Today I was 1 time once to a greater extent than reminded of how fast fourth dimension flies when you’re having fun. It seemed similar I simply got to Tucson, as well as yet it was already fourth dimension to caput dorsum to Phoenix. But before I left town, I checked out the Krutch Cactus Garden on the campus of the University of Arizona. It was originally started inward 1891 as well as moved as well as expanded inward 1929. Based on this description, it must convey been a lovely spot. Between the 1950s as well as 1970s much of the original garden was removed and/or replaced alongside turf (the horror), as well as the small-scale spell left today is but a shade of the garden’s old glory. I’m glad I finally took the fourth dimension to banking concern jibe it out, but it’s non a must-see.
My terminal halt inward Tucson was the master-planned community of Civano on the southeast side. I’d been in that location twice before (January 2015 as well as December 2015) as well as brutal inward honey alongside the colorful houses, the desert-appropriate landscaping as well as the full general vibe of the place: friendly, neighborly, community-focused. I could easily run across myself living in that location if it weren’t for 1 thing: the lots are actually (REALLY!) small. Right now, I’m all the same inward a phase where I desire to garden on a larger scale.
After an uneventful 2-hour get N I arrived at my in conclusion halt of the day: the novel Arizona State University (ASU) Polytechnic Campus inward the Phoenix suburb of Mesa. It popped upward on my radar when I read Pam Penick’s post from Feb 2015. Renowned landscape architect Christine Ten Eyck as well as her squad transformed the concrete as well as asphalt wasteland of a old Air Force base of operations into a thriving surroundings completely inward melody alongside its Sonoran Desert location. Now the campus is habitation to thousands of trees, including palo verde, palo blanco as well as mesquite, as well as to a greater extent than desert spoons (Dasylirion wheeleri) than I’ve e'er seen inward 1 place. Swaths of aloes intermingle alongside yuccas as well as agaves to practice a lush landscape. The liberal role of Corten steel as well as gabion walls connects the landscaping to the modern architecture of the academy buildings. I honey how it all comes together. I promise the students who acquire as well as alive hither know what a particular house it is. Much to a greater extent than on this ambitious projection inward a after post. (For the records, it was 76°F every bit I was walking unopen to the campus.)
Speaking of Pam Penick, tomorrow before I wing out I volition catch a distich of other world spaces inward Scottsdale that Pam blogged virtually earlier: Cavalliere Park as well as Scottsdale Xeriscape Garden. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 large cheers to Pam for raising awareness of these projects exterior of the Phoenix area.
