Mesquite Valley Growers Nursery

These days we hear a lot about "green" this and "green" that, but what about that most venerable of pea-hued assets, the "Green Thumb"? Whether you think you have one, or might desire one, you should immerse yourself in the magic of Mesquite Valley Growers. Throbbing with verdant life on more than 20 acres, MVG offers a bounty of all kinds of plant-life—flowering plants, succulents, cacti, bonsai and corn as high as an elephant's eye. Well, maybe not that. But they have just about anything else you yearn to gaze upon on your version of the south-forty spread, be it a landscape, a patio or a porch. Not so green in the thumb? The staff will offer tips to help you develop that dynamic digit just waiting to be discovered.
