"Thomas Jefferson said a democracy is dependent on an informed citizenry. I don't care whether it sounds corny or not. It's the truth." -Jim Lehrer
Vice Mayor John Crane announced that there would be a Garden seminar on February 12th in the Pavilion. See the details below.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR REDUCED MAINTENANCE
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, 2022, 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, including a plant raffle, will begin at 9:30 a.m. and run approximately until noon at the Carefree Desert Gardens Pavilion located in the town center. A $5.00 - or more - donation is appreciated to support these programs. For information call 480-488-3686.
This is the second of 4 programs of the 2022 Carefree Desert Gardens seminar series.
He noted that the January seminar in the Pavilion went very well.
The Vice Mayor's second announcement concerned the Sky Ranch Airport, which operates under a Special Use Permit. This requires that there exist a Sky Ranch Community Relations Committee. The information below has been listed in COINS and on the Town's social media to encourage residents to apply.
