Mesquite Valley Growers

Look, you know you could really use some help. The orange trees don't bloom anymore. And there are these cool vines with pretty little pink flowers that take off during monsoon season, but you don't know their name. And there's an area of the yard that could really use some cactus, but how on earth do you plant cactus? Here's what's cool about Mesquite Valley Growers: Just stand in the middle of the nursery with a puzzled look on your face, and a guy wearing a sun hat may just walk up, ready to answer every question. You'll leave with some house-blend fertilizer for the orange trees, and your neighbors will be happy you're finally doing something with the yard.
