??? Exciting news from Desert Botanical Garden! In August, our dedicated scientists embarked on an incredible two-week expedition to Peru, made possible by the generous support of longtime donors Bert and Betty Feingold. Under the expert planning of Raul Puente-Martinez, our Living Collections Curator and Research Botanist, the team—featuring Herbarium Curator Andrew Salywon, Cactus Plant Form Specialist Noemi Hernandez and former Garden researcher Lucas Majure—set out to collect valuable herbarium specimens. Their efforts not only enhance our Garden's collection but also contribute to vital research on desert plants and strengthen our collaboration with Peruvian botanists. ????
