Arizona Gardening Resources

 This is the more practical part two of my Arizona gardening post. Listed below in no particular order are my favorite resources to turn to when I had a dilemma and felt the need for some outside help or ideas.

Extension office and website: https://extension.arizona.edu/maricopa 

vegetable planting chart: https://extension.arizona.edu/sites/extension.arizona.edu/files/pubs/az1005.pdf

Magazines: Sunset, Gardenista, PH&G

Summer Winds Nursery -classes

http://www.amwua.org/plants  - for identifying plants or researching new ones I might want to use.

Garden.org - another less local but more extensive plant database

DIG (Desert Institute of Gardening) classes, free at the library

Gardens to visit: Desert Botanical Gardens, Saguaro Ranch Park and Main Library, Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix Temple Grounds

There are a lot more amazing gardens to visit that are open to the public, but these are just the ones that I managed to make it to with my little ones in tow. I always enjoy a good visit to a garden to see how other people work with what they have been given.
