PRESCOTT, ARIZONA · 2026
The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension trains Master Gardeners for one purpose: to bring research-based knowledge back to the communities they call home. What you see in these photos is that mission fulfilled — in every garden opened, every question answered, and every seed of curiosity planted in a willing heart.
See all 125 photosThe Learn from the Masters 2026 Prescott Area Garden Tour was an education-filled event unlike any other. The precious gems of the tour — the Master Gardeners themselves — were given the chance to truly shine, sharing their knowledge, their passion, and in many cases, their own gardens with an eager and grateful community. Put on by the Yavapai County Master Gardeners in cooperation with the University of Arizona, this was a day that reminded us all why we grow.
These 125 photographs are our snapshots in time. We hope you feel the warmth, the wonder, and the deep community pride that filled every garden on this extraordinary day.

Special thanks to Kayla Garretson Photography for capturing these moments, and to the entire 2026 Prescott Area Garden Tour Committee for the countless hours put in to bring this opportunity to our community. This was certainly not the average garden tour and we are so proud of our Prescott Area Master Gardeners, sponsors, donors, City of Prescott, advertising partners, and the like. It truly took the entire team to make this possible.
Cheers to an unforgettable experience!
