Landscape design in Carefree

Are you wanting an attractive garden, yet tired of investing your time and money? Sadly, landscapes aren’t always designed with maintenance in mind. The result? Landscape that is over-pruned and underwhelming, not reflective of the original design. Noelle Johnson, aka AZ Plant Lady, says, “Improper plant selection, watering, and other avoidable factors compound the higher demand for maintenance.”

On Saturday, February 12, Carefree Desert Gardens welcomes horticulturist, Noelle Johnson, aka AZ Plant Lady and writer of the popular garden blog ‘Ramblings from a Desert Garden’. Noelle, with her degree in Urban Horticulture, is an instructor at Desert Botanical and Tucson Botanical Gardens. She is the creator of the popular online course, ‘Desert Gardening 101’. During this presentation, she will show you how to avoid, and fix, those areas of your garden that take a lot of work so you can have a beautiful outdoor space with less maintenance.

The program, usually including a plant raffle, will begin at 9:30 a.m. and run approximately until noon outside in the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion in the Carefree Desert Gardens, Carefree. A $5.00 – or more – donation is appreciated to support these programs. For information call 480-488-3686.

This is the second of four programs of the 2022 Carefree Desert Gardens seminar series.
