About our instructor: "My name is Tyler, and for the past six years at SummerWinds, I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in the world of gardening, a passion that has brought me immense joy and fulfillment. My journey into gardening began later in life, at the age of 29, with a humble onion that sprouted unexpectedly in my kitchen. When I decided to plant it and watched it bloom into a stunning flower, I was instantly hooked. That moment sparked a deep, enduring love for gardening within me, and every day since then has been a celebration of that newfound passion." 

Learn how to plant and care for trees and shrubs that will bring lasting beauty and sustainability to your landscape! This free 1-hour class covers everything from choosing the right varieties—including native options—to placement, spacing, and soil preparation. You’ll also gain practical tips on watering, mulching, fertilization, pruning, and managing pests and diseases, all tailored to the unique challenges of gardening in the Valley of the Sun.

Whether you’re looking to add shade, structure, or seasonal interest to your yard, this class will give you the knowledge and confidence to grow strong, healthy trees and shrubs that thrive in our desert climate.
