DESERT WELCOME SPACES THAT REVIVE AND HARMONIZE TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL AND SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPES
Let's face it, it's hot! For Deborah Pella-Smith, creator of Dare to be Desert Garden & Design, it's important to create outdoor spaces that can not only survive the record heat but look good, too. Our designs incorporate cactus and pollinator-friendly, low water use plants to naturally connect your private yard space to the Sonoran Desert outside. Let us transform your landscape into an enjoyable and sustainable garden!
