SUMMARY:The Easy-Care Summer Desert Container Garden
DESCRIPTION:@ 			\n			\n							 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign Up for This Class\n\n$36 Non-Member / $29 Member \n\n\n\n\nIncluding KISS Designs from Marylee\, The Desert’s Potted Garden Expert \nCreate a container garden full of brightly colored flowers and lovely plants that are easy to care for and last a long season. In this class\, Marylee will share her recommendations for reliable and easy-care plants that will last through the summer (with appropriate water and care.) The bonus in this class is that when the summer flowers are ready for your compost heap\, you will know what to replace them with and save money by not replacing everything. \nMarylee’s book\, “Getting Potted in the Desert\,” is available for purchase in the TBG Gift Shop or can be shipped to your home by calling Christine at 520-326-9686. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor \nMarylee Pangman\n\n\nMarylee Pangman founded The Contained Gardener in 1998 as a niche business in the desert community of Tucson\, Arizona.   \nSince then\, Marylee has been compelled to share all that she has learned about container gardening over 20 years of blistering summers and record breaking winters.  Marylee sees container gardening as a way to have an oasis garden while conserving water as the demands of pots are far less than heavily planted areas and beds.  You can find Marylee’s book\, “Getting Potted in the Desert” at the Garden’s Gift Shop.  This excellent resource includes a month-by-month planning guide\, ideas for creating and caring for potted gardens\, advice on container selection\, and much more. https://thepotteddesert.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming Classes\n\n\n\n\n					\n\nClasses\, Nature & Ecology \n\n								Cacti of Arizona			\nApril 14 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm \n \n \n\n\n					\n\n2150 Club \n\n								Tending Tucson April			\nApril 15 @ 8:30 am – 10:30 am \n \n \n\n\n					\n\nFamily \n\n				Full 				Tucson Botanical Garden’s Mini-Master LEGO® Competition Sponsored by Bricks and Minifigs Tucson			\nApril 15 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm \n \n \n\n\n					\n\nClasses \n\n								Backyard Chickens: Housing\, Breeds\, and Husbandry			\nApril 17 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

SUMMARY:Wednesday Art Talk with Barbara Rogers
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Tucson icon\, Barbara Rogers brings us into her creative world – sharing her personal and professional history and how through art we can all transcend the ordinary. \n “I paint because the act of painting is direct; it is another truth – you make a mark and there it is\, just you and this act of creation. When I paint\, I am an explorer in the terrain of my own psyche\, discovering what relationships will emerge as the work develops. I depart from representational accuracy to select and then exaggerate or simplify the stunning botanical forms that are present in the world around me.” \n \n Barbara studied with Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff at the San Francisco Art Institute. She graduated with a B.SC. degree in Art Education from Ohio State University; she received the Eisner Prize and her MA in Painting from the University of California at Berkeley. \nBarbara Rogers has been a faculty member or visiting artist at many major universities in the US and internationally\, including the University of California\, Berkeley; the San Francisco Art Institute; University of Chicago; San Jose State University; Cooper Union in NYC; and finally at the University of Arizona.  In 2007\, after numerous mentoring and teaching awards\, Rogers retired and is now Professor Emeritus of Painting and Drawing in The School of Art at The University of Arizona in Tucson\, AZ. \nFree with Admission \n \nImage: Barbara Rogers | Shrines to Botanical Relics no. 22 | oil on panel with saguaro cross-section and glass
