About

A garden that works with the weather

Maguire Native Gardens is a four-person crew in Tucson. We plant the Sonoran Desert's own plants and shape the ground so storm water stays where roots can use it.

Kristen Maguire started the firm after years of watching new yards lose their plants to a bad first summer. She still walks every site herself, and she writes the estimates.
