Spice up your yard! ️ Learn to grow Texas-friendly peppers, tomatoes, & onions with BE Wild. Plus: DIY design tips & salsa recipe swaps!

What’s better than a fresh bowl of salsa?

A bowl of salsa grown entirely in your own backyard!

Join BE Wild at the Wildflower Church Community Garden for a workshop dedicated to the ultimate Texas summer staple: The Salsa Garden.

We’re breaking down how to grow the "Big Four"—Peppers, Tomatoes, Onions, and Tomatillos—specifically for our Central Texas climate. This isn't just about planting; it’s about the Permaculture of Flavor.

What we’ll cover:

• Texas-Friendly Varieties: The specific heat-tolerant peppers and "set-it-and-forget-it" tomatillos that love our Austin sun.
• Succession Planting: How to time your onions and tomatoes so they’re ready for the same harvest bowl.
• The Salsa Ecosystem: Companion planting tips to keep pests away from your peppers using native wildflowers.
• The Great Salsa Swap: We’ll be sharing and comparing our favorite salsa recipes—bring your best "secret ingredient" to discuss!

What to bring:

Water, sun protection, your favorite salsa recipe to share, and your gardening gloves if you want to get hands-on in the community beds.

Let’s grow! Let’s build a wilder Austin, one garden at a time.
