ENGAGING THE DESERT WITH YOUR GARDENING

presented by Larry Lynam 

Life is a journey—this we know. Larry Lynam, a microbiologist by training and profession, made a journey from professional with a biopharmaceutical firm to Master Gardner. His first gardening experience was becoming a Master Gardner in Fort Lauderdale, Florida through the U. of Florida. Then he re-located to Tucson AZ and began studying as a Master Gardner once again through the U. of Arizona.

Active in the Pima County Master Gardeners, the U. of Arizona Campus Arboretum, and Tohono Chul, his experience has helped him to create a garden resilient and resistant to the changing desert climate.

We will hear Larry share his knowledge and ideas to help us create an efficient, attractive, and inviting landscape that brings one year-round enjoyment. He will include the best practices developed and vetted by the U. of Arizona agricultural and climate research.

*Lecture Free to FSL Members and $5 for non-members
