Phoenix Permaculture Guild

Join us in creating a more sustainable Phoenix!

i'm a complete beginner at gardening, and over the past 2 years have taken most every class to get me started, yet having never been around gardening and not having the time or money to mess it up too much, it scares me to get started! but i am determined to...

i would love to see what others are doing first hand to get some better ideas as to what works in our climate... please let me know if you're open to this - and i'd be happy to lend a hand in exchange!

thanks!

I'm in Central Phoenix, but hopefully my garden pics will help to inspire:

Lots of pics over the years as my 'yard' has evolved in Xericopia. (yes, having a name is inspiring).

For more great ideas, check out these upcoming home/garden tours - I personally know of a number homes that will be worth seeing:

Willo Historic Home Tour

Coronado Historic Home Tour

Master Gardener's Garden Tour


Enjoy!
