Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 June 9am to 5pm Free admission #sanmigueldeallende The plants of our region are the result of a fascinating process of evolutionary adaptation over many millennia, occupying their place and their specific function within semi-arid ecosystems. They are species that have developed varied and amazing strategies, which have allowed them to survive with water scarcity and extreme temperatures, giving us their natural beauty. They are also plants that have accompanied the inhabitants of these lands for millennia, offering them food, healing, shelter and sustenance. In the face of the unquestionable reality of global warming, which is particularly affecting the semi-arid regions of the planet – such as ours – new strategies are essential to face the ongoing desertification process, starting with a change of mentality with respect to our gardens, as well as the parks and green areas of our cities. No more English grasses or high water consumption exotic plants. It is time to look at the diversity and beauty
