About this Event

Join BE Wild at the BE Community Gardens @ Treehouse Park for a workshop dedicated to the ultimate Texas summer staple: The Salsa Garden Wildflower Combo!

We’re breaking down how to grow Peppers & Tomatoes—specifically for our Central Texas climate. This isn't just about planting; it’s about the Permaculture of Flavor.

What we’ll cover:

• Texas-Friendly Varieties: The specific heat-tolerant peppers and "set-it-and-forget-it" plants that love our Austin sun.
• Crops Need Bees! Adding pollinators to increase production.
• The Salsa Ecosystem: Companion planting tips to keep pests away from your peppers using native wildflowers.

What to bring:

Water, sun protection, your favorite tomato recipe to share, and your gardening gloves if you want to get hands-on in the BE Community garden beds.

Let’s grow together! Let’s build a wilder Austin, one garden at a time.
