Heart of Texas Genealogy Society meeting
Heart of Texas Genealogy Society will meet on March 5, 2020 at the Wimberley Village Library. We are excited to have Connie Gray doing the presentation “Ok, I have my DNA results but what does this mean and what do I do now?” Connie works daily with DNA results in her professional life so has extensive knowledge about DNA testing. She asks that those who have DNA results, bring them so she can help us individually understand more about what the results mean and how to apply them. Our presentation starts at 1:3o pm. During the brown bag round table from 12 noon to 1:3o pm, there will be discussion time for brick wall problems, best practice discussions, or any other member needs and questions, then “new business” announcements.

Gardening with Fungi 101
When the rains come, mushrooms visit our gardens, peering at us through the flowers and reminding us that there is a mysterious world just below the surface of the soil! What are they doing there? Are fungi friend or foe? An expert from the Central Texas Mycological Society will address these questions and explore the relationships fungi have with plants and the greater ecosystem at the Wimberley Garden Club’s meeting on Wednesday, March 11, at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, 101 W. Spoke Hill. We will learn techniques to improve our soils with fungi, the basics of the soil food web and how to incorporate fungi into our culinary and ornamental gardens.
