Celebrate Art Town
Gardening in the high desert of northern Nevada is a unique and creative endeavor, blending the harsh beauty of the arid landscape with vibrant, life-giving greenery. The challenges presented by the high desert—such as extreme temperatures, limited water, and nutrient-poor soil—require gardeners to adopt innovative techniques and artistic approaches. Each garden becomes a canvas, with plants selected and arranged to not only survive but thrive in this demanding environment. The juxtaposition of drought-tolerant plants, colorful wildflowers, and resilient succulents against the stark desert backdrop creates a living masterpiece that evolves with the seasons.
Gardeners in the high desert craft spaces that are both functional and beautiful, honoring the natural world while infusing their personal creativity. The result is a harmonious blend of nature and art, a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who cultivate these striking desert gardens.
Local Artistry Takes Root
Discover the captivating blend of nature and art with abstract flower sculptures by acclaimed local artist Jeff Schomberg. Renowned for his contributions to Burning Man and iconic downtown Reno installations, Jeff creates stunning works from steel and metal. His abstract designs, inspired by the landscapes and flora of northern Nevada, offer a fresh and striking perspective on nature. These sculptures, built to withstand the elements, provide an eco-conscious and visually powerful addition to any outdoor space. Each unique piece is available for purchase directly from the artist at Moana Nursery.
