We want to thank Nicholas Maestas, Constituent Liaison for Congressman Ben R. Luján, for visiting us today during “Invite Congress to Visit Your Museum Week”! We had the pleasure of giving a construction tour of the new ethnobotanical gardens, Ojos y Manos, showing our current thriving plant collections after all the wonderful recent rain, and discussing our education and outreach to our Santa Fe community. We appreciate your support Congressman Ben R. Luján!
