The “Pollinator Oasis” Project

Sherry, a Master Gardener who relocated from a more temperate region to Tucson, found herself with a patio home that offered stunning mountain views but an empty, uninspired yard. After collaborating on a thoughtful garden plan, she brought the design to life herself, infusing the space with her personality, expertise, and unmistakable green thumb. Three years on, the garden continues to thrive, offering vibrant pops of color and delightful surprises around every corner. Its success even earned it a feature in AZ Plant Lady’s acclaimed book, Dry Climate Gardening. On a recent follow-up visit, the garden’s vitality was on full display—highlighted by the joyful sight of a monarch butterfly stopping to nectar among the blooms.
