The weather has been pretty nice here in Amarillo. Even the winter months were nothing to complain about too much. We had warmer weather on Christmas than we did on Easter, and both days were nice.

That is why I would want to leave any planting advice to people who really know. Who knows more about that than the Amarillo Botanical Gardens? They make a living out of making things grow, and the results are stunning.
So when they speak, we tend to listen. They will be speaking on April 25th for Garden Fest. They will have it all, from buying what you need to learning how it is done. There will also be vendors and kids' crafts.
A lot is going on at Garden Fest 2026.
