The community is invited to hear New Mexico State University’s (NMSU) Dr. Marisa Thompson discuss the challenges brought upon by the particular climate in New Mexico, and offer solutions and suggestions in choosing the right flora for the changing world.

This free talk is 2-3 p.m. June 1 at Mesa Public Library in Los Alamos.

Dr. Thompson is a Horticultural Specialist at NMSU, and her body of research explores many areas of urban horticulture in New Mexico, including trees and orchards in New Mexico’s  drought-prone regions. She is a leader in NMSU’s Master Gardener Extension Program, with years of experience in teaching. She writes a column, “Southwest Yard & Garden”, published in several local newspapers, and she writes at Desert Blooms at NMSU.
