Arid Adaptations Nursery

I turn to Jeff whenever I want to purchase plants as gifts. So far, he's selected two house-warming presents 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.

This funky little nursery has so much to see. I especially like the selection of native cacti and succulents, as well as plants from just a little farther south. Sometimes he has really crazy stuff like mala mujer! Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and also very generous in the community - he has donated loads of plants to the AZ Native Plant Society for outreach events. Support this local nursery!!
