AVAILABILITY LIST: We are now open for the season. April 4-5 thru June 27-28. We are open on weekends only. This list is updated every Friday.
We are not a garden center but a plant farm offering plants we grow from seed. Many are seeds we collect from our garden. We do not sell bags of soils, compost, or any other garden supplies. Some plants get ready early, some plants are not ready till May. By mid May, everything we offer is ready for sales. Keep checking the Availability List to see when the plants you want are ready.
The Nursery is open 9am to 4pm, Saturday’s and Sunday’s only. We close the gate for last entry at 3:45. Everyone leaves at 4pm. We are not open weekdays.
We open in April to provide plants for those who live in Albuquerque or those who protect their purchases with row cover, water walls, or have indoor growing spaces. The weather takes a long time to settle up here in the mountains. It can freeze the last day of May and into June. It can hail at anytime, any month of the year. We recommend row cover and wind protection.
NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS ON PLANT LIFE. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Purchased plants are your responsibility. Ask questions if you are not sure how to care for your plants. Growing nursery plants is a gamble. You take on that gamble when you leave with your plants.
