SUMMARY:High & Dry in the Chinook Zone
DESCRIPTION:NARGS 2026\nAnnual General Meeting\nCalgary\, Alberta\, Canada\
 nThe Calgary Rock and Alpine Garden Society (CRAGS) invites rock gardeners
  to Calgary next June to celebrate rock-loving plants and rock gardens. Ca
 lgary is located on the western edge of the Northern Great Plains\, within
  sight of the Rocky Mountains. Owing to its elevation (1045 m\, 3400 ft) a
 nd associated cool nights\, Calgary provides favorable conditions for rock
  and alpine gardens\, despite the challenges of warm\, drying winds (chino
 oks) that punctuate otherwise cold winters. Nature abounds in the Calgary 
 region\, including five UNESCO\nWorld Heritage Sites with either alpine or
  dryland rock-loving vegetation within a three-hour drive.\n\nThe 2026 mee
 ting and associated activities promise to be engaging and informative. Con
 firmed speakers include Vojtech Holubec (Czech Republic)\, Jay Akerley (Ka
 mloops\, British Columbia)\, Todd Boland (St. John’s\, Newfoundland) and
  Stephanie Ferguson (Calgary\, Alberta). The opportunities and challenges 
 of gardening in the chinook zone will be discussed during visits to the pe
 rsonal gardens of CRAGS members and municipal rock gardens that the club h
 elped develop. Field trips to the nearby Front Range of the Rocky Mountain
 s will provide guided introduction to the native alpine flora.\nMore infor
 mation on the NARGS website
