Chatty, When my mother and step-father moved to the desert of Arizona, he took classes from the local arid gardening club, and learned how to grow plants that thrive in the desert.

At the same time, he installed a drip sprinkler system in their garden and actually grew beautiful roses.

They just sold their house last month, and I am sure part of the reason the buyers chose it over any of the many other homes they could have selected in that community was the garden. Another reason was the beautiful view of the mountains... The new owners are coming from Michigan, and are gardeners. So I am positive the work my step-father did on the garden impressed them.

Bottom line: You CAN grow stuff in the desert. I wonder if you have an arid gardening club in Las Vegas?
