Beth Covert's life is one big experiment.  Before leaving her artist career and moving here from Ohio six years ago, Beth studied up on desert gardening. On arrival, she became the garden department manager at a local retailer.  When her suggestions to stock climate appropriate plants went nowhere, she started High&Dry GardenWorks, her own lab for propagating plants that can thrive with limited water, excessive sun and wind, and deer.  Under High&Dry, Beth is rehabbing her non-irrigated 10 acres with natives,  maintaining her “Wildlife Habitat” and “Pollinator Pathway” certifications, and building bluebird nesting boxes.  Beth says High&Dry is about making a difference, by sharing her failures as well as her successes.  Beth is an expert at food preservation, and her pantry is proof positive!
