Sorry, no. We’re a mostly a native plant nursery.

I have over 100 seeds from my Queen Vic agave--want to save some to try to propagate, but would like to trade seeds for any garden gear (topsoil, pots, etc). Would you be interested in a swap?

We actually have more of those than we need.

do you carry any fruit trees that can grow on Mt Lemmon's climate.

The peach and apricot we have would probably perform fine there. Also, we have jujube which would be fine there too.

About a month ago I bought 3 plants from you. They are a small BOTTLE with part of the name being ST ELMOS FIRE. Do you have any advice on pruning them i.e. where on the plant and at what time of the year? Thanks Don Lasecke

The only pruning you’ll need to do is any brown branches. Otherwise just water regularly, feed occasionally with organic fertilizer, and let the plant grow.

This place is so much more than a plant shop! I have always wanted to learn how to garden and plant trees. I just moved back home to the Sonoran desert and it felt like a really intimidating place to be a beginner at these things. I am so happy that I chose to go to Spadefoot!!! The wealth of information that they share online is truly magnificent and the perspective they communicate encourages a sense of purpose and wonder in planting a native garden. My partner and I have planted several things from Spadefoot in the past few weeks. I feel that we were able to make informed choices as beginners about what to plant, where to plant it, and how to care for it thanks to all of the information that they have made available online and their generosity in answering questions at the nursery. It’s also fantastic to be confident that there aren’t any pesticides in the plants we’ve purchased. Bees and animals have started investigating the new plantings immediately! It’s great to know that everything is safe for them. This ecosystem is under so much pressure right now. The knowledge that Spadefoot Nursery shares gives people the ability to make their yard part of the desert again and I really believe that it adds up and it matters. I was already excited to learn about this incredible ecosystem and now I feel like I can actually work towards better supporting and understanding it. What a wonderful thing. I have honestly been moved by the experience of learning about my home in this way. Thanks so much y’all!!!
