Field Trip: Sunday, July 20 Growing Castillejas and Carrots in a Flagstaff Garden, led by Zack Zdinak. Just get us started on how we've grown carrots for years, or how we successfully transplanted dozens of paintbrush from a friend's construction site, and we won't stop. Zack and Robert welcome you to our modest downtown garden for those and other trials and errors with native and food plants. We'll have the coffee ready. Bring a pot luck item to share for a backyard picnic. Meet at Meet at the Arizona State Credit Union parking lot, corners of Beaver and Butler Streets, to carpool, or call Zack for directions to his downtown house: 774-4229 or wildlife@lifedraw.com.
Evening Program Talk: Tuesday, August 19 2008 Native Plant Garden Competition. The 2007 event was so successful and appreciated by the community, we decided to do it again! Photos and descriptions of the gardens and landscapes entered into this second AZNPS garden competition will be featured. The focus of the competition is for the home gardener to demonstrate how plants of the Colorado Plateau can best be used in a garden setting. AZNPS judges will have visited the entered gardens, selected the winners, first and second in non-professional and professional categories, and will share how their decisions were made. See page 6 for an entry form or contact Elaine Ferris at (928) 527-3702.

The Liberal Arts building is attached to and on the east side of the greenhouse, east of the parking lot. LA 135 is the auditorium in the northeast corner of the building.
