Upcoming Events
Friday, January 20: Woody Minnich will talk about Namibia, a dry place in a wet time. Woody's comments follow:
This is the trip that Steve Brack and I enjoyed together this last May. I suspect that between our two presentations we should cover everything that we did and saw and I am sure that our two styles will be very different. I can't wait to share my vision of our trip with Steve and I hope the club won't mind having me doing a second presentation. This should be a very entertaining talk and, as usual, I will include everything about Namibia from the people, animals, plants to the landscapes. Namibia a very beautiful and magical place. This will also be the first time showing the not so well known "sociable desert rats" also known as Team Namibia!??
More information is available on this talk and on Woody Minnich.

April 14-15: Spring Show and Sale at the Albuquerque Garden Center, 10120 Lomas Blvd. NE on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. There is no admission charge. Lots of beautiful show plants (and flowers!) to see. We will also have a huge selection of cacti and succulents for sale including locally grown hardy species for the yard.
