Jeff Reich (wet clay) and Farraday Newsome (glazing), Queen of the Night, glazed terra cotta bowl, 3.5 x 11.5 x 11.5” This collaborative piece by Jeff Reich and Farraday Newsome will be included in the upcoming exhibition Queen of the Night at the Tohono Chul Gallery.

Our Arroyo Sweetwood (Myrospermum sousanum) is blooming! The flowers and wood of this highly scented small tree are redolent of vanilla-cinnamon, giving it its other common name: “cinnamon-toast tree”. It’s a rare tree, only discovered and catalogued in the 1980‘s, and native to regions of the Mexico-Texas border.

As the days get hotter in the Sonoran desert, evening is the time to be outside. Here’s a view of one of our trails with Senita Cacti (Pachycereus schottii) and a blooming yucca lit by the low, golden evening sun.

Indigo Street Pottery Kitchen Garden

Summer is coming! The warmer weather means it’s fruit season - we’re picking apricots, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers now, and it won’t be long until cucumbers, figs, apples, plums and nectarines are ripe. Summers are hard here, so it’s great to have something delicious in the garden!

GVG Contemporary, 241 Delgado St. (corner of Canyon Rd & Delgado St), Santa Fe, NM

When: June 9 - July 23, 2017

Where: Tohono Chul Gallery, Tohono Chul Park, 7366 North Paseo del Norte, Tucson, AZ

Like the Arroyo Sweetwood, our native Desert Ironwood trees (Olneya tesota) are members of the legume family (Fabacea). Most of the common, native Sonoran Desert trees are in the legume family. Legumes have a distinct advantage here in the desert where soil tends to be low in nitrogen, an element necessary for plant growth: all legumes harbor nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root systems that supply the tree with excess nitrates (nitrogen).
