Marisa Thomson, NMSU Extension Horticulture Specialist Speaks on Native Plants for Exciting New Mexico Gardens, 7 p.m. Thursday May 6.

Thompson is responsible for active Cooperative Extension and research programs supporting sustainable horticulture. In addition to studying landscape mulches for improved perennial plant root establishment and tomato-growing practices that reduce disease pressures while increasing water conservation, her research includes abiotic plant stressors like wind, cold, heat, drought, and soil compaction.
