DRIPPING MONDAY: THE WEEK AHEAD

Want to go wild this spring? On Thursday, the library hosts "Wild Spring: Fall Planting" presented by Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Docent Carol Journeay. Curious about what to do and what to plant in the fall to get things off to a good start in the spring? Are there wildflowers that will do well no matter how much or how little cold weather or rain we get this winter and spring? Is now a good time to plant? How early in the spring can we plant? And what, pray tell, should we plant? Find out at this library chat! Starts at 5:30PM at the Dripping Springs Community Libray (501 Sportsplex).

Also on Thursday, you can Zumba Under the Stars at the Springs YMCA from 6:00PM - 8:00PM.
