 WHAT'S NEW?
 

Illene Hurley

Harlow's recently became acquainted with local artist Illene Hurley. Her vivid florals, including the one pictured here, are painted on sturdy yet lightweight metal and specifically created for the outdoors. You can find them displayed and for sale under the pavilion in our Garden Center.
Greetings! 

It happens to be a particularly cold, rainy, and windy day as this newsletter gets started--kind of a lazy day that makes you want to stay indoors and get cozy. But this is Tucson, however; we know sunny skies will soon return along with refreshing new plans and ideas for the gardening season ahead. And we're eager to get started because January has a lot going on at Harlow Gardens!
 
If roses are your thing, we welcome you to attend free classes in our garden center over the course of two weekends this month. We'll follow this up with our semi-annual We're Lonely Sale January 22-25. Read on for details, and best wishes for a very Happy New Year!
Landscaping, Installation, Maintenance
landscape designMany people come to Harlow Gardens for quality plants from our garden center, to visit the terrific gift shop, or to purchase a one-of-a-kind art piece created by a local artist. But many satisfied customers have also benefited from our masterful landscape designers and the vital teams that pull it all together. The benefits of landscaping are plentiful! If you've been thinking about the pros and cons of finally realizing your dream of enjoying a beautiful new landscape or adding a fresh touch to an existing design, please contact us. Together we can work toward implementing the features, beauty, and comfort you have in mind at an expense and maintenance schedule you are comfortable with.
 
In addition to landscape design and enhancements, Harlow's offers a wide range of landscape services including tree removals, pruning, cabling, and bracing; trimming and regular cleanups; quarterly maintenance programs; fertilization; tree, shrub, flower planting; and insurance appraisals and written reports.
 
Our colleagues and valued customers have come to rely on Harlow Gardens for a standard of excellence and honesty in Tucson for 70 years now (see customer testimonials). We promise to uphold our commitment to you as we move into the New Year and the next 70 years.
