Grown in Your Own Backyard Event

Get tips on community gardening and buying locally grown produce at an event called “Grown in Your Own Back Yard” on Sunday at Pearl Stables.

Texas Public Radio and the Green Spaces Alliances of South Texas have teamed up to stage the free event, which includes speakers, cooking demonstrations and exhibitions.

Organizers hope to build on the growing interest in local produce and farmers markets to get more backyard and community gardens going. The event will run from 1 to 4 p.m.
