Welcome to campus!

The Gulf Coast is sometimes called the Third Coast.  Whether you are an ornamental gardener, a vegetable gardener, a hobby orchardist, or have another specialty, this is an interesting, but challenging, place to garden.
 
On one hand, we can garden year-round if we choose and the majority of our weather is mild in comparison to our northern neighbors.  On the other hand, we have to contend with cycles of drought and deluge, a barrage of insects and diseases, and the triple threat of heat, humidity, and hurricanes!
 
The Garden Academy is a place for gardeners on the Gulf Coast to learn and to teach.  The credentials of our contributors vary widely, but what they have to share comes from the best institute of learning there is - years of experience and a passion for what they do.
 
You tell us what you want to learn
We have organized this site into classrooms.  Each classroom has a contributor (your teacher) and a main subject.  We will build this site to suit the specific needs of its' community of gardeners and homeowners.  We will take your questions and input, and add classes from our speaking & training archives as we see which subjects have the most interest.
