Apologies about all the background sounds that my camera microphone picked up at the nursery! I had my new external mic clipped to my shirt all ready to go... and it wasn't until I started editing the video that I realized I never plugged my mic into the camera... This was a big DOH! moment. I guess it's a good lesson learned early because I will never forget again (I hope). Thank you all for putting up with my many beginner mistakes!
I hope the sunshine brought some warmth over to you in Germany. Winter is just around the corner. Soon I'll be complaining about how cold it is all the time 😂
Wonderful, awesome nursery. I LOVE that brilliant blue pottery! Thanks you for showing the tropical houseplants section. I would love to visit some of these nurseries you are showcasing.
I hope you get a chance to visit these nurseries some time! Now you know some spots to check out around the Phoenix area. They are so much fun to explore.
LOL, a truck would be very useful. Last time I was in Tucson, I hit my favorite place, B & B and really loaded up. I mailed 6 boxes back to my home in the Chicago area. @@cookiescacti
LOL, last time I visited my favorite nursery, B & B in Tucson, I mailed 6 large boxes home (Chicago area)! It might have been cheaper to rent a truck but then I would have bought even more plants... Cancel
Just discovered your channel! I live in phoenix so its nice to see different nurseries nearby. Ive been mostly collecting tropical plants but the past few years i have been getting back into cacti and succulents. Hopefully i have better luck this year because last summer was rough on my cacti 😅 Thanks for making videos, its very inspiring! 😁🌵
Oh my gosh, last summer was so horribly rough on all the plants and animals. I'm just hoping next summer we actually get a monsoon.... As you venture deeper into the cactus rabbit hole, think about joining the cactus society 😁
@@cookiescacti yes! Fingers crossed for a monsoon 🤞😅 And that sounds interesting, I will look it up. I was actually looking for something to join! Thanks 😁
@@ES-mm9oi yesss! Central Arizona Cactus and Succulent Society. We usually meet once a month, it's really fun. If you decide to join, I'll see you at the next meeting 😊
I drive by this place a lot but it seems like prices are a bit higher than I hoped. For large landscape plants you can’t beat the prices at Phoenix Desert Nursery
I agree... Just another data point for viewers to get a feel for what's available around town ☺️ I need to check out Phoenix Desert Nursery. Because they close earlier in the day... Bad for a non-morning person 😂
I enjoy your videos. I am only part way through but I wanted to post this question. You mentioned the grower marks the south facing side of the pot with an X. Does that mean you need to plant it the same way when planting in your garden. Thanks from a Virginia subscriber.
I leave it up to the viewers to decide if prices are high or low since price references depend on where you live. In some areas of the country/world, big box stores don't carry succulents, in other parts they carry very little, in Arizona they carry a lot. Another information point for the viewer.
I always visit Berridge Nursery when I visit Phoenix from El Paso! Looking at the video yesterday made me want to make a trip back out to pick up some of those plants!! You keep mentioning a wholesale nursery there but I can never quite pick up the name. It's Shady something. Could you let me know what it's called?
Ahh so cool to know you're familiar with Berridge! The wholesale nursery is called Shady Way. I heard they used to have retail but then went to wholesale only and then I heard they were going to close the wholesale part too 😭 most likely due to the owners retiring.
Beautifully laid out nursery with shade trees to make being outside tolerable. I noticed that there are no South American cacti such as Gymnocalycium, Lobivia, Rebutia, or Copiapoa. How do they fare in the Arizona desert climate?
Good observation! These more landscape focused nurseries tend to have fewer varieties of genuses and focus a bit more on native plants or plants from nearby regions. Copiapoa are very hard to find at nurseries here, and when they offer them, it's just a few species. The genera you mentioned do fine in this climate but for some reason are not so widely available around the Phoenix area.

Still a great video. I never noticed any issues with the audio. 👍👍🌵🌵
@@dkstott29 Yay! I'm so glad the audio is okay for you. It always bugs me when I feel something is off.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the shopping trip!
🤩💚💚👍it looks like a park with beautiful plants. Omg, what a wonderful sunny day.
Its very cold today in Germany, 40'F❄❄⛄

Another nice video. I'll have to add it to my list of places to visit in February. I especially like your coverage of the terra cotta pots.
Yessss! You're going to have a blast visiting the various nurseries in Arizona! Are you bringing a truck?
LOL, a truck would be very useful. Last time I was in Tucson, I hit my favorite place, B & B and really loaded up. I mailed 6 boxes back to my home in the Chicago area. @@cookiescacti

Love Berridge. I buy my roses there
I love checking out Berridge too. Always a surprise what they have in stock

Yes! You got that right. Keeping the plant's orientation the same helps prevent it from burning.
Prices are high $$$
You can get a lot of these at the Big Box stores for less $$
I leave it up to the viewers to decide if prices are high or low since price references depend on where you live. In some areas of the country/world, big box stores don't carry succulents, in other parts they carry very little, in Arizona they carry a lot. Another information point for the viewer.
Ariocarpus flowers are nice.
I agree 😁 such a treat in the fall
