A unique out-of-the-way nursery that has an amazing selection of plants for the southwest. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and super helpful. They provide care instructions for all of their plants and the place itself is a beautiful garden.

Super friendly and helpful folks! I've been here a couple times while passing through town and I love stopping by and checking out their selection. They even helped me pack a little succulent carefully so I could take it back with me on a plane 😁 (and if you like Lithops you definitely need to visit!)

WOW. This place is like a botanical garden meets nursery: huge variety of unusual desert hardy plants. Anthony and Gene are great to talk with about care etc of any of the plants. I didn’t plan on getting anything because I had to fly home, but ended up flying home with a plant in my lap

I have bought all of my desert plants from this place for more than 35 years! They have a great variety of healthy plants that thrive in the desert. The other big plus is that the owners really know about how to care for all of their plants—probably the best informed in Tucson! If you’re a plant lover and care to raise sustainable desert-loving interesting plants, this is the place!
