She’ll touch on David’s and her early passion for water-wise native and adapted plants, including personal favorites hardy cacti, fiber plants, and grasses, on into plants that attract and support pollinators, hummingbirds, and other wildlife, and also their hunt to identify some of the best woody plants for a resilient future.

CANCELED - Digging Deeper: Honoring a Legacy: The David Salman Tribute Garden
2025-05-30 14:00 - 16:00 | Santa Fe Botanical Garden, 715 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, NM, 87505, United States
CANCELED – WE WILL RESCHEDULE THIS PROGRAM FOR 2026. Thanks for your understanding!
Digging Deeper: Honoring a Legacy: The David Salman Tribute Garden
David Salman was a horticulturist and plantsman of extraordinary talent and influence. He generously shared his curiosity and knowledge about plants through his skills as a nurseryman, educator, and passionate advocate for gardening styles and plant choices appropriate to the high, dry West.
After Salman passed away in 2022 a movement started to create a public garden to honor Salman and his contributions to horticulture. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden created a space and helped with planning to bring this memorial garden to life. Many of the marvelous plants we all now love and include in our own gardens are Salman introductions: hummingbird mints, salvias, cold hardy cacti, and more.
In this program we will dig deeper into the many beautiful and water-wise David Salman plants we have in our Tribute Garden, and we’ll talk about David Salman and his influence on Western gardening.
