    Wow! So many cactus! Staff are wonderful and have a wealth of knowledge. Not only cactus, but lots of pots and knickknacks. Prices are reasonable and all plants are healthy. Must check out this cactus nursery.

    More cacti in their research tent, these are not for sale

    Bach's is heaven on earth for any succulent lovers! I recently visited for the first time to purchase some succulents for my home and I was blown away by how expansive their nursery is. My mother is a frequent Bach's visitor so she showed me around, starting with their research tent. It was so incredible to see so many well-cared for cacti, some types of of which I'd never seen before. My favorite was the Mother of Hundreds. Next we visited their retail tent, it is full of so many succulents and all are well labeled. I was blown away by how reasonable their pricing is, not only on succulents, but on their pots as well. All of the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and helped with questions we had regarding plant care. I left with four succulents, three of which I purchased pots for. They offer repotting service at no additional charge for plants that you purchase pots for, so I had three of mine repotted. They came out beautifully and have made wonderful additions to my home. I can't wait to visit Bach's again! They have been my favorite nursery I've ever visited and I highly recommend supporting their business if you're looking to add some succulents to your home!

    Huge selection of cacti and other plants and everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a lot of little 2 inch cactus and succulents, this is the best priced place to buy them.

    absolutely wonderful place! they had a huge selection with several sections of each variety scattered throughout. Chris made sure to help us find exactly what we were looking for (a decent sized San Pedro); it ended up being a great price for the size and quality we got. even though we live an hour away, the drive was definitely worth it :)

    Woo hoo!

    Our final plant stop and it was a memorable one. We got here before close! EXPERIENCE: Parking: It gets a little tricky, you make an immediate turn but just follow the instruction signs to lead you to the designated parking spot. Feels: The spot is pretty isolated and hidden so you have to keep your eyes peeled to turn on the street. Plants: Great choices! Multiple greenhouses with multiple variations and sizes from babies, mid-size, to full grown. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Awesome! Friendly and knowledgeable people. OVERALL: 5 Stars. Probably out of all our spots, this was one of the top spots. Great selections and reasonable prices. Looking forward to come back here for more plants! Tips: - They close on time so be sure to give yourself some exploration and selection time.

    "Spike Jr", in his new home.

    I'm a happy camper "stuck" on "Bach's Cactus Nursery in NW Tucson... They are amazing ! About 45 years ago, shortly after they opened, I bought a small Saguaro Cactus, and named it "Spike." We have bought several other items plants and pots since then, but I'll continue to tell you about Spike. He (or she) was with us for 40 years, was moved to different states several times, and finally got too big for his britches...the concrete pot he grew up in. By this time Spike was several feet tall, and finally, after my wife died and I was away working in Siberia, and not there to take care of Spike, he died and toppled over on the floor one day. While in Tucson last month, I bought a new, 12" tall Saguaro Cactus and had it shipped across the country to my home. "Spike Junior" will now grow up in the same big Concrete Pot, and this time, I will try to take better and more consistent care to ensure Spike Jr. has a long, healthy life... may out live me be a century or two. . So, if you want a huge variety of cacti and absolute fantastic service, go to Bach's Cactus Nursery at 8602 N Thornydale Rd Tucson, AZ 85742, The best place I know for a great Cactus.. RDJeffress

    Rows of cacti!

    I have been to a lot of nurseries all over town and I think I can confidently say that Bach's is my favorite, especially for all things cactus! Their prices can be almost half of other plant nurseries and big box stores, plus they are in much better condition. In addition, they are BEYOND helpful. They know exactly what you are talking about when you come in! We were looking specifically a King Ferdinand agave. We went to another nursery in town who was trying to give us a Queen Victoria agave. While similar, they are different! And typically a little harder to come by. And have different characteristics as they grow. They ask if you want the care instructions and explain everything super well so you can keep your cacti healthy and happy! If you are looking for succulents or cactus, THIS IS THE PLACE. 10/10.

We finally settled on Acacia because of how very helpful the gentleman was when we stopped by. He explained several options and pros and cons of each and gave us a quote immediately. After further discussion we decided to proceed with the project and stopped by to make our payment. (We had priced out the same plant at 3 other locations which ranged anywhere from 3-7 dollars more expensive, PER plant!) We met with one of the new owners who was absolutely great to work with. She answered all of our questions and even let our dog hang in the office with us while we checked out. (I'm a sucker for any dog lovers!) The two gentleman who delivered our large order were thourough, experienced and extremely helpful!! They even got a pesky oleander out we had been fighting with for a few weeks!! We will only be using Acacia going forward due to their stellar customer assistance, knowledge, and price. Highly recommended!!
