Speaker - Kerry Gray-Harrison
Subject - Healthy Habitat: The Hidden Plants and Insects at Texas Discovery Gardens
The grasses, trees, forbs, and shrubs at the Texas Discovery Gardens, a seven-acre garden in Dallas’ Fair Park, are managed with ecology in mind. This habitat supports a great diversity of beetles, bugs, and botanical growth. Join us to learn more about these “critters” and the plants they need to survive.
Kerry Gray-Harrison was the Horticulture Director at Texas Discovery Gardens. Located in Dallas’ historic Fair Park, Texas Discovery Gardens is a year-round urban oasis maintained with environmentally-friendly methods and filled with natural discoveries. She holds a master of landscape architecture from the University of Texas at Arlington, a master of science in botany from the University of Maine at Orono, and enjoys propagating native Texas plants.
