Desert Survivors Native Plant Nursery

About

Desert Survivors was started in 1981 by Tucson psychologist Joseph Patterson, with five employees with disabilities selling native seeds from a Grant Road storefront. Today its four-acre nursery near A Mountain gives jobs and job training to adults with disabilities. Shop more than 800 native Sonoran Desert species, most grown on site from seed and cuttings. Plant sales pay the workers' wages. Ask about the nursery subscription.
