| - When the Desert Botanical Gardens needs replacement or additional Cacti for their display gardens, these are the people they call. As a native Arizonan, I have seen cactus all my life and never really given much thought to their unique and splendid appearance. It wasn't until a visit to The Gardens that I fully realized how many different agave there are and how many varieties of ocotillo are known and how many different colors a cactus can be. If you enjoy cactus, are looking for a unique gift or just want to add to your garden, this is the place to go!
Arizona Cactus Sales is conveniently located just south of the 202 Santan Freway off ramp on Arizona Avenue, aka State Highway 87. There is not much visible frontage on Arizona Ave, but the property goes deep to the east and has a large variety of cactus from miniature to huge. All of the plants are grouped according to genus and sun requirements; Latin names are present for the botanist and common names for the rest of us. Prices are reasonable, especially considering that some plants take years to get to size. Further, there are plants here that are simply sold no where else and price can dictate this. However each time I visit, I have had a pleasant experience and left feeling good about my purchase and supporting a local business.
The staff is knowledgeable, ask them a question and you can get as much information as you desire about every plant they sell. They will happily give you planting tips, watering advice, troubleshooting for those struggling succulents and gladly help you carry and load all your purchases into your vehicle. The best part about all the workers is that they are super friendly, they genuinely care about their job and all appear to enjoy what they do.
Given that there are just a few places on earth in which cacti naturally grow and thrive in abundance, and this, the Sonoran Desert being the most diverse among them, it makes sense that there be a cactus nursery to sell to the public. Given the selection, service and price, Arizona Cactus Sales is perhaps the finest and best place to buy desert cacti and succulents I have ever found. Therefore, it as good as it gets when looking at, just browsing or wanting to buy cactus. It is worthy of a stop - it is like a smaller, condensed Botanical Gardens but without the price of admission and parking headaches. They are open early in the summer, so go before it gets too late and too hot, because they close early too!
