  For natives you want [Desert Survivors](http://desertsurvivors.org), but it's not midtown, it's down by A Mountain, Starr Pass and I-10. They're a non-profit native plant nursery that was created to provide employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

  Hi Tucson backyard gardeners! My partner and I are new to Tucson and want to fill our yard and home with pesticide-free, native or native-friendly plants - need garden store recommendation. I've been to a few, found one amazing succulent store, but other than that, I haven't been terribly impressed. Need both indoor and outdoor plants. I'm a Humane Gardener inspired gardener:)

  Does anyone know where I would be able to get some plants for a really good price? I'm looking specifically for Jasmine, Lavender, and White Sage, but any other suggestions that grow well either indoor or outdoor and are aromatic would be appreciated as well.

  Suzanne D. asked:

  I'm wondering if anybody knows of any low cost / low budget plant nurseries. The 2 that I know of: Green Things and Magic Garden I'll be visiting soon. I've done a lot of research to find xeriscape, hardy, hummingbird favorites. I've got my list, don't expect to find all of them. Home depot and lowe's don't have 'em. Are there any others?

  A great organization with good goals as well: http://www.desertsurvivors.org/
