February 18, 2025 – How to Over-Summer Your Garden

February 18 @ 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM MST

General Meeting at St. Mark’s Presbyterian, Knox Room and via Zoom.

How to Over-Summer Your Garden and keep your soil alive.

Speaker:  Lorien Tersey of Dreamflower Garden

Lorien Tersey has been gardening year round in Tucson for 23 years, building a one acre urban farm using integrated organic practices. She spent three years on the grounds staff at Tohono Chul Park and was active for years with the Gardeners of Tucson. She sells plants and produce at the Santa Cruz River Farmers’ Market and from her gorgeous farm in midtown.

Over-summering the garden.  Lorien will share with us suggestions on how to prepare our gardens for the Tucson summer.  If you are a snow-bird who isn’t here over the summer or you are here and trying to coax along a summer garden, she will offer us tips on what we can do with plant selection and plant care, and most importantly, tips on how to keep your soil “alive” and best practices for watering.
