In 1995, AMWUA and the Arizona Nursery Association (ANA), with additional funding from the Arizona Department of Water Resources, developed and launched a program to provide education and marketing tools for local nurseries in order to better assist their customers in selecting appropriate low-water-use plants.

The effort included workshops for nursery personnel, an educational video called "Seasons of Beauty," and a series of flyers, each featuring a particular species of native or desert-adapted plants. The flyers were distributed to participating nurseries to distribute at no charge to their customers. Every month featured a different species.
