Plant Whisperers

The purpose of the Plant Whisperers Gardening Interest Group is to provide an opportunity for members to connect with nature, learn about local plant life while sharing information and helpful tips about high desert gardening. Members consist of Master Gardeners, plant lovers and all levels in between. Each member is asked to organize one presentation or event per year; they may present their own garden expertise, invite local gardening/master gardener speakers, attend a class, or plan a trip to a garden or nursery. This group began in 2023, and plans events for March - November.
