There are two kinds of people: those who are good with plants, and those who desperately want to be good with plants. (I see you, group No. 2.) Both frequent greenhouses and plant sales, and the mother of them all is the Springs Preserve’s Fall Plant Sale. A step up from the usual plant supply markets, this one features an abundance of desert-adapted and hard-to-find plants, as well as actual experts on hand to educate you on keeping your new little friend happy and thriving. It’ll be a perfect souvenir from a day at the Springs Preserve, since every time you water (or, in my case, forget to water) your plant, you’ll remember your favorite desert oasis.
