Give 'Petey Mesquite' 4 minutes, he'll give you Arizona's flora, fauna
TUCSON — For 34 years and counting, Peter Gierlach has strived to get radio listeners as excited as he is about Arizona’s native plants and animals. He has four minutes a week to do it. Through Tucson community-supported station KXCI-FM 91.3, he pours into listeners' ears, often with theatrical style, scientific plant names, anecdotes, ecology lessons, poetry, humor and even sometimes an accordion tune. The show is called “Growing Native with Petey Mesquite,” a radio persona he created in 1992 and one that is now impossible to disassociate from Gierlach. Born back east but rooted in the Sonoran Desert and Arizona’s Sky Islands since 1967, Gierlach became a big influence in the nursery world and among native plant enthusiasts, and his unique audio storytelling resonates with old and new desert lovers. He practically stumbled into plant propagation looking for a day wage after his time as a lead singer with a Tucson country rock band called Dusty Chaps came to a “sad ending” in 1978. It was over a decade later that he looked for a spot at KXCI; a four-minute opening was all they had at the time, and he took it. Plenty of interesting people approach the radio
