Horticulture Forum

Our mission is to help members and guests become familiar with horticulture procedures and materials, including the ID of common ornamentals and house plants, learn different propagation techniques and proper greenhouse sanitation measures. As a group, we gather new species and grow a wide variety of succulents, edibles, and flowering plants for indoor and outdoor purposes. We hope to share our knowledge with the community of Las Cruces and strive to implement sustainable landscapes utilizing native plant species and promoting pollinators within our diverse regional microclimate(s). Learn more about the Horticulture Forum.
