Welcome Everyone!

We are excited to invite you to Coachella Valley Wildflower Festival 2022. We will be gathering together in Palm Desert on March 5th, and we have once again planned the Festival to be even more accessible to everyone wanting to Connect to the Land. Great news - our popular 30x30x30 Activity Challenge is back!

As a City of Palm Desert First Weekend featured activity for March, this Friends of the Desert Mountains/FODM event is free to attend and features local artists and their beautiful work, vendors, exhibitors, enchanting wildflower displays, and live music. There will be an interactive kids' zone including a climbing wall, as well as a Safety Fair, and much more. Food and beverages will be available for purchase and there will be a beer and wine garden for adults to enjoy.

With raffles and silent auction items, funds raised will help to support FODM’s work in protecting and preserving the area’s land resources. FODM connects people to the land. With volunteer and donor support, FODM provides opportunities for valley residents and visitors alike to enjoy and sustain the rugged, natural beauty of the Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and Coachella Valley. Programs include guided hikes, adult and youth education, citizen science, trail maintenance, weed removal, and conservation.

Have fun exploring and continue to be safe!
