B & B Cactus Farm - Tucson, Arizona

Great great shopping experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful people. Well laid out. Tons of very healthy cactus. Helped us load and tie down our purchases to get them home. Have called with question, even very helpful over the phone. They were conservative with temperature ranges and conditions, not just trying to make a sale. We will for sure be back.

What a fantastic place to visit! We were driving through Tuscon and decided to stop by and couldn't be happier!
Staff were kind and helpful without being overbearing. Everyone was knowledgeable! The place is beautiful and organized. We spent 2.5 hours exploring and probably could have spent more time. Left with some great new plants and tan lines!

One of the best cactus nurseries in America. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the products. If B & B doesn’t have the cactus you are looking for Mother Nature didn’t make it yet. The facility is also good for house plants, statues and pottery.

Mark and the exceptional crew at B&B Cactus Farm goes the extra mile to offer a fantastic selection of cactus and succulents. They also helped this old guy by loading his purchases into my car. Fantastic people, lots and lots of selection and fair prices. Besides plants there's tons of pots, potting mixes and even rocks. You'll love this place, go have a grand cacti time.

I've been in the cactus and succulent business for a few years here in Tucson after seeing my neighbor “cactus outlet.com” selling plants B and B offered for 5 to 6 times what they sell for here in town, working hard to contribute to our plant-loving community I began offering a service where nurseries that refused to offer online selling could, while selling their plants for the full price they asked I would post them and ship them with a guarantee for less than the cost after buying the plant. Initially, I thought I’d found a good connection with Jay Weber, who works at B & B Cactus Nursery. Jay seemed like a genuinely friendly person who would go out of his way to help others. That was until he saw me as a perceived competitor. Suddenly, his attitude shifted dramatically—from helpful to downright hostile.

It started when I posted photos of my nursery and my carefully grown, "seed grown" saguaros. Jay somehow misinterpreted my post, assuming I was making claims about plants from his workplace when he saw an entirely different post that simply featured photos of plants from B and B for people outside of Tucson to see, Instead of reaching out directly to clarify, he resorted to personal attacks, spreading lies, and rallying large amounts of Facebook group members to target me for harassment. He made baseless accusations and portrayed me as someone who stealing plants or lying about my stock I paid full price for. I was treated like a criminal for simply operating my business transparently and honestly.

Beyond Jay’s unprofessional behavior, B & B’s pricing also deserves mention. While they buy stock from fellow resellers and nurseries in Tucson, Phoenix and California, the markups here are considerable. A $50 saguaro from a Phoenix nursery is marked up to $125 at B & B. I paid these prices without complaint, yet I've since learned that other local sellers are given discounts, even without a business license. This inconsistent treatment is disheartening, especially after investing thousands of dollars at B & B Cactus Nursery.

If you're looking to support a local nursery that treats customers and fellow plant enthusiasts fairly, I’d recommend looking elsewhere like Phoenix Desert Nursery, or Green Things. Based on my experience, it’s clear B & B values profits and competition over community and integrity.

We recently took a short vacation to Tuscon. The amount of Cactus at the nursery is amazing. It was hard narrowing down the selection due to our limited cargo space on our trip back to Texas. The display gardens here are just as amazing as you would see at a Botanical Garden. Definitely recommend checking out if you are passing through. The staff packed our plants perfectly to ensure safe travels home.
