The delightfully quirky Twentynine Palms weed show is this weekend. The weed show features desert residents competing for the best composition using local weeds and found objects in a variety of themed categories, including one for kids only and one category using an arrangement of live plant material with museum-quality purple glass as an accessory. This year’s theme is “Colorful Characters” and celebrates the historical denizens of Twentynine Palms. Managing editor Tami Roleff has more information about the weed show…
