Scavenger Gardening

Sponsored by the Albuquerque Petal Pushers, this is a presentation on thinking outside the to-go box when it comes to gardening.  Join Rose as she brings a fresh look at ways to use, re-use, and find unique ways to incorporate what people already have into gardening instead of having to run out and buy something new.

Many of Rose’s insights are available both on the website www.solarranch.com and in her latest gardening book:  The Competently Quirky Parables of an Eccentric Master Gardener
