February Garden Maintenance

Stella Calvert, Master Gardener

It's time to shear back ornamental grasses before the new growth begins. Cut back to about 1 foot high. The new growth will rapidly conceal the trimmed portion of the plant.

Winter Watering

If our winter rains remain weak, deep water established native trees and shrubs every three to four weeks to maintain plant vigor and discourage pests that prey on drought stressed plants. Non-native plants water according to each individual plant's needs, especially deep watering for all trees. Read more »

Polar Plunge at The Lakes a Success!

Saturday, January 28

Polar Plunge photo thumbnail thumbnail thumbnail thumbnail thumbnail thumbnail

Saturday's Polar Plunge, sponsored by The Lakes Women's Club, was a big success and raised over $4,000 for Arizona Special Olympics. Lots of volunteers helped make the event a fun fund raiser!

Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman and several Tempe city council members attended and took the plunge along with over one hundred participants including several from The Lakes.

The event fee was $20 and included a cool t-shirt and bragging rights since the Plunge process calls for participants to take the plunge into an unheated pool. The Lakes pool was left unheated for three days and was at a chilly 64 degrees at 9 AM Saturday morning.

Thank you LWC Polar Plunge Chair Denise Rentschler and to all the volunteers who helped make this inaugural event a hit!
