Cochise County Master Gardeners The Master Gardener Program trains volunteers to provide research-based horticultural information to Welcome to Cochise County Master Gardeners web page.

We are affiliated with the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Sierra Vista Campus. The Cochise County Master Gardeners support The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program by providing researched-based horticultural information appropriate for Cochise County environments about gardening, food production, landscaping, native plants, and environmental stewardship. We want to share information about desert gardening, xeriscaping, planting and more.

Prepare your plants! Exceptionally strong winds have been forecasted for tonight and tomorrow. Be sure your plants are watered thoroughly down into the roots. You don't need to water the foliage, but DO be sure your plant's roots are well hydrated.

Run an extra drip irrigation cycle. Water your containers thoroughly. If hand watering, give plants enough to reach their roots. Do not just sprinkle the surface.

When winds are strong, the plant works hard to keep up its transpiration rate where it pulls water from its roots and releases it through its leaves. If the root is not holding enough water to keep up with what it is losing through its leaves, wilting occurs.

Stay Safe!!

We still have a few openings for this class.

This is the perfect month of the year to add a new system, or repair or augment an old one. Be ready for Fall, Winter, & Spring irrigation.

The humidity will soon drop and the rains will rest. Many folks forget to pick up the watering schedule. I receive more calls in October about dying plants than any other month ... because people have become dependent upon the rain and do not realize that watering needs to be resumed quickly.

The temps will become more pleasant for working outdoors!
Learn to build new, maintain, add to, repair, or replace a home irrigation system. It can be so simple!
Drip Irrigation:
1. Saves Water
2. Saves Money
3. Saves Time
4. Most important? Greatly improves the Health and Performance of your plants. You'll be amazed!

We'll also talk about proper irrigation and the importance and approach to winter irrigation.

Workshop fee of $10.00 may be paid cash or check at the door.
Any proceeds benefit the Discovery Gardens at UA Sierra Vista and also help support our Educational Outreach Programs.

Questions? Please call 520-559-7078
You'll be so happy you know how to do this yourself !
