Lillian Elementary Junior Master Gardeners had a field trip today to
Ridglea Giving Garden in Ft. Worth. It grows local, nutrient-dense produce for the community. They use sustainable practices that take care of the land while being highly productive. They donate their produce to Westaid Food Pantry and LVT Rise Community Center weekly. Our Jr. Master Gardeners learned how a community garden works.

At our meeting Monday, one of our Master Gardeners gave us a presentation on Flower Pressing.

Monday night, representatives from Johnson County Master Gardeners, Rio Brazos Master Naturalists and Alvarado Garden Club attended the Alvarado City Council meeting. They presented Mayor Jacob Wheat the Monarch Waystation #55100 Certificate. They also gave a plaque for the garden to Anthony Tucker and the Parks and Rec Department to acknowledge their help and cooperation. The Monarch Waystation on Parkway was planted in May, 2025 in Parkway Park and is planted with milkweed and nectar plants for the benefit of butterflies and bees.

This morning, some of our MG’s worked at Guinn Garden in Cleburne, adding new plants and pulling weeds.
