DESERT BIOMES
IN THE CONSERVATORY

Join Conservatory Horticulturist Clare Reines for a close look at how true desert climates are interpreted inside the Conservatory. The class will explore the global diversity of deserts, what makes a true desert, and the requirements of desert plants. Clare will also discuss the planting process and maintenance considerations for the desert wing, ending the class with a guided tour. Each student will take home their own potted desert plant.
