When
Looking for ideas to improve your garden? Wondering how to help your garden survive our intense climate? Interested in less work? Larry Lynam will discuss the lessons he learned as he prepared his Tucson home garden for the 2024 Pima County Master Gardener Home Tour. After 8 months of intensive gardening and landscape preparation for the April tour, he and his partner hosted over 1,200 guests viewing their home garden. He will share the best practices developed or vetted by the University of Arizona agricultural and climate research that he has incorporated in his own gardens to help make it more resilient and resistant to our changing desert climate. Participants will enjoy the garden as Larry provides ideas for helping you create an efficient, attractive, and inviting landscape that brings joy year-round.
Although he is a scientist by training, Larry has long been a garden enthusiast. He is an active member of the Pima County Master Gardeners serving on their Plant Clinic team, New Master Gardener Training Program, and the University of Arizona Campus Arboretum tour team. He also volunteers as a docent at Tohono Chul Botanical Gardens where he is a speaker in their educational and public enrichment programs as well as a docent rover and tour leader.
