Hi, my name is Amber and I’m so glad to be a part of your gardening journey. Whether you’re brand new to gardening or have been gardening for years, I hope you find the resources on this site of value.
Welcome to PHX – Phoenix Gardening!
Your Arizona desert gardening resource! Phoenix (PHX) Gardening has been on the web for over 14 years. I created the website to record what I planted, where I planted it, and how well the plant did in gardening zone 9. Phoenix Gardening is a place to share gardening successes, failures and to help foster the love of gardening.
First Time Visitors
If it’s your first time here all of the information may be overwhelming, so I created this page to share some of our most popular information:
Where I Garden:
I currently garden in a suburban lot in Arizona, USDA gardening zone 9. I grow all of our vegetables and herbs using the raised bed gardening system. Arizona is where I have spent the majority of my gardening years. For a few years I had a garden in gardening zone 5 where I planted vegetables, herbs, lilacs, about a hundred tulips and dozens of hyacinths.
My love for gardening started at an early age. My favorite memories are in my grandma’s garden and in the community garden plot we had when I was a child. What I’ve learned is from my mom and grandma and otherwise largely self-taught through trial and error and reading lots of books.
To increase my gardening knowledge I have completed the University of Arizona Master Gardener’s course, as well as college courses on herbal remedies & aromatherapy.
Favorites to Grow:
My favorite vegetables to grow are tomatoes and peppers. I also love planting herbs and integrating them with edible flowers. Everything taste better with fresh herbs.
Whether you live in the desert, the coast or anywhere in between gardening is a universally loved hobby. If you’re starting your first garden, leveling up your garden skills, or just looking for garden inspiration our goal is to provide you with resources to successfully grow your own food and flowers in your Arizona garden.
Happy Gardening!
