All those little creatures have sought refuge from the desert in your amazing garden.

SO inspiring! We now have 105-114-degree summers here in the suburbs of Austin, Texas. So much hotter than it used to be. My cannas even struggle. THANK YOU for showing it is possible to still grow flowers using a rainwater cache system. I would love to see how your garden evolved to this day & see more ideas. I certainly need more inspiration from you, gardening in these conditions. Thank you!

[@juneramirez8580]

Your secret garden would be my dream come true! All the beautiful colors and textures! One day my garden may mimic yours! Thank you for showing it to us.

[@mmp495]

Maury your secret garden shows all the love and care you have poured into it. It must be a delight to sit, watch and listen to all the wildlife and relaxing running water. Thank you for sharing its beauty with us. ❤🌵

[@beckysatter2373]

Maury, you are so talented! Please keep making videos! So many people are moving there from cooler climates that need some tips are gardening.

[@jamiparrish8806]

Beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing!

[@kenhunt5153]

Great Ocotillo fence. I love the Mexican Poppy. There are few places more interesting and dynamic than the Old Pueblo and the Baja Region of AZ. I would recommend a visit to Tucson's Mission Garden by A Mountain. Well done.

You really have talent to create a beautiful garden, subscribed !

[@trishr.3986]

Beautiful garden! We certainly are not without our challenges in this beautiful desert! I love to sit outside with my plants! I only have a covered patio (apartment living), but the bright light keeps my plants thriving. Of course the dove songs are beautiful music to me. Many Blessings!

Dear Maury, Your youtube was introduced by SY Kim and it was great to see you and know that you are healthy and enjoy your life in Arizona. Luckily I and my family are fine still enjoy walking in the mountain and golfing. I hope to see your youtube more often. Wish you good health and happiness. My best regards, Hoyoung from Seoul.

[@mauricejohnson3849]

HY: so nice to hear from you! Glad you are enjoying life! Retirement is good, isn't it?

[@madisongrant5010]

Garden goals!

[@paulsmith1411]

Just Stupendous

[@rafaelrieck6655]

Wow, was für ein Garten! Da muss aber auch wahnsinnig oft gegossen werden, oder?

[@hollyhold562]

You are a gardener's treasure, Maury!! How far down did you dig to replace the kalichi?

[@TeezieMo]

Amazing garden and your roof rain water system is awesome! How can I get one? Would be very useful here in Phoenix too!

[@mauricejohnson3849]

Oasis water system in Sierra Vista is where I got the rainwater system

[@OfftoShambala]

Love it

[@RVBadlands2015]

Did you make the octotillo fence.

[@RVBadlands2015]

When are you making another video.

[@DesertSingerAZ]

For US viewers... 52 C = 125 F (!)

[@JacobEnglish76]

Whats the purple flowering plant @4:59 ? looking for something like that?

[@lexygv]

“So they attack Mickey Mouse” 😆🤣❤️

[@gracepurcell7825]

YES..what Becky said! Do you do tours or hands-on teaching? I am very new to Tucson and have a blank yard area and not sure where to start? Any suggestions?

[@mauricejohnson3849]

Thanks, Grace! I'm certainly not an expert at gardening in Tucson. I've only been doing this for a few years. You might want to check the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension. They have a program called "Master Gardeners."

[@erikm8372]

So lucky, how you get to have collared lizards and kingsnakes! I want to add both to my home collection at some point. But it looks like you don’t even need an indoor setup or terrarium…just go outside!

[@jgarno100]

Are those verbena bonareinses in your garden?

[@Irrelevant_elephant]

Have javelinas came in your garden?

[@tomkelly00]

this is why my allergies are so bad in the freaking desert...

[@daspicsman]

Very nice!

[@bjbrown]

Beautiful!
