Join us for the debut of an exciting new lecture series bringing the wonders of Arizona to life through the eyes of people who explore our unique natural treasures. Presented in a partnership between Arizona Highways and the Desert Botanical Garden, the Arizona Explorers lectures will gather the resources of two organizations highlighting the magnificence of Arizona for over 70 years.
Wildflower Adventures with Arizona Highways Photography Editor Jeff Kida
In contrast to the snow blanketing the vegetation of many states, Arizona’s spring wildflowers come into bloom in early February. The program features this annual springtime burst of blooms from the lower deserts to the higher elevations, a cacophony of color that often continues into the summer rainy season.
Join Arizona Highways photography editor Jeff Kida as he shares some of the magazines favorite locations, wildflower tips and techniques for capturing the beauty of the spring wildflower season. Limit 100.
