A friend and I came to this little plant nursery for the first time in order to catch their 3rd…read moreSunday Larrea Market. It runs 9a-1p and adds a half-dozen little popup craft/artist tables; live music by a local busker; and a couple of food popups. On this occasion they had a vendor selling covered mini-pretzels, including flavors like: chocolate, cinnamon, and spicy, etc. These were tasty but prohibitively expensive at $5 for about 3/4 cup baggie and $9 for 1-/4 cup. I bought the $9 and we demolished them within the hour. The plant offerings vary in size from 1 gal to 5 gal buckets with a few that are larger. Prices float around those of the big box stores and options consist of all of the desert mainstays. The venue is right on noisy 22nd St but it is quaint and beautiful. Parking is free/easy in their adjacent private lot. Staff are present, helpful, and also unobtrusive. Check their hours first!

I recently called old Pueblo cactus when our beloved saguaro began to appear ill. I received a…read moreprompt response from the reception and sent out the field manager within days. Jalon was wealth of knowledge in regard to the saguaros health. Unfortunately I got the bad news that it wasn't looking good for my cactus. However, Old Pueblo Cactus offers removal service and they sell a large variety of cacti as a replacement. Jalon, the field service manager offered us different options at different price points for something to go in its place. They can place extremely large saguaros (with multiple arms) either by truck or crane if it is in a difficult to access area. They will arrange the crane service and take care of everything. We may have underestimated how much time then saguaro had, And it ended up falling over on its own, almost like it knew we were planning a removal! So, we actually didn't not end up having to cut it down. They have a beautiful nursery and holding lot with very healthy specimens to choose from.

Been meaning to try Spadefoot forever and finally ended up nearby. Such a sweet outdoor space…read morepacked with a variety of native plants (lots of herbs, greens and bushes/trees this season). I picked out some herbs, a sun gold tomato plant and a large Mexican oregano which I haven't found anywhere else in town. I love how accessible this spot is and that they house the freedge out front as a means of mutual aid for community members to support each other with food. A perfect combo run by great folks!

The staff at Spadefoot Nursery is very knowledgeable and easy going…read more They focus on native and non-invasive plants that will not only survive our climate, but nurture it and help the entire ecology thrive. The selection is never ending and you can find many native plants that are difficult to find, elsewhere, and impossible to find at the large chain nurseries. I've ended up taking so many plants back to larger places (that I won't name, but we all know) because, even when buying them at whatever price, at the time, I already know that they won't last the year that they are guaranteed for. It always seems like such a waste. Built from the ground up, it's nice to go somewhere that you know isn't just a gear in the big box monster machine. Gardening was one of the things that got me through a cancer journey, and yesterday, as I put my hands in sand and soil, I watched a hummingbird light on one of my favorite flowering bushes, that Jared, the owner, helped me pick out, near the beginning. It was little when I chose it, but now is almost five feet high. I don't remember it's name, but if I were to show anyone who works at Spadefoot, they would know what plant it is, where it can thrive, what care it will require, and when it will bloom. With some thought and planning, one can literally have a rotating buffet of blossoming food for all the critters, without adding any dyes, sugars, or plastic feeders. Nature does it all. I think of this nursery, every single morning, when I see this particular bush, which feeds the bees, hummers... Offers shade and shelter to those without wings, and other wonders, and remember how all things are connected. If you want a peaceful, lovely way to spend some time, skip the bustle and take a stroll, through this unpretentious garden space, and take a bit of that home, with you. Also, the name made me curious. So, look it up. It's hecka cool.

I turn to Jeff whenever I want to purchase plants as gifts. So far, he's selected two house-warming…read morepresents and a Christmas gift on my behalf, and I'm always really pleased with his work. 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.
