Creating Microclimates in Your Arizona Yard & Garden

Want to grow more plants, reduce heat stress, and make your garden more comfortable year-round? By creating microclimates, you can transform your yard into a more resilient and productive space, even in the extreme heat of the Valley. In this class, we’ll explore practical ways to use shade, windbreaks, water, soil, and plant layering to modify temperature, humidity, and sun exposure. Learn how microclimates can help you expand your plant palette, conserve water, and create a thriving, more sustainable landscape. Whether you're looking to protect tender plants or cool down your outdoor spaces, this class will give you the tools to make the most of your garden’s unique conditions!

No registration required. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

About our instructor: "My name is Tyler, and for the past six years at SummerWinds, I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in the world of gardening, a passion that has brought me immense joy and fulfillment. My journey into gardening began later in life, at the age of 29, with a humble onion that sprouted unexpectedly in my kitchen. When I decided to plant it and watched it bloom into a stunning flower, I was instantly hooked. That moment sparked a deep, enduring love for gardening within me, and every day since then has been a celebration of that newfound passion."
