Meet your instructor 

Hi! I’m Callie Works-Leary, founder of The Dallas Garden School and North Texas gardening expert.

I’ve taught thousands of home gardeners how to grow more with less stress by using simple, science-backed methods that actually work — especially our tough climate.

My approach to pest control is practical, natural, and grounded in real-life garden experience. If you’re ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start getting better results, I’d love to show you how.

What you'll learn: 

• The perfect planting window for fall vegetables (hint: it starts earlier than you think)

• Top-performing varieties for North Texas gardens

• How to prep your soil for fast-growing, healthy crops

• Watering, fertilizing, and pest-prevention strategies tailored for fall

• What to plant now and what to plant later for continuous harvests into winter

Our carefully crafted programs address the unique challenges and opportunities of gardening in our region, led by an expert who lives and breathes the subject matter.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for guidance or an experienced gardener ready to tackle advanced techniques, we provide the tools and knowledge you need to thrive. With us, you’re not just growing plants—you’re cultivating a deeper connection to nature, your community, and a lifestyle that’s rich with purpose and possibility.
