AZ Plant Lady

AZ Plant Lady is the gardening brand of Noelle Johnson, a horticulturist, landscape consultant, and garden writer who helps people create and care for beautiful landscapes in hot, dry climates. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, the brand offers practical guidance for gardeners who want more than rocks and cactus, showing how to grow colorful, thriving gardens while using water wisely. Its resources cover plant selection, garden design, desert soils, seasonal planting, and care for trees, shrubs, groundcovers, vines, perennials, roses, succulents, and edible plants.

AZ Plant Lady provides online education through Desert Gardening 101 and the Through the Garden Gate membership, which includes monthly content, live group coaching, and a community of gardeners. Noelle also offers consultations, classes, and speaking services, alongside a blog with advice on topics such as growing vegetables in the desert. Her books, Dry Climate Gardening and The Water-Smart Garden, explore drought-adapted planting, water conservation, irrigation, rainwater use, and landscape design.
