Arizona gardens face some of the toughest growing conditions in the country: blazing sun, dry air, and minimal rainfall. Drought-resistant plants not only survive but flourish, offering vibrant color, texture, and structure while conserving water and reducing maintenance. From hardy succulents and cacti to resilient shrubs and perennials, these species handle heat and dry soil with ease, making them ideal for front yards, backyards, and desert-inspired gardens.

Arizona yards can feel wide open, and that lack of privacy becomes more noticeable once outdoor spaces get more use. Fast growth sounds like the answer, but not every shrub keeps up under intense sun and dry conditions. The difference shows when the right shrubs go in from the start. Structure builds sooner, coverage looks fuller, and the yard begins to feel more enclosed without constant replacement or extra work.

How did the Sun City communities get their name? Before the grand opening of the first Sun City in Arizona a contest was held to name the community through a national advertising campaign. Legend says that Mr. Webb himself selected the name. The winner won a fully built home. The Britton’s from Eugene, Oregon were the creative winners with the name “Sun City.”

To learn more about the history of the original Sun City communities, visit the Del Webb Sun Cities museum, in the original model home in Sun City, AZ at 10801 W Oakmont Drive. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday 12-3.

As discussed during last week’s Live Virtual First Friday event, a recent Arizona Court of Appeals decision immediately impacts how community association boards conduct meetings. Understandably, we have received a number of follow-up questions, so we have prepared a short video and written summary (including sample agendas) to walk through the key takeaways and practical implications.
- To watch the video, now available on our firm’s YouTube channel, click here: https://youtu.be/KltVIA1xtic.
- To read our summary of AZNH Revocable Trust v. Sunland Springs Village Homeowners Association, click here: https://www.mulcahylawfirm.com/new-arizona-case-changes.../.
On April 28, 2026, the Arizona Court of Appeals issued a published opinion in AZNH Revocable Trust v. Sunland Springs Village Homeowners Association. This decision is effective immediately and applies to all Arizona HOAs and condominium associations.
This case significantly changes how boards must conduct meetings:
- Boards can no longer vote or make final decisions in executive/closed session
- Executive/closed session is now only for “discussion only” of topics outlined by A.R.S. § 33-1804(A) / § 33-1248(A) (ex: legal advice, violations, collections, personnel, etc.)
- Executive/closed session agendas must now describe the topic (not just “legal advice” or a statute citation)
- All Board decisions must now be made in an open board meeting with a proper notice and agenda
- Boards must list all action items on the open meeting agenda
Our firm recommends that boards vote at their next open meeting to approve a process for agenda preparation, such as authorizing the association’s president to prepare agendas for both executive and open board meetings.
As always, our firm stands ready to assist your board and answer questions regarding this new case law.

From the start in 1960, the idea of a Sun Cities style active retirement changed the whole concept of retirement life. Retirement quickly became an opportunity to experience new things and live life to the fullest. These early Sun City, AZ residents in 1963 were learning to dive into the pool at the Town Hall Recreation Center (now Fairway Rec Center). The instructor is in the middle, an experienced competitive diver, and his two students were new Sun Citians. All three were early residents of the three year old original Sun City. New adventures, a new way of life, and a totally new outlook on retirement.

To learn more about the history of the original Sun City communities, visit the Del Webb Sun Cities Museum at 10801 W Oakmont in Sun City. AZ. We are in the first model home. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday 12-3.
