But...after adding new plants, only to watch them struggle, and even die, in the hot, dry desert climate. you are frustrated and overwhelmed.
Am I right?
Maybe this sounds familiar...
You are new to the desert and would like to have an attractive garden filled with colorful plants, but have no idea how start in such a challenging environment.
You have tried growing a number of different plants only to watch them die despite doing your best to care for them.
You are frustrated by paying a landscaper to care for your landscape as they don't seem to do much more than "mow, blow, and go" and they turn your flowering shrubs into balls, cupcakes, and squares.
Perhaps you are feeling frustrated at the lack of credible gardening information specific for the desert gardener.
In the midst of increasing drought and rising temperatures, your plants and landscape may not be adapted or suitable to handle these stressful conditions.
We need to create resilient gardens that can thrive in the desert while adding beauty to our outdoor space.

Pleasure to meet you!
Hi! I'm Noelle Johnson.
- You may know me better as 'AZ Plant Lady', horticulturist, landscape consultant, and author of the book, Dry Climate Gardening.
- I've built a successful career as a landscape consultant and instructor where I help people like you learn how to garden in a challenging climate.
- But, I didn't always know how to garden in the desert - there is a long trail of dead plants in my past to prove it. I killed just about everything I planted. However, I knew that there had to be a way to learn how and I was determined to figure it out.
- After learning my degree in horticulture and a 25+ year career, I have been helping desert dwellers learn how to be successful in creating their own landscape in a hot, dry climate.
- Since then, I've worked with the Associated Press, the Desert Botanical Garden, Houzz, NPR, PBS, Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine, Tucson Botanical Gardens, and the folks at Water Use It Wisely.
- All, to help people just like you garden in the desert.
IMAGINE if you could...
- Have a beautiful landscape filled with color and texture that thrives in a hot, dry climate?
- Know what plants will do best in the desert along with how to care for them?
- Prune your trees and shrubs with confidence - no more 'balls', 'squares', or 'cupcake'-shaped shrubs!
- Know how often to water your plants each season for your area?
- Save time, frustration, and money in the desert landscape?
There is a way to equip yourself with the tools and knowledge to create, grow, and maintain a beautiful outdoor space filled with plants that thrive in the desert...WITHOUT a lot of fuss.

Here are additional testimonials from students of DG 101:
I'm now becoming the expert I was looking for!
My recent move to the desert opened my eyes to the challenges of gardening in a climate so different. I asked a lot of questions, yet so many folks had little knowledge.
I jumped on board to take DG 101 immersing myself in the wealth of knowledge and experience from Noelle, giving me the guidance I needed to take the plunge into my desert garden. The course is beautifully organized and communicated.
- ELIZABETH GARREN
I knew the course would be invaluable and it 100% has been!
I'm new to the desert and held off working on the landscaping because the climate varies so differently from where I'm from. There were so many options and I didn't know what was the right choice.
The information in the class on shrubs and the types of plants that thrive in our climate, watering, common mistakes, and design tips have been so empowering! As a board member, I've been able to help my HOA to help items they needed to take action on.
- VICKY C.
Thank you! I actually enjoy the outdoors again. Wow!
I love the work you are doing teaching our class. I was ready to give up a few months ago even though I love beautiful outdoor spaces. I was so frustrated with snakes and rabbits and mystery plant maladies...but that module was a turning point for me.
Now that I've gone through the class, my interest has returned because I know what will work. So, Noelle, thank you!
- LINDA WELLS
I loved the Desert Gardening 101 course!
I've lived in Phoenix for over 20 years and have experimented with many plants during that time. It was always a "wait and see" experiment to see how they did. With all the knowledge I gained during this course, I now know what will and won't work and why. I learned more than I thought I would.
- M. FALLEK
I have learned SO much!
I am a new resident of the desert and know little to nothing about gardening in the beautiful Sonoran desert.
I found AZ Plant Lady online and she has been wonderful! I signed up for Desert Gardening 101 and have learned so much. Highly recommend!
- CITA STELZER
Well worth the cost of this course.
I have been an avid gardener in this harshest of climates for over 20 years. While I am an experienced gardener, I have learned new things within Desert Gardening 101. Well worth the modest cost of this course.
