Presentation: 'Planting native Saudi Arabian species' by Christopher Clarke
We all love the frangipani and bougainvilleas in KAUST, but what local species can we plant, and why bother using local species? Christopher will be drawing from his botanical field trips all over Arabia to suggest species that could be planted in KAUST to add a more local flavor to our gardens and will explain the advantages of using local plants.
