      The meeting on February 14, 2012 starting at 6:30 PM at the Bastrop Public Library, 1100 Church Street, Bastrop.  The program is: “Good Bugs/Bad Bugs in the Garden” by Joe Posern.  Dr. Posern calls himself a "mostly retired Veterinarian of 36 years."   He was a Harris County Master Gardener and avid vegetable gardener for 30 years in the southeast Houston area before moving to Austin in the fall of 2007.  He transferred his membership to the Travis County Master Gardener Association and soon found his large backyard and ponds recruited for the 2011 Inside Austin Gardens Tour.  In addition to years of experience gardening, composting, and using drip irrigation, Joe has also completed the additional training required to become a
    Master Gardener Specialist in Entomology and Vegetable Gardening.


    Come, enjoy, and bring a
    friend.
