SUMMARY:Wildflower Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Maturango Museum’s Annual Wildflower Exhibit 2025 \nFriday\, March 28 – Sunday\, March 30. \nOpen 10 am – 5 pm\, Friday & Saturday\, and noon to 4 pm on Sunday. \n  \nThe Wildflower Exhibit features wildflowers that grow in and around Ridgecrest\, including eastern Sierra canyons. We concentrate on the watershed areas that feed into the Indian Wells Valley. Even though this year is dry\, we expect blooms somewhere in our large collecting area\, most likely at higher elevations where cooler temperatures and moisture linger in protected microclimates. We expect perennial shrubs with deeper root systems to bloom by late March. A microscope will be available for visitors to look at parts of flowers. You may even see an insect on the plant! \nAlso\, we’ll be hosting two speakers and three workshops over the three-day event. \nFriday\, March 28 from 1 pm – 3 pm\, the Oasis Garden Club is hosting a “Flower Arrangement Workshop”. This event will include garden plants grown by club members to be used in the flower arrangement. \nFriday at 6:30 pm\, Glenn Harris will present\, “Climate and Vegetation.” Glenn is a retired BLM employee who specialized in Botany\, soils\, Water Resources\, Hydrology\, Air Quality\, Range Management\, and Fire Management. He currently volunteers as a docent for the Museum. \nSaturday\, March 29\, at 1 pm\, Andrea Pelch will talk about “Mesquite Pods and Cactus Pads – Food from the Desert.” Andrea will give a presentation and interactive demonstrations to learn about the nutritious qualities of Mesquite pod flour and nopals (cactus pads).  The display table will also include other local\, edible wild foods\, and a few surprises. YES! – there will be samples of items to taste during the presentation. \nSaturday\, March 29\, at 3 pm\, Rachel Tageant\, gives her presentation on\, “A Floristic Inventory of the Owens River Headwater area\, Mono County\, California.” Rachel is a grad student at Claremont Graduate University and the California Botanic Garden\, and her floristic study area is the Owens River Headwater Wilderness Area\, which is on the east side of the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains between Mammoth Lakes and June Lake. Congress designated this area as a Wilderness Area in 2009. \n  \nSunday\, March 30\, at 1 pm\, the Maturango Museum is hosting a workshop titled\, “Learn the Parts of a Flower.” This workshop examines the different parts of the flower by removing the leaves and flower parts for closer examination. \n  \nMaturango Museum\, 100 E Las Flores Ave\, Ridgecrest\, CA  93555  www.maturango.org \nSpecial Event  $2.00 per person.
