The Latest Buzz
"Growing Together"
Now that our gardening hearts have survived a long summer of extreme heat and drought, members share successes, failures, and "wait and see" situations.
At last, the temperature dropped and the rains came...


Linda K's Japanese maple had its first bad year. The cherry laurel is in a "cross your fingers" state.


Despite the shade cloth, Rebecca's Japanese maple suffered but might still be alive. The pomegranate tree and the birdhouse gourd kept going with regular watering.

Kathy reports that the vines and coleus bring her joy! Because of summer travel, the Kokedama did not survive the watering lapse, the begonias are in doubt, and since a sprinkler zone was out all summer, the grass might not recover.

We had a wonderful turn out for the visit! Sandi had arranged for a tour and there was fascinating information given about their unique inventory of Asian plants, many of which are sold for culinary, medicinal and cultural purposes.
The inventory is huge and includes many plants not usually seen in big box stores, such as holy basil, pandant leaf, curry plant, black pepper vine, green tea, neem oil plant, betel, jelly grass, Tanenashi persimmon, and butterfly pea.
The variety of jasmine pictured is cold hardy to zone 8. It was a favorite.

Service Projects

The Flower Mound Garden Club has placed three bluebird houses around the Bridlewood Amenity Center. Two houses are located along Bridlewood Blvd and the other is located near the Amenity Center’s basketball court. The Club, in partnership with the Cavity Nester Conservancy Project, donated the houses to begin establishing a bluebird trail in Bridlewood.
Bluebirds build nests and raise broods in Texas from February through early August. Male bluebirds establish a three-to-four-acre territory around a nest box and attract a female with wing flutters and calls. The female approves the nesting site and builds the nest. Once the nest is complete the female will lay one egg per day. The clutch will typically be 3-6 eggs. These eggs are typically blue.
The Club asks residents/FMGC members to observe activity at the bluebird houses from a distance and to not disturb the nesting process.
