There are fruit trees, a shade house with vegetables, a greenhouse packed with ornamentals, container plants, raised planting beds and cozy patios. Master Gardeners contribute by conducting seminars on planting, care and maintenance of new trees. We will also help distribute trees in the fall. The trees selected this year are desert willow, eldarica pine, blue palo verde, mesquite and live oak. Large shade trees can reduce cooling bills, especially if they shade windows and air conditioner units.
Supplies are limited.
The trees available this year are sweet acacia, blue palo verde, silver dollar eucalyptus, willow acacia, and thorny mesquite. Pima County Master Gardeners have a booth that focuses on container gardening. Master Gardeners present seminars to demonstrate how to create beautiful and successful container gardens. The container garden created is raffled after each seminar. Master Gardeners are available throughout the three days of the show to answer questions about gardening in Pima County.
