Desert Gardens

Season 4 Episode 11

High temperatures, poor soil and aridity make gardening in the Sonoran Desert a difficult, but not impossible task. Learn about kitchen (backyard) gardens, which produce a surprising amount of food in the region with lower water use compared to commercial agricultural farms. This program offers suggestions for kinds of plants which will attract birds.
