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

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!!

The nursery states "open" but is blocked by several large trucks with hitched trailers. I had a hard time finding an entrance to the grounds and when I did, I couldn't tell if I was in a nursery or a construction zone. The lot was empty with little hills of rocks and tractors. There were some outdoor plants, but very sparse and not healthy looking. I couldn't find where the indoor plants were and I wandered the property for a solid five minutes before I gave up and left. Never saw another person or worker. Odd experience, will not be back.

This last time they helped us out of a jam when our original contractor could not meet a specific delivery/completion date, The crew arrived as promised led by Cesar Jiminez, worked with me while identifying locations for all, and even looked at some existing plants/trees that were struggling to provide some advice. I have at least one more area to plant, I will be back!

After a quick introduction, Dre knew exactly what I wanted. He took the time to explain the differences of some other pine trees, growth, pine needle size, etc. Then he helped me select 3 trees. Amazing experience and customer service! Customer service is often lacking at the big box stores, but not here. Ask for Dre at Mesquite and you will be glad you did. Grateful for his help!

I'm a houseplant lover/collector who moved to Tucson about a year ago, and Mesquite is easily my…read morefavorite nursery in the area. They have an amazing tropical selection that they rotate through with all the classics plus rare wishlist varieties - I've never left disappointed or empty handed. They're also the first nursery I've ever shopped at frequently where I've NEVER taken home a plant with root rot or pests. The care staff truly know what they are doing and keep all their plants in fantastic condition, which makes the (very slightly) higher prices totally worth it since you know your plant will thrive when you take it home. I just wish they were closer to my house (I'm in Marana), although that would probably be dangerous for my bank account... Love Mesquite!!

We were still browsing all of the beautiful, well-cared for plants and sent him on his way. About 10 minutes later, we had some questions about specific varieties and waved him down. He was happy to help us and very knowledgeable. Plants selected, we saw two pots we might want to purchase, but price tags had gone missing. The team member tracked down the price for them and, when we decided to purchase them, loaded them onto our cart. Checkout was a breeze, and the same helpful team member helped load everything in to our car. The lovely Julia Child roses now are next to my patio in the pretty pots. We were given thorough care instructions, and I anticipate enjoying their beautiful scented blooms all season.
