November 5, 2026 "Chile's Flowering Desert,"
The program will be "Chile's Flowering Desert," presented by Jane McGary. Jane and three other local NARGS members recently visited the floral spectacle that follows El Nino rains in the Atacama coastal region. Climate change suggests that this phenomenon will become more frequent, so start planning your South American explorations with this look at the beautiful plants you can see.
