Do you think native New Mexico plants are hard to find, hard to grow, or too messy? Think again! Join us for a walk-and-talk about great looking native perennials, annuals, and other plants you can grow in your garden with minimal angst. 

SFBG Director of Horticulture Linda Churchill will be your guide and will discuss how to plant and water these standout natives and what to expect in your garden, while we observe many of the established native plants in our botanical garden. No PowerPoint! Just friendly, honest talk with a takeaway plant list, good advice, and plenty of time for Q&A.

A short planting demonstration will follow the talk if you're interested. This is a great program for people new to gardening or new to Santa Fe.

What to bring: hat, water, sunscreen, good walking shoes, camera or phone if you want to take pictures.

Participants will use a journal and a limited pallet of fourteen paints, with only a few brushes, learn how to capture manageable subjects such as landscapes, southwest gates, ristras, entryways, or beautiful adobe buildings. Participants will also create notes on color mixes, location, time of day and the information of the subject just painted. This allows individuals to travel and create, come back to the studio and complete a finished piece. Or just finish up your journal for your own enjoyment.

This class will cover, color theory, value study and one-point and two-point perspective. This class is for beginners to intermediate, even if you haven't painted before you will really enjoy this class.
