We went to pick up a couple bougainvillea bushes for our yard. Picked out a couple great specimens, and negotiated a very fair price. A month later, and the growth and flowering is terrific! Best nursery in Phoenix, hands down! FWIW- (Avoid the company that uses full page color advertising- you end up paying for those color ads). read more

What an exceptional nursery! So much fun and beautiful large varieties! Prices were so reasonable! The owner was very helpful and such a pleasure to chat with. It's nice to visit a place that is laid back and all about the plants! Can't wait to go back! read more

Were in the area and figured to give this place a shot. Here was our experience. EXPERIENCE: Parking: Inside the nursery, you basically park so you're not in the way of the the entrance/exit. Feels: 15 minutes away from the college town side of Arizona which isn't too bad. It's on a busy street but there's a banner so keep your eyes peeled. The spot itself is huge as there are rows and rows of plants. You can somewhat drive around the place to load up any of the big plants. All out door with some shaded patio. Plants: Plenty of cactus selections and medium-sized succulents. Lot of healthy selections. Not many small plants which I was fine with. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The owner was friendly and professional OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! Great selections and at a reasonable price. Keeping it simple, if you're looking for plants, this is your spot. Tips: - They accept card! read more

10/10 experience, pricing, ownership, selection of plants, and you can pick up your cactusstore seed purchases here!

This place is amazing compared to other similar nurseries. The Spanish speaking employee was nice and helpful. I looked at many wonderful plants yet came here with the intention to ask questions about a solution for challenge with my HOA Richard, the owner, was very knowledgeable. lots of experience, and seemed to really care. not a salesman like some other nursery I've been to. I will definitely be returning here!!! read more

I recently visited and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The service was lacking, and it felt like the staff wasn't interested in helping me at all. read more

This place is such a hidden treasure spot! We went to many locations looking for desert plants for our front yard. This was the only place that had a beautiful selection of plants and cacti. The plants were all well taken care of, treated with love and it was so organized and such great prices. The wow factor was the amazing owner Richard, he was such a breath of fresh air. From his knowledge of every item on his land, to his kindness, to his sweet mellow tone he was just the kindest human to interact with. He had no issues answering all the questions we had . We will absolutely be here again and recommend anyone and everyone to come here if they want great quality plants/cacti and wonderful customer service. Thank you Richard for a great experience! read more

I absolutely love this cactus nursery! They have a huge selection of cactus varieties and at the absolute best price. There is no sales pressure and the owner is super knowledgeable about the cactus and care required for them. We were on a road trip so I was only able to purchase a few but they have been thriving ever since. I plan to stop here on our next trip through AZ again to purchase again! read more

Amazing selection of cactus and prices are super reasonable. Came here after checking another nearby nursery in search of Purple Cactus (Opuntia Santa Rita.) Their prices were wayyyy lower and the selection was better too. They accept credit cards which is also a huge plus. Left happy with 5 varities of cactus to take back to California. read more

Great prices, great plants. Great finds. You want cactus with no pressure sales? Stop here. Wonderful experience.

We were looking for a nursery with a good cactus selection. This place exceeded expectations. It is huge, the plants were healthy and offered in various sizes, they were moderately priced, and the staff were helpful. The owner was very knowledgeable and kind. His Bill listed all the cacti's formal names - a thoughtful bonus. read more

Came here to get succulents and cacti to landscape my front yard. I'm on a really tight budget. I found everything I needed and got some real treasures on the cheap, because they were looking a little rough. I can't wait to nurse them back to health and see my garden fill in. After I went here, I drove past another nursery and stopped in. Although the variety at the other nursery was much larger for succulents, the prices were considerably higher and the people there were not as helpful. If you're more of a bargain hunter and less into glitz, this is a good stop. read more

What a great nursery, stocked with tons of desert plants and trees. Equally important, the prices are the best I've seen - and by a lot. You won't go wrong. read more

I called Richard yesterday to get advice on a sick cereus peruvianus cactus that other cactus and landscaping companies have advised was terminal. Richard asked for photos to confirm a diagnosis and informed me that the cactus was actually on the mend and would survive with a trimming a the dead limbs. Richard could just as easily given me the same suggestion as the others with the hopes of selling me a replacement cactus but he was truthful. I will look for opportunities to give my business and others to Phoenix Desert Nursery. Honesty is hard to come by these days and he saved us $500 minimum and our 15' tall specimen cactus. Thank you Richard! read more

The owner is wonderful and will help you whenever he can. This place is great for larger specimens and I would highly recommend it if you plan on landscaping or anything like that. This nursery does not have many small plants though so if you are searching for small 4 inch pots this is not the place to go. This place has very amazing and affordable prices and I would highly recommend stopping by. read more

Just discovered this nursery and I was very impressed. By far the best quality and quantity of desert landscape plants vs other places I've been and much more reasonably priced to top it off. Don't go to one of the big retail nurseries - come here instead and you will love it. read more

Fantastic selection of cacti at a very happy price. I really enjoyed browsing this guy's huge collection.

I'd definitely come back and I recommend a trip here even if you aren't really in the market for expanding your garden. read more

I love everything about this place. The owner, Richard, clearly loves what he is doing. He gave us great advice on what cacti to choose for our front yard. He steered us away from some high-priced items. It is clear he is not in this business to make a lot of money. I like the simple and understated lay out of this nursery, including the sign. Richard is a classic Arizona character, he looks like he would be a prospector in a different era. We shopped at a few nurseries, and his prices are a lot better on cacti. read more

If you're looking to buy desert flora, look no further. This is the best place for it, not just in The Valley, but in the country, and probably in the world. My man Richard is a living treasury of knowledge about desert plants and the history of The Valley, he's very kind, and the prices are almost unbelievably reasonable. In sum, Phoenix Desert Nursery is superb read more

I stopped here looking for something very specific. They had it, for a very fair price, and the owner was very pleasant to work with. He offered good advice on how to site and care for my selection. I would not hesitate to return. read more

Excellent selection. Prices are very good, especially on larger cactus. Bought a couple cactus in 24" boxes and a couple in 30 gal tubs. Very healthy plants with great roots. Grown here in the desert, not shipped in from California. Prices were half of what I would have paid at a Scottsdale nursery and the selection was much broader both in types of cactus and sizes offered. As others have noted, the owner has been doing this for 30 yrs and is very knowledgeable and helpful. I gladly drive an hour to get there. read more

As others have noted, Richard has a huge selection of cacti in from 1 gallon to 24" box containers. He has an expert's knowledge of plants and is happy to help customers select the plants that will best meet their needs. His prices are excellent. It was a pleasure to do business at Phoenix Desert Nursery, and I would not hesitate to go back for more purchases or to refer my friends to PDN. read more
