Lavenders grown in the mountains of Arizona are grouped into six main types: English, French, Spanish, Sweet, Fern leaf, and Lavandin. There are others, but these are the most robust and popular varieties found seasonally at Watters. You will find many types at Watters now, but more detail, photos, and purchase options are linked to each variety.

The colors stun gardeners in their tracks. Thousands of roses are offered at Watters Garden Center in dozens and dozens of fragrances. Choosing the perfect one can be overwhelming, but not after this read.

Plant experts are hard at developing new hues and colors while improving the vigor and brilliance of garden roses. From the calm vibes of an all-white garden to the contrast of the color wheel to the free-spirited look of a cottage garden, there is a rose color to suit everyone.

Spring trees begin to bloom this issue. Trees are noble works of nature, and we are humbled by their greatness while walking through the redwoods of California or admiring the massive structure of a Texas oak. Often, inspiration is as simple as pulling under the cool shade of an eastern tree-lined street. We are amazed at the majesty of the trees. We feel this every spring and wonder if everyone feels the same.
