About TNLA Organic Education
Organic Education was founded in 2007. Its board is made up of North Texas area regional leaders, educators and consultants within the horticulture and green industry communities who embrace organic principles.
Organic Education, founded in conjunction with The Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park in Dallas, was recently adopted and backed by the Texas Nursery & Landscape Association (TNLA) as an official TNLA Region IV sub-committee, and is now known as TNLA Organic Education.
TNLA Organic Education Mission:
Educate green industry professionals in the science of organic techniques to increase and spread the use of organics in our community.
Hi I just have a question for John Krause, Bob Webster, and Howard Garrett. What got you guys interested so much in the agriculture business and what do you use for your plants to keep them so weed free and growing so well? It seems like you all know what you are doing and I’d like to get some advice and possibly build a friendship with some leaders in the agriculture business.
