Seeds of Resilience: Wicking Gardens and Seed Saving

Drought runs through our series for a reason. This session shows, step by step, how to build a wicking garden bed that sips water while growing healthy, vigorous plants—perfect for Hill Country conditions. After the live demo, we’ll explore seed saving: how it deepens your knowledge of native plants and stretches your garden budget. You’ll also learn how to use the Wimberley Village Library’s Seed Catalog—both to find region-adapted seeds and to contribute your own for neighbors to grow. Bring your questions and leave with plans you can plant.

Keynote speakers include:
Janet Bradford // Wimberley Garden Club
Kat Locke // President, Keep Wimberley Beautiful

The Watershed Association, in partnership with the Mothering Earth Podcast, Hays County, and the cities of Wimberley and Woodcreek, is excited to announce Water Wise—a new community education series designed to cultivate water resiliency here in the Hill Country.

Water conservation efforts are crucial in our community, yet many people remain unaware of the simple steps they can take to protect water in their daily lives. As we know all too well, Jacob’s Well has seen historic declines in flow, wells are running dry, and our aquifers are under increasing stress.

The realities are urgent, but they are also an invitation.
How can we cultivate abundance even in drought?

To help answer this question, Water Wise will bring together voices from across the region to spark dialogue, share practical solutions, and empower residents to become stewards of the land and water we all depend on.

The series will continue into 2026, offering workshops that inform, inspire, and equip our community with tangible ways to conserve our most precious resource—water.

Come as you are. Leave as a steward. Let’s fall in love with this land all over again—and show that even in drought, our landscapes can be places of beauty, resilience, and renewal.
