The Desert Horticulture Conference will not be held in 2026 but is expected to return in May of 2027. 

Following the retirement of Ursula Schuch, we are taking this year to thoughtfully transition the conference and plan for its return. Sign up for the email list to be notified when registration opens and when speakers are announced.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Schuch for her many years of leadership in developing and delivering this exceptional conference. Her dedication, expertise, and commitment to the desert horticulture community have made a lasting impact. We thank Ursula for the incredible horticultural program that evolved and expanded over 26 years.
