The Rio Grande Valley's best planting season is just around the corner, so it's a great time of year to start preparing for your fall gardening season. That's where our August Gardening Workshop series comes in handy! This series of workshops will teach you how grow your own plants, prepare your garden beds, and how to garden entirely in containers if you're tight on space. All these workshops are led by one of our native gardening practitioners, each with years of experience growing plants here in the Rio Grande Valley. These workshops have limited space, so online registration is required.

Tonight is another opportunity to join us for Flashlight Nights, with the tour starting at 8:30 PM. We do require registration for Flashlight Nights - you can purchase admission at: http://events.ticketleap.com/events/" target="_blank">events.ticketleap.com/events/quintamazatlan. Last week, guests were treated to two large Lepidopterans - a Malachite butterfly and several Black Witch moths - along with seeing a newly emerged cicada drying its wings! Malachite butterflies are gorgeous, with a combination of green and black, and are mostly found to our south, from Mexico into South America. They host on plants in the Acanthaceae family, which includes Ruellias! Black Witch moths are equally gorgeous, with intricate patterns of light and dark brown, along with iridescent patches that turn purple or blue in the right lighting. They are thought to be migratory, with movements north into the US between June - October - they've even been observed in Canada! They can also breed here in the RGV, where they host on plants in the Bean Family (Fabaceae).
