SIGNATURE CLASSES
Are you new to Tucson or new to gardening here?  Our monthly Signature Classes will help unravel the mysteries of gardening in the Sonoran Desert.  You will gain a basic understanding of the local climate, soil, water and plants, and you’ll take home tips to help your own garden thrive. Signature Classes are offered every month, and no pre-registration is required.  Whenever you’re ready to dive in and get to know your backyard desert landscape, drop in for a class–or the whole series.

View full descriptions and schedules.
