While friends and relatives in the Midwest and East are hunkering down and bundling up for late autumn and winter, Tucsonans are in their gardens planting their fall and winter gardens.
The annual Tohono Chul Fall Plant Sale is one of our favorite spots for picking up exceptional seasonal plants that actually have a chance of growing when their owners have brown, rather than green, thumbs.
Tohono Chul’s sale, which continues through Sunday, Oct. 18, has the typical and the unusual, native, cold-hardy, and arid-adapted plants from agaves to Zauschneria and everything in-between, according to Tohono Chul's website.
You can also check out the propagation greenhouse for “collector” plants including succulents as accent plants for containers, and Bonsai suitable plants and pots.
BYOW — bring your own wagon — is suggested, but there will be plenty available.
