| Impact Report | Two different horticultural tours were arranged and provided for by the Agent this year. The first tour was in June for a group of 21 County Agents and Horticulture Specialists from Kansas State University who were wanting to expand their knowledge base about xeric horticultural plants and suppliers. These tour participants had the opportunity to visit a local nursery and some Master Gardener sponsored demonstration gardens. Their visit in Santa Fe was a segment of a larger tour which included visits to Sandoval, Bernalillo and San Miguel counties as well. The second tour was for a group of 40 retired statisticians from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service and their spouses who had their annual meeting in Santa Fe in September. This 1/2 day tour included a visit to a private garden as well as a local nursery. Several of the tour participants were very interested in taking some plant material to their home states to try growing it in their own gardens. |
