When Paige Maloney worked at the Verde Valley Nursery in Fountain Hills, she often fielded the same gardening questions about desert plants.
“How can I tell if my cactus is over-watered?” “Why isn’t my bougainvillea flowering?” “What can I plant around my house to help cool the interior?”
Hearing common questions from customers set Maloney on a path of learning and led her to her work as a landscape designer, helping homeowners and garden lovers with an easy way to take care of their piece of the desert.
