Desert Gem creates a new colorful desert environment for this client near the base of Ventana Canyon in the Santa Catalina Foothills of Tucson. This welcoming, red, orange and yellow hummingbird and butterfly garden was designed specifically for the client’s favorite color palette to showcase the beautiful, sustainable Sonoran Desert and the native wildlife that are encouraged to visit. Maturing desert trees form a lacy backdrop, around which colorful native plantings thrive and give year around low water color and interest.
