Presented by the Texas Garden Clubs, Incorporated & Texas Cooperative Extension

This is the third in the Landscape Design Study Course series which is offered in four separate schools, approximately six months apart, in the Bryan-College Station area. Participants may take the four courses in any sequence. Garden Club members, Master Gardeners, nurserymen and others who are interested in furthering their knowledge of landscape design are welcome to attend.

This year a very interesting Special Topic lecture, 'Decorating with Gourds,' will be presented by Mrs. Betty Kent of New Ulm, Texas.

The courses will be held at the Christ United Methodist Church, 4201 State Hwy 6, College Station, TX. Master Gardeners who complete a course may apply 12 hours of credit to their requirements for continuing education. Members of Texas garden clubs affiliated with Texas Garden Clubs, Inc. who successfully pass the examination for all four courses are eligible to become nationally accredited Landscape Design Consultants. Texas Certified Nursery Professionals who pass the course may apply this to their requirement for recertification with the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association (TNLA).
