Fun night at the ballpark! JC Master Gardeners had a booth at Harvest Fest before the game. We gave away seeds to help people get a start on their fall gardens. We also passed on some fall flowers to 2 lucky door prize winners. Then it was off to watch the Railroaders! Hoping for another win tonight.

Clean up is no fun in a heatwave in Texas. This morning we met at Lillian Elementary to help 2 teachers get the evasive Sunflowers removed from their beds. (Kids were hiding behind the sunflowers during recess. 😂) There is still work to be done to repair beds before the Jr. Master Gardeners begin again in September. Wishing the teachers at Lillian Elementary a wonderful school year!

A day at the museums for Johnson County Master Gardeners! We toured Bass Hall focusing on the art of the local artists Stuart and Scott Gentling. They painted the 89-foot dome ceiling inside the main auditorium, featuring a breathtaking Texas "Painted Sky" design. Our own Master Gardener, Nancy Scoggin, who is also a docent at Bass Hall, arranged this wonderful tour. Then we visited the Amon Carter museum for a private curated tour of the art of the Gentling brothers. We were most interested in the brothers paintings of native Texas birds painted in Texas native plants.
