🌱 Tips for Choosing the Right Nursery

• Look for plants already adapted to Prescott’s elevation and climate—local nurseries are more likely to stock these.

• Ask about soil mixes or amendments; getting the right soil blend is crucial for mountain gardening.

• For larger trees or bulk orders, wholesale or larger nurseries often provide better value.

• Take advantage of classes and workshops at local nurseries to learn about planting and care.
