About this Event
What’s better than a fresh bowl of salsa?
A bowl of salsa grown entirely in your own backyard!
Join BE Wild at the Wildflower Church Community Garden for a workshop dedicated to the ultimate Texas summer staple: The Salsa Garden.
We’re breaking down how to grow the "Big Four"—Peppers, Tomatoes, Onions, and Tomatillos—specifically for our Central Texas climate. This isn't just about planting; it’s about the Permaculture of Flavor.
What we’ll cover:
- Texas-Friendly Varieties: The specific heat-tolerant peppers and "set-it-and-forget-it" tomatillos that love our Austin sun.
- Succession Planting: How to time your onions and tomatoes so they’re ready for the same harvest bowl.
- The Salsa Ecosystem: Companion planting tips to keep pests away from your peppers using native wildflowers.
- The Great Salsa Swap: We’ll be sharing and comparing our favorite salsa recipes—bring your best "secret ingredient" to discuss!
What to bring:
Water, sun protection, your favorite salsa recipe to share, and your gardening gloves if you want to get hands-on in the community beds.
Let’s grow! Let’s build a wilder Austin, one garden at a time.
