October 2, 2021.  Jason Alfaro, director of Victoria Parks & Recreation Department, will do the presentation on "Trees for the Victoria Area - What and How to Plant" and Mike Martignoni, Victoria County Master Gardener will present "Victoria Area Fall Vegetable Gardening." 

Come and join us and bring all your questions for a morning of vegetable gardening and tree  concerns.

We are looking forward to starting this new endeavor with Victoria Parks & Recreation Department.  It is a great opportunity for people to come and learn about trees, insects, and other topics concerning nature and gardening. 

VCMGA members have hosted thousands of students and adults during our  tours at Victoria Educational Gardens.  This gives us an opportunity to meet more folks in our city and county and our area.  You can look forward to interesting presentations and activities to learn more about "Bringing Nature Home."

This area in Riverside Park offers habitats for birds, insects, and other animals we often find in nature.  Providing a tree snag, such as the decomposing parts of the tree, provides insects for the Pileated Woodpecker.  A pair has been spotted in the park for years.  There are many things you can do to "Bring Nature Home."
