Tree Care

Houston Botanic Garden is hosting a Tree Care class on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 10 AM. It's a Gardening 101 session, so it's built for people who want the basics rather than a masterclass. The timing is intentional: it falls right around Texas Arbor Day, the state's annual celebration of trees, which makes it a good time to get your own sorted before the weather shifts.

The class is part of the garden's Horticulture & Gardening series, a program they've put together to give visitors the practical skills they need to protect and manage landscapes, design attractive gardens, and maintain healthy trees. The whole series keeps a steady emphasis on ecologically responsible garden care, so the advice you'll get is meant to work with the local environment rather than against it.

If you've got trees in your yard and aren't entirely sure how to look after them, this is exactly the kind of thing that helps. You'll walk away with a better sense of how to keep them healthy and what to watch for as the seasons change. It's a morning spent learning something you can actually use in your own backyard, and since it's a Gardening 101 class, you don't need any prior experience to get out of it.

The session runs on Saturday, October 31, starting at 10 AM at the Houston Botanic Garden.
