Our Master Desert Gardener certificate program is designed to meet the needs of desert gardeners who would like to enrich their understanding of our desert environment and increase their skill in creating sustainable lifestyle gardens that are appropriate to the desert. The program promotes sensible gardening that preserves a sense of place and seeks to promote healthy, balanced and beautiful desert garden environments. This program is designed to offer students accurate horticultural information via classes that can be taken at one's own pace, without the grueling number of volunteer hours and other requirements demanded by similar programs conducted elsewhere.
