Leafing Thru Literature is this year’s theme. Talks by local experts are scheduled for both days during the show.

On Sunday at 2 p.m., Mike Heep, of Heep’s Native Plant Nursery in Harlingen, will speak on Citrus Varieties: Their Origins & Growing Them.
There will be competition in 17 horticultural classes including container grown plants, shrubs either for foliage or blossom, cacti and succulents, roses, hibiscus, and other indoor and outdoor specimens both native and non-native to the Rio Grande Valley.
Floral designs, arts and crafts, and educational exhibits created by members of the Harnito and Town and Country garden clubs will be on display.
