Praise from Pima County Master Gardener students…
“The section on plant combinations and visual balance in desert design was my favorite. Carianne’s examples were gorgeous and practical!”
“Her knowledge of desert-adapted plant species was impressive. I especially appreciated the practical design tips, things I can apply in my own yard!”
“Carianne’s presentation was incredibly informative and inspiring! I learned so much about choosing the right plants for our unique ecosystems and how to design a landscape that’s both beautiful and sustainable.”
“The presentation gave me a whole new perspective on native and drought-
tolerant plants.”
“Really appreciated how Carianne combined science and design. I feel more confident in selecting plants for my yard thanks to her explanations.”
“Carianne made the topic of desert landscaping really engaging. I loved how she broke down plant choices by function and aesthetics. Super helpful!”
