North Texas gardeners know that weather can be unpredictable—and few people understand North Texas weather better than award-winning meteorologist Dan Henry.

In this timely presentation, Dan will explore how our region’s changing and often extreme weather patterns—from prolonged summer heat and drought to sudden freezes, heavy rainfall, severe storms, and dramatic temperature swings—can affect our lawns, trees, plants, and landscapes.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience observing and forecasting everything Mother Nature can deliver, Dan will help gardeners better understand the weather behind the challenges they see in their own yards. His extensive career includes serving as a research meteorologist, more than two decades leading FOX 4’s Weather Team in North Texas, five Emmy Awards, and recognition as the first meteorologist in the DFW area to earn the American Meteorological Society’s prestigious Certified Broadcast Meteorologist Seal.

Gardeners will learn practical ways to create more resilient landscapes, including selecting plants better suited to challenging conditions, managing water wisely, protecting plants from temperature extremes, and adjusting planting and maintenance practices in response to unpredictable rainfall and seasonal changes.

Whether you’ve watched a favorite tree struggle through a scorching Texas summer or wondered how to prepare your garden for the next surprise freeze, this presentation will offer useful insights for helping your landscape adapt—and thrive—in North Texas weather.
