Hi, I’m Carianne
I serve as a resource for the southwest, an expert in the areas of habitat restoration, desert pollinator gardens and plants. I started Strategic Habitat Enhancements in 2019 because I am on a mission to create joyous spaces for people and wildlife with climate-ready native plant choices and strategies.

Impact
I have worked on pollinator gardens at National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges, habitat restoration in urban and wild places. I’ve been working with local non-profits like the Central Arizona Conservation Alliance, Tucson Audubon Society, Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, Gila Watershed Partnership, Taproot Collaborative, and the Sonoran Desert Mountain Bicyclists, as well as garden clubs including the Oracle Community Learning Garden and the Arizona Columbine Garden Club. I am teaching an Advanced SmartScape course, “Sustainable Landscaping” through the UA/Pima County Cooperative Extension, and I have been working with Master Gardeners in three Arizona counties.
