“Watering is the most challenging part of desert gardening, and a well-designed, functional irrigation system can make it all much less frustrating, and a whole lot prettier!”

Susan Rush

Susan Rush has had a passion for gardening for over forty years, with fifteen of those in the Phoenix-area nursery industry. After learning that over seventy-five percent of the local population is from outside the state, it was clear that few of these folks had any idea how to garden in a desert. The cost to them was to feel the frustration from misinformation, misdirection, and financial loss due to regularly replacing dead plants.

Gardening in a desert is like “gardening on the moon”, says Sue, “it requires forgetting everything you know about gardening anywhere else and starting from scratch.” Helping her clients do exactly that has led to Sue’s business, Soul to Soil, for gardening, education, and consulting.

You’ll learn what plants you have and how to water and care for them so that they don’t just survive, but thrive. Topics will include soil improvement, step-by-step watering information, plant identification, and placement, the importance of sun and shade exposures, fertilizing, seasonal pruning and planting, and plant problem-solving. Also passionate about organic gardening, Sue is happy to guide you in how to improve your garden’s health using only organic methods.

“Nothing is more beneficial or critical to your garden’s success than proper watering,” says Sue. “I’m thrilled to be working with Water Wise Sprinkler Repair.
