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!!

There are a lot of things that make this nursery special: 1. Jeff is truly a succulent expert--he spent several years in the botany department at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum where he was responsible for a lot of beautiful planters and gardens. 2. Jeff grows all of his plants from seeds, outside, so you can be confident that anything you purchase will be successful in the Tucson climate. 3. Jeff has a great eye for color and shape. He builds his inventory by journeying around the Southwestern US in AZ and CA. He has a beautifully curated selection of plants that are arid-adapted and won't over-burden the water supply. 4. Jeff takes the time to teach you how to care for your new plant. You can trust his advice! I'm normally a plant killer, but thanks to Jeff I've kept a pot of bushop's caps alive for six months now. This is unprecedented! I recommend this nursery to people looking for a few potted succulents, as well as those looking to landscape their yard in true Southwestern fashion.

We were still browsing all of the beautiful, well-cared for plants and sent him on his way. About 10 minutes later, we had some questions about specific varieties and waved him down. He was happy to help us and very knowledgeable. Plants selected, we saw two pots we might want to purchase, but price tags had gone missing. The team member tracked down the price for them and, when we decided to purchase them, loaded them onto our cart. Checkout was a breeze, and the same helpful team member helped load everything in to our car. The lovely Julia Child roses now are next to my patio in the pretty pots. We were given thorough care instructions, and I anticipate enjoying their beautiful scented blooms all season.
