- It was a Saturday afternoon and I just wanted to get out of the house. I swear there is nothing more enjoyable and relaxing than plant shopping, and not just any plants, cactus and succulents! I'm not willing to stray far from the house these days because of my little furry sweetheart. Luckily I always have my trusty Arizona Cactus Sales nursery down the street, where I'm greeted by name and always feel super welcome.
I know we've already visited Arizona Cactus Sales several times on this channel, but the fun thing about plant nurseries is that the inventory is always changing, so it's always fun to go back and see what new things they have in stock. They have also started carrying handmade pottery by BoHo Ceramic Studio, who is a local pottery artist in the Phoenix area. By the time I made this video, someone had already come in and swooped up a dozen pots!
I'll also show you a little baby Welwitschia mirabilis that they planted in the ground. We'll see if it'll turn into the giant monster we saw at the old location.
Come take a relaxing plant shopping trip with me and see what new treasures can be found!

You can visit, Michelle! It's fun just to walk around the neighborhood to see the different desert landscapes that folks do with their yards.
Wow Lovely Cactus ^^

Thank you so much, friend!
Thanks for the tour and taking me back to Arizona!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, have a wonderful evening!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🥀🌳🏵🌿🌷🌱🌴🌸🌲🌹💐🍀🌻🌾🪴😃👍
A trip to Arizona with no travel required! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour, Clyde!
Thank you for the video.. sending prayers for your sweet fur baby!
💚💚💚 I really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the eye 🛍
Ha! Love that terminology, Cecilia. Hopefully as good as window shopping!
Can you visit Plants for the southwest one day? That would be an amazing video.
Yesss! Plants for the Southwest is next on my list of Tucson nurseries to visit and film. I can also take my sweet time since the size is manageable. Once I feel more comfortable venturing a bit further from home, that will be my next destination.
Love your music.
Thank you, Mom hehehehehe
Thanks for the tour. I hope Cookie gets better.
Thank you, Andy! I really hope so too....
@@cookiescacti 😺❤
Thank you for the update, and thanks for sharing now i will go spend a little extra time with my cat she is a rescue cat i found 7 years ago
There's nothing better than spending time with our fur babies! I'm so glad you enjoyed the shopping trip, Anders!
Man those Astro cv.s were stunning!
Matt does such a great job growing those Astros! It's such a treat to see what new stuff he has brought into the nursery every time
I love this video! Here in Ohio, I am often wondering how much do cacti go for out West. Now I know! Very informative! Everything looks fab. Thank you!
I'm so glad you appreciate seeing the prices, Angie! I try to show prices whenever I can because why not? It's a good data point for shopping around whether high or low. Are there cactus nurseries in Ohio? Hello from Arizona!
@@cookiescacti It's a great idea. I live in Columbus, Ohio which is a fairly large city and in all of Central Ohio we have like 3 cactus and succulent shops. I belong to our very small central Ohio cactus and succulent society and we have sales every April. We also collect and grow from seed. The Big, trendy thing here in Ohio right now are houseplants. Succulents are gaining more interest every year though. Thanks for what you do! I love AZ. My daughter and husband live in Phoenix so I visit often. 💕
Yay!! Cacti shopping! Hope your Cookie cat feels better.
Wooohoooo! Who doesn't love plant shopping?? It does great thing for the spirit lol. Thank you so much for your well wishes for Cookie cat !
Woooo! New vid :D
Woohhoooooo!! Plants plants plants!
Hope Cookie will be okay….thanks for this wonderful tour
Thank you so much, Patti. I'm so glad you enjoyed the shopping trip. It was so nice to get out of the house for a little bit, thank goodness for plants!
I'm terribly sorry to hear about Cookies health. I hope she's better. I found your channel recently and haven't been watching them in order.
Awww thank you so much for the message. Her health is a constant rollercoaster but we are managing the best that we can. I appreciate your concern!
thanks for the plant shopping tour .Hope for the best for Cookie.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the shopping trip! Thank you so much for the well-wishes for Cookie. I truly and immensely appreciate it! P.S. She just joined me by the computer and is meowing me as I type.
Great video, Jenny, thanks for taking us along! Hope Cookie feels much better very soon again, sending very best wishes to you both!
Thank you so much for the well wishes, Joe! I appreciate it so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the shopping trip!
Muito lindo
Your'e the best! Thank you for the love!
That was fun, thank you! You're so lucky to have this nursery so close by! Thinking of you and your dear Cookie!
Dawwww thank you so much for your thoughts, Doreen. I'm so glad you enjoyed the shopping trip with me!
Cacti are so cool! Thanks for taking us along! I see there will be a shopping haul video! Looking forward to seeing that.
I'm hoping to get to work on editing the haul video this weekend! Cactus are the strangest, coolest plants ever! I'm so glad you enjoyed this shopping trip with me, Terry!
A couple of those Astrophytum definitely would have come home with me, dang! I can't even go to Lowe's without bringing a succulent/cactus or two home, so I can't even imagine having a cactus nursery like this close to me 😅. Also, don't be afraid to get that second opinion for Cookie, all vets see things differently and sometimes one can find what another doesn't even just based off of a previous case they may have had. Best wishes.
I totally understand the struggle with buying plants, Heather!
I am going forward with that second opinion. It's been so tough getting an appointment as a new client with vets in the area. Just 3 more weeks until our appointment with the new mobile vet ... I just need Cookie to stay relatively stable until we get another pair of eyes to look at her health history and current condition... Wish us luck!
@cookiescacti it's really hard for a lot of people to get appointments as new clients with vets these days. I thought I was going to have a hard time when I went on the hunt for a new vet at the end of last year but I got lucky and only had to wait a week to get in. I really hope you can keep Cookie stable for a few more weeks and hopefully a fresh set of eyes will see something the others aren't. Me, Colby and Olive are wishing you all the luck!
Our appointment with the mobile vet is coming up this Monday. It felt like an eternity! Cookie is still slowly declining, I simultaneously can't wait to work with the new doctor and see what new perspective she can bring, but I'm also very scared about what she will find. But knowing is better than not knowing so we can figure out the best way forward.
@cookiescacti having to wait any amount of time seems like an eternity when you're trying to get them help. Anytime in situations like this it's terrifying knowing you might get answers you don't want to hear but if you don't hear them you can't help. It's so rough though. I don't remember if I've asked or if you mentioned before but how old is Cookie? Have you found out anything new since the visit?
This was such a relaxing video and the music was also very relaxing. I needed this today. I'm a new subscriber so I'm not sure if your cat is better or not but I'll try to watch other videos to catch up.
Dang you just made my day with this comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Cookie is hanging in there. We're taking it one day at a time.
To the people who think being addicted to drugs is bad try being hooked on cactus!!!😂
Right??? I swear the cactus and succulent rabbit hole is deep with no return and no exit
The price very Reasonable
That is good to know!
When i lived in Arizona my cats really seemed to get sick from the tap water had to make sure they either got purified or distilled,
Loved the video, especially loved seeing those pots, what pieces of art,
good luck with Cookie.
That is a very interesting comment regarding the tap water here, Tom. I actually switched to 5 gal bottled purified & RO water for drinking over 2 years ago. You know why? Because I watered my Adenium with filtered tap water from inside the house and the leaves immediately started wilting. I don't know if it was just the Adenium being a diva but it made me suspect the water, so I switched all drinking water to the purified, RO water for the humans and little Cookie. Thank you so much for noting that and for the well wishes for Cookie.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It's super fun checking out handmade pottery. I took a couple of the smaller ones home.
Wishing you and Cookie all the best!
Thank you so much for the well-wishes! I really appreciate it!
New Subscriber here! Great video! Loved that you showed prices and lots of variety. I’ve always wondered if cacti is cheaper in Arizona (Im in San Diego, CA) but it looks like prices are about the same. That nursery has amazing selection though. Looks like a fun place to visit. Hope your kitty is feeling better. Really liked the music choice too, I’m going to have to borrow it. Thanks for taking your time off of work to film.
Hello and welcome! What are your go-to spots to buy plants in San Diego? I lived in San Diego before I moved to Arizona but that was before I got into plants so I never got to explore. Southern California seems to have a much more active C&S community which I am very jealous of 😁
And thank you very much for the positive vibes for Cookie. She's hanging in there but we are not out of the woods yet.
@@cookiescacti I leave in east county so close by there is Hunters in Spring Valley and Planters Paradise in El Cajon. For a huge selections I usually drive to the Vista area. There are tons of options there like Waterwise Botanicals and Oasis as well as other more mom&pop type places. Unfortunately(or fortunately for my wallet) it’s a good 50 mile drive.
A little bit of distance between us and nurseries is probably a good thing 😉 Thank you for the information! I'll definitely check out those spots if I have a chance to visit
People want to find extraterrestrial life but... variegated cacti are already here!
I agree, Bush! These things are so alien and so much like underwater ocean floor life sometimes.
I enjoyed this one, Jenny. I like how you are able to capture the names of the cacti. Do you know if they do online sales? Or do you know of any cactus nursery based in Arizona that sells online?
Thank you, Ana! I try my best to get the labels and prices but it doesn't always turn out that way. They do have an online shop: www.arizonacactussales.com/ The prices are higher online because it covers shipping and handling and the inventory is a little different between online and retail too. If there's something in the video that catches your eye, it's worth giving them a call and asking. They're super nice guys, just tell them that Jenny at Cookie's cacti sent ya :)
I hope you come visit Arizona some time, Ana! You'll have so much fun visiting the nurseries, especially if you make it to Tucson. There are so many cactus nurseries down there, both public and even private ones available by appointment. Lots of well-known and prolific growers. You'd have a blast!
Oh I just saw on their website that they are revamping their online shop and re-opening it in April. I can't wait to see how they update the online side of things. I hope you find some cool stuff!
Oh thank you. Looks like their online shop won’t be open until April. Yes, it is in my bucket list to visit Arizona. I pray that it will happen one of these days. Maybe you can be my guide. 😉
@@CactusCaffeine Yeah! Let me know if you have any questions! I'd be happy to guide what I know. There's still plenty that I haven't explored myself even!
Boojum!
BOOJUM!
I would be stressing out there. Just because there is so many cactus I would want and at those prices. I would need a 1000$ l
The struggle is real... ha! And the fact that AZ Cactus Sales is just a few miles from my house. I stop myself from going there to "window shop" because I know it's impossible, otherwise, I would be there all the time!
@@cookiescacti a few miles from your house would make it a real problem lol. With some of the better nurseries being an hour or two away is what keeps me in check.
@@user-ze6do7kf4e this is why it's very important that Tucson is over an hour away from me 😂 All the cool cactus nurseries are concentrated there
❤🏜👍👏
Dang, you're the best, Christof!
