Santa Fe Botanical Garden presents “Fruit Tree and Orchard Scouting in the Southwest” with Orchardist Gordon Tooley. Thursday, March 11th, at 6pm.
The intricate magnificence of trees is what delights the expert eye of Gordon Tooley.

Gordon lives and works at Tooley’s Tree Farm, a retail and wholesale organic nursery located in Truchas, NM. His nursery is spectacularly sited at 8,000 feet on the highroad between Santa Fe and Taos. Gordon and his wife, Margaret Yancey, raise trees that are drought tolerant and adapted to high Ph.

Tooley’s specializes in species of trees and shrubs and old heirloom fruit varieties that thrive in difficult sites and conditions. Grafts are on rootstocks carefully selected to match climate and soil types in this area.
Lecture is free and open to the public.
