Milagro Community Garden has its hoop house almost done. Right now, the Hoop House is about 80% complete. We were waiting on delivery of some huge rolls of heavy duty plastic to complete the “skin” of the Hoop House and they have just arrived. We will also anchor the Hoop House with metal pins and hang the two doors.
If you can, please help us again this Thursday, April 21st at 8:00 AM.
We need may pairs of hands to maneuver the giant sheets of plastic. The reason for the early start is to try and beat the wind that might come up in the early afternoon.
If you need directions to Milagro Garden or if you have questions, email Duskin Jasper at djasper99@yahoo.com or call 505-795-4665

To help New Mexicans with the art of using outdoor water more efficiently, the Office of the State Engineer has developed an expert-recommended list of low-water use, native and adaptive plants that thrive in our climate and save water.
You can select your search criteria by Region, Plant Category, Flower Color, Bloom Season, Sun Exposure, Plant Size, Deciduous/Evergreen, Water Requirement, Wildlife Attraction or Soil Type. New Mexico’s Interactive Plant List will help you select a plant that is appropriate to your specific microclimate. No more costly experiments.
