Many a gardener has found inspiration among the endless rows of plants at Mesquite Valley Growers.

The answer is yes, but you need the proper supplies and a heap of gardening know-how. The knowledgeable staff will walk you through the enormous selection of plants, soil mixes, sculptures and so much more ... and they'll help you figure out what to do with it all. If you're really lucky, you might even run into the employee everyone calls "George the Genius." If you do, take notes. The guy's like a gardening savant or something.
