It’s Friday! If one of the items on your weekend to do list is to revamp your landscaping, you might want to consider signing up for the next Smartscape class from the University of Arizona’s Cooperative Extension. The class teaches landscapers and homeowners how to choose a landscape for their home that will thrive in our area and save water and money.

Speaking of plants, did you know that the type of plant a bee collects its nectar from can change the taste of the honey its hive produces? All of the different crops and native plants in the area add a unique taste to honey produced in Pinal County. You can learn more about how local honey producers are using that knowledge and helping out local farmers in our area.

And after all that hard work outdoors, you might want to track down some of the best food in Maricopa. Coast 2 Coast BBQ and Poor Sam’s Italian Beef were recently nominated as two of the three best food trucks in Maricopa in our Creme de la Copa contest. We talked with the owners to find out what makes their food so delicious.
