The annual Tubac, AZ self-guided garden tour is sponsored by the Tubac Center of the Arts (TCA) and features beautiful Tubac area gardens, each providing a different aspect of the "art of gardening".
#1 - A traditional Tubac garden with a large enclosed back patio full of native plants and easy to care for landscaping. A special treat at this stop on the tour are the garden pots painted by Artist members on the patio. Shannon Lockwood will speak here at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. about landscaping with native plants.
#2 - Enchanting design incorporates raised garden beds and space to entertain into a profusion of color and functionality. Lorin Jacobsen, local builder, will be on site to answer questions and explain how to build and incorporate raised beds into your own garden.
#3 - An oasis in the desert overlooking the Anza Trail and the mesquite bosque, this is a garden where you’ll want to sit and soak in the peace and quiet. Learn about photographing flowers/plants with Mary Ball at 10:00 a.m. and noon in this charming garden setting.
