With the decades-long drought in the Southwest, urban flower gardens are suffering, along with the pollinators that have come to depend upon them. Author George Miller will explain the use of drought-tolerant, low-maintenance native plants to create a yard that is a life-sustaining habitat for birds and insect pollinators displaced by development.
George Miller is a longtime environmental photojournalist and past president of the Albuquerque Chapter of the Native Plant Society of New Mexico. He graduated from the University of Texas, Austin with a masters degree in botany and zoology and pursued a career as an environmental journalist. George's latest book is “Native Plant Gardening for Birds, Bees & Butterflies:Southwest.”
His website WildflowersNM.com has descriptions, photos and identification tips for over 650 New Mexico and Southwest wildflowers.
