Come learn about rock gardening basics from Robin Magowan!

On October 2, 2024, the New Mexico chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society(NARGS) will begin the 2024-2025 season with a presentation by local rock garden extraordinaire Robin McGowan,“Intro to Rock Gardening.”Magowan is a poet, academician, world traveler, and gardener. In 2012 he moved from his established home and garden in Connecticut to his current home on a hillside in southeast Santa Fe, where he’s been developing and refining his fantastic garden ever since.“Magowan has very nearly single-handedly introduced more than a thousand plants to the property. Some are indigenous to New Mexico while others were ordered through catalogs specializing in rare plants from locations as far away as Turkey.” (Kathy Haq, “A Poet and his Rock Garden,” Santa Fe Extension Master Gardeners newsletter, October 2019).
