• With the sun rising later and setting sooner, plus the fact it is not a million degrees outside, it could mean that fall is on the horizon, at least in Tucson.
  That also means this is your chance to jazz up your landscape or grow plants to later attract critters like butterflies and hummingbirds when they bloom.
  So it's time to get down and dirty because there several local Fall plant sales going on around town. 
  Here is a list of some of our upcoming fall plant sales:
