New Local Resource Helps High Desert Gardeners Turn Black Thumbs Green

PRESCOTT, AZ – February 23, 2026 – Gardening in the mountains is a reward all its own, but for newcomers, our rocky soil and dry air can be a tough nut to crack. To help every neighbor succeed, LearnToGarden.org has officially launched as a free resource designed to take the guesswork out of your backyard.

Sponsored by McKenzie Lain and the team at Watters Garden Center, this non-profit service delivers timely, local expertise directly to your inbox. "Gardening is all about working with nature’s rhythm," says McKenzie Lain. "When you get the timing right on your Austrian Pines or Winter Gems Boxwoods, the results are immediate."

Over 12,000 local members already enjoy monthly planting calendars, "Mountain Gardener" videos, and expert newsletters. New members even receive the ‘Javalina – The Garden Survival Guide’ to keep those desert visitors at bay. Join the community at LearnToGarden.org and let's grow something beautiful together.
