Situated in the Catalina Foothills, the company offers a wide array of plants, pottery, and garden art, catering to both the general public and trade professionals including landscapers, florists, and designers.

The nursery spans 13 acres with 33 greenhouses and a 4000 sq ft retail building, featuring diverse pottery sourced globally and a wide selection of ornamental plants.
