Water Saved, Beauty Gained: Cultivating Colorful Native Flora

Water Saved, Beauty Gained: Cultivating Colorful Native Flora

Are colorful gardens possible in the arid desert landscape? Come learn how to use native plants to build a garden of your dreams. Find out which plants do well in our high, arid Chihuahuan Desert and when to plant them. Planting native plants naturally conserves water and will help you save money. Join us and discover how to combine different design principles when planning a garden that you will love. Bring your camera and tour the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens. There is always something in bloom!

As part of this event, we’ll also be hosting a small native-plant sale, open to all attendees!
