An Evening with Neil Sperry

Texas horticulturist Neil Sperry is a household name in our backyard. Last spring, with the help of Calloway’s, we choose indigenous plants that returned strong this year, thanks to Neil’s Complete Guide to Texas Gardening. Like perennials, his book comes up again and again as a solid reference. Meet the man behind the book, and the gardener’s voice on KRLD (1080 AM) since May 1980, at the DMA on Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m. Join him for Green Landscaping–Facts and Fantasies–and the latest trends in Texas gardening. Call 214-922-1826. $15.
