Ancient Plants – Pinyon Pine & Mojave Yuccas
Using samples of local ancient plants, Robin will reveal the amazing ages of the long-lived plants of the southwest and our local area, discuss how ancient native plants contribute to the stability of their community, share ways we can each help protect these treasures of the desert, and relate how ancient plants have rewritten human history. Robin will also tell how these ancient survivors can enhance your own landscape, introducing local ancient plants that you can incorporate into your garden, not just for your enjoyment, but for future generations of humans, native songbirds, and wildlife. Learn how you can become part of the solution by contributing to an attractive, environmentally sustainable landscape – right in your own yard!
