Medicinal Plants with Maria Thomas

Join us on Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to noon to learn about Medicinal Plants at the Martha Liebert Library in Bernalillo, NM.

Maria Thomas is the Curator of Plants at the Albuquerque Biopark Botanic Garden where she manages the botanical exhibits, plant collections, and horticultural staff for the 150-acre public park and garden.

Maria received a BA from the University of Oregon in Cultural Anthropology and her passion for ethnobotany has fueled a lifelong interest in the relationship between people past and present, and medicinal plants.

Maria views garden design and management as a holistic practice in balancing human culture with the natural world, and she uses this philosophy to create thoughtful, sustainable exhibits and landscapes for public enjoyment and education.

This class is open to interns and veteran Master Gardeners. In addition, a limited number of spots will be open to the public.
