Clearance Sale on our landscaping booklets!

Originally created by the AZNPS Urban Education Committee, these booklets flew off the shelf due to the excitement over new xeric plant offerings (though some were not native to this country….the text in the booklets notes that), and due to the cheap prices in order to reach newcomers to our area.  The booklets have done a great service to AZNPS over the years, keeping us flush with money to do more education projects along the way. We are grateful to the professional growers, landscapers and other committee members who developed these useful tools.

There is good growing information in these booklets and we are urging you to utilize that for formulating your own landscape plans and adding to them. We also want to urge that you consider growing our Arizona Natives instead of some of the suggestions in these booklets to use non-natives. Our plan is to keep plugging on production of several good native plant lists that we will eventually put onto our website to help people with landscape planning. If you have good photos of natives in habit that you would like to share for our educational purposes, please email those in reasonable quality to Nancy Zierenberg
