| - We decided to spruce up the yard this weekend, since it was cool outside and the recent rain had made the ground softer than normal. Based on D.D.'s great review, we drove to Baker Nursery this morning. The place is HUGE, but almost all of it is cool and shady, so walking around and looking at all they had would be pleasant, even on a "normal" Phoenix summer day. They have all manner of indoor plants, outdoor plants and shrubs, trees, pottery, and a greenhouse.
We don't frequent nurseries, but the prices seemed really reasonable and the plants all looked healthy. We ended up with 4 plants for the outside and 1 for Hubby's desk at work. The staff was easy-going, friendly and knowledgeable. The main person we talked to even pointed out a couple of hummingbirds' nests as we passed by them just because they were cool. If I decide to be ambitious this summer and do some more planting (in the wee hours of the AM of course) I'll return to Baker.
