A Fall For All Autumn in Tucson is truly the time when we fall for our environs all over again. We certainly appreciate our outdoor lifestyle, and our ability to enjoy everything from quiet meditation to a full-on party on the patio. As our cover demonstrates, views can make a great backyard even more spectacular. This patio was one of the winning entries in the ASID Design Excellence Awards, Arizona South Chapter. See all the winning designs starting on page 51. Gardening is a complementary passion for many homeowners. To learn more from the pros, check out the Master Gardener Home Garden Tour, which we preview on page 22. And speaking of gardens, Tucson Botanical Gardens (TBG) is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month. Read about TBG’s roots beginning on page 24. Whether you are planning indoor or outdoor projects, you may want to check out the SAHBA Home & Garden Show, taking place Oct. 16-19 at the Tucson Convention Center. See the official show guide in this issue. And start planning for the holiday season with a visit to the 18th annual Sensational Settings, held Oct. 26 at the JCC. Meet three of the participating table designers on page 16. Debby Larsen, Editor
