Garden Tour & Summer Set-Up

Mountainair Community Garden manager Joan Embree writes,


Dear all,
     May 26, four of us went trekking to two very different gardens to see other community efforts. Addie, Carla, Tamra, and I learned much at both the Seed2Need Gardens in Corrales, Sandoval County, and at the Rio Grande Community Farm/Community Gardens area. The Corrales Food Pantry Project 

Xeriscape & Water Conservation Conference 2012

The conference seems pricey considering our modest projects and even more modest budget, but at least one conference attendee could bring back information for many. On the other hand, Expo is free: 200+ vendors demos, exhibits and ongoing free seminars.

Xeriscape & Water Conservation Conference 2012 Collaborations for New Solutions is this year's theme for the Water Conservation and Xeriscape Conference and EXPO.  Speakers lined up for this year were chosen to provide lively talks and discussion; the group is varied and includes conservation advocates, water professionals and other interesting presenters.    Dates for the 2012 Conference are February 23-24 and for the Expo the 25-26. We are holding the conference at the Crown Plaza Albuquerque (formally the Albuquerque Hilton) and the EXPO at the New Mexico State Fairgrounds. Thanks and see you in February! The Xeriscape Council of New Mexico
