Spent a morning wandering through Dig It Gardens in downtown Phoenix, and it was a relaxing escape…read more Houseplants, outdoor plants, surprisingly good prices, and a whole community of neighborhood kitties roaming the garden thanks to the care they give the local feral cats. Stopped by their pop up coffee cart, Stroll Coffee, for a matcha and I also picked up a few adorable air plants and wood at a great fair price. If you're a plant person, cat person, coffee person... or all three, this spot is worth a visit.

This place is a gem if you love plants and want guidance from people who truly know what they're doing. Highly recommend!

The staff are so helpful and don't mind answering my 1,000 questions whenever I'm in there. Although these plants aren't as cheap as what you'd find in a big box store, the value of supporting a local spot and getting expert advice is worth the extra dollar! FYI, Jungle Box will host parties! My friend hosted a birthday party and we were allowed to bring cake and champagne. Everyone picked out plants and pots and the staff helped us repot them so we could all go home with a fun souvenir.

Visiting Shamus O'leary's Tropical Fruit Trees nursery is a treat. There are so many amazing, hard to find varieties in his nursery, and, there are so much to learn from it.

The ambiance shows that the crew here doesn't just preach but actually practices treating the ground well, some permaculture, and the like. We've gotten kaffir lime, white sapote, jamun (javan plum), apricot, barbados cherry, several kinds of kumquat, red finger lime, etc here. Very happy with all of them. That said, several citrus we purchased were still staked long after needed and one's stake is embedded in the trunk (we couldn't pull it out when we planted). My understanding is that it isn't hurting the tree but still. Just an important note: they're happy to schedule a time after hours for you to come purchase trees but don't show up within an hour before close for a large order because they might not be able to accommodate without feeling squeezed.

You just have to keep your eyes open…read more I stumbled on this wonderful little patch of heaven while I was on the "Arcadia 9th Edible Garden Tour." It was one of the scheduled stops on the garden map. I had no idea what a treat we were in for as we pulled up to what appeared to be an ordinary one-story quiet neighborhood house. Getting out of the car we realized that this was no ordinary front yard. Yes, it had a small wooden rail fence around it. But behind that fence there was no traditional landscaping, no hedges, no grass, no manicured flower beds. There were rows of beans and corn and tomatoes and peppers! As we walked through the carport to the back, we entered a delightful sun room filled with baskets of fresh produce - all freshly picked and, of course, for sale. (Yep, I bought a few small fresh green items to supplement my salad already in the refrigerator at home.) The back yard was more of a delight than the front. Raised beds. Veggies and flowers. And, yes, there was some grass . . . . but most of all it was a miniature oasis of a farm from my childhood. There were chickens and goats, who all seemed somewhat nonchalant about city dwellers stumbling through their little bit of heaven. My Farmyard is a delightful example of what you can do to "grow locally. produce organically. [&] eat well." One of the services they will help you with is planning your own raised bed garden in your yard. They will help you create a "Planting Plan." Oh, I didn't tell you the best part. If you don't want to convert your yard to a veggie garden, you can sign up for weekly Urban Farm Produce Baskets. Freshly picked seasonal veggies and fruits delivered once a week. They even have half shares that are perfect for 1 person. And extra large shares for families or vegetarians. No more been in the store too long and came from who knows where. These veggies and fruits are grown in your own back yard - or in My Farmyard's front yard! Call and go visit your local urban organic farmer.

Both had spent a few hundred dollars to help ensure their gardens were successful. I, on the other hand, was told it would be a $2k minimum just to plant the vegetables (that's with me creating the beds and doing the irrigation on my own)...and that it could be as much as up to $5k. The reason for the price discrepancy? "My location". I'm certain that's not the true reason as I don't live that far away (Chandler) It was either A) not profitable enough for them with the small job I required or B) related to my last name. Regardless, I recommend others take their business elsewhere.

They took the time to answer questions and tell us about all the upcoming events thy have planned, the bonsai class caught our eye. Which also got us excited to follow along & see what they also offer in the future. Their plant selection was impressive, with so many different varieties to choose from, and I loved that they also carried a wide range of unique planters so you can create the perfect setup all in one stop. The ambiance was GOOD. The space felt inviting, relaxing, and thoughtfully designed, making it easy to spend time browsing and enjoying the experience. I also felt the pricing was very reasonable for the quality and selection available. I can't wait to come back and see how it continues to grow!
