Upcoming Events August 19, 2026 at 7pm - Regular meeting. Final planning for the Labor Day Show....
We plan on broadcasting this on Zoom. Non-members can get Zoom meeting info by emailing us.
The talk will be given by Ann Davidson, she lives in the Four Hills area
and has a piece of land where she works with mostly local native cacti.
She has all sorts of data about flowering and volunteer seedlings that
appear. It is part of nature with access for wild animals in the
area. It will be very interesting to see how her garden thrives,
supports birds and wildlife, with multigenerational plants.
Note: The gate to the parking lot on the East side of the
Albuquerque Garden Center building will be locked. It
requires a 4 digit code to open. Members receive the gate
code (which has not changed in years) in the email meeting
announcement. Visitors are welcome to follow a member in.
