Roadrunner Meeting

The traditional Roadrunner Nursery meeting was well attended, as expected. We all owe a big THANK YOU to Mike Spiekerman who always surprises us with treats, water, a no-cost raffle and special plant prices, just for the Desert Gardeners! He always chooses a timely topic and passes on his gardening lore. Bees, Mesquites and Agaves were the main subjects this year and each us discovered something new...as always!

I especially love the way Mike introduces his crew. The rapport he shares with his helpers is immediately noticeable and is wonderful to see. Each year, artistic changes are made at this nursery. It just keeps getting better and better! It is fast becoming a place not just to purchase plants or fruit, but a place to stroll, look around and enjoy desert scenery. I always try to visit during the cactus bloom...just gorgeous!
