 This is a bi-annual event that celebrates the native Arizona landscape. The event encourages the community to landscape with native and regionally native, low water use plants. The plant sale occurs in the spring and fall, both great times to spruce up the yard and establish new plants. In addition to an impressive variety of low water use and native plants, the sales include educational workshops, presentations and in the spring a farm and artisans fair. All events are designed to give attendees the best information to be successful southwest gardeners. Come join the fun!
