It’s unbelievable, but no bilingual guides to gardening and yard care exist on the American commercial book market. Books about gardening in any language besides English are also a rarity in the USA.We felt it was time to address this void. Our Galveston County community especially needed a bilingual English–Spanish guide to yard care since approximately 18% of our population is His-panic. Currently, Spanish speakers are not adequately addressed by our publications.We created this English–Spanish guide to yard care emphasizing essential words and common phrases used in any kind of land-scaping endeavor, commercial or residential. Furthermore, each English–Spanish landscaping word or phrase is accompanied by a clear picture, which illustrates its exact meaning. Other vital words for numbers, days of the week, months and seasons of the year have also been included for handy reference. We have made the format the perfect size for convenient carrying and handling.We hope to enhance the mission of Texas Cooperative Extension and the Master Gardener program further by creating a series of bilingual gardening guides that will reach all our citizens, regard-less of the language they speak!
Increíble que no existe una guía bilingüe para el cuidado del jardín en el mercado comercial americano. Libros acerca de jardinería en otro idioma con la excepción de inglés son escasos.Observamos que era tiempo de llenar este vacío. Especialmente en nuestra comunidad en el condado de Galveston se necesitaba una guía bilingüe para el cuidado del jardín en inglés/español ya que 18% de nuestra población es hispánica. Corrientemente, gente de habla española no está adecuadamente incluida en nuestras publicaciones. Creamos esta guía para el cuidado del jardín en inglés/español con énfasis en palabras esenciales y frases comunes que se usan comercialmente o en las residencias cuando se trabaja en el jardín. Además, cada palabra en inglés/español está acompañada por una imagen que ilustra exactamente lo que significa. Incluidas también para referencia práctica hay otras palabras esenciales para números, días de la semana, meses y estaciones del año. El tamaño de la guía es conveniente para llevarlo consigo y también para usarlo.Anticipamos realzar la misión de la Extensión Cooperativa de Texas y del programa de Master Gardeners produciendo una serie de guías bilingües para el cuidado del jardín que incluyan a todos los vecinos sin excluir a nadie a causa del idioma que habla.

When you cut the branches, please cut them on the slant. This lets the water run off so it will not make the cut hold water and pro-
mote disease in the tree. Cuando corte las ramas, por favor córtelas en un ángulo. Cortando las ramas a un ángulo
permite que el agua se resbale y no per-manezca en el corte; esto previene el fomen-
to de enfermedades en el árbol.
