Northwest Palms

Palm/Cactus Nurseries in Phoenix?

In about two weeks, my wife and I will be taking a short little vacation in Phoenix, Arizona. Hoping to take advantage of the travel opportunity, we'd really like to hit a few cactus and palm nurseries near the city. We might also head on up towards Sedona for a day. Can anyone here on the forum suggest a nursery or two worth visiting in either area? I've poked around on the web doing a few Google searches, but I really like to know what personal favorites might be out there.

Thanks in advance.

Desert Trees in the 21000 block of N Cave Creek (just north
of the 101 on the left). They have a good selection of
xeric stuff; there is a cactus place on the opposite
side of Cave Creek just south of Desert Trees in the 19000
block. Gardener's World on Baseline Road in south Phoenix
and Baker's in central Phoenix are also good. Most nurseries
will carry palms. Pacific Palms has the best variety.

Again, thanks so much for the tips, website, links, and private e-mails. My wife and I are planning on having a great time in the Phoenix area, and all of suggestions sent along should really help us out.
