October in the Desert Southwest is the beginning of our high season of entertainment and activities. Begin ing Monday Oct. 12 the Tucson Botanical Gardens will have their annual Butterfly Magic exhibit. See hundreds of butterflies from around the world in the greenhouse. It will run through April 4 2010 price includes admission to the gardens for more information www.tucsonbotanical.org .
This is the month to prepare your flower beds for spectacular winter and spring displays. Over the next few weeks garden clubs will be having plant sales and demonstrations. Look for sales of bulbs, tubers, and my favorite Iris rhizomes for early spring blooming. It is also cooling enough in Tucson to get the wild flower seeds out, with an early planting you could have some blooms in Feb.
October is known for Halloween throughout the country but here in Tucson we also celebrate the Mexican tradition Dia de los Muertos. The day of the dead is to honor your departed and celebrated Nov.1st All Saints Day. The Tohono Chul Park beginning the weekend is having an exhibit of Dia de los Muertos Art running through All Saints Day Admission will get you in to the exhibit and the desert gardens www.tohonochupark.org for more information.
