The Garden is proud to introduce a new way to explore the world of desert plants. Created under the guidance of Raul Puente, the Garden’s curator of living collections, the DBGenus series of classes will give participants an in depth look at their favorite groups of desert plants. Each plant grouping, or genus, will be examined in terms of taxonomy (classification), morphology (structure), ethnobotany and horticulture. This unique approach to the plants in the Garden’s collection will provide new perspectives whether you are walking our trails, gardening in your backyard or just enjoying nature. The first class in the series will look at the genus Cylindropuntia (cholla) in the Sonoran Desert and beyond. Instructed by Andrew Salywon, assistant herbarium curator, and Ray Leimkuehler, gardener for the Plants and People of the Sonoran Desert Trail. Limit 20.
Tuesday and Thursday / November 10 and 12 / 6 - 8:30 p.m.
