About US
In 2000, I started working with and selling native plants as a hobby.  I had more of some plant or other than I needed, so I sold the extra at the Swap Meet.  A backyard business was born.  I was known at the Swap Meet as the "Cactus Lady"  my husband, Joe, is the "Cactus Guy"  In April, 2004, I officially became Little River Nursery & kactus kart.  As the business grew, Joe stepped in and gave invaluable assistance whenever it was asked for.  In 2005, Joe took over the nursery as I took over growing grand kids while Mom works.  The business has since become just Little River Nursery.

Most of our plants are grown in Cochise County, AZ , for Cochise County.  We specialize in a variety of native and drought tolerant plants, the majority of which we have grown from cuttings or seed.  Some of our inventory does come from other nurseries with similar climates.  Each year our inventory changes as we  add and delete plants based on what we find does or does not do well here.  Or, more often, which seeds and cuttings grew or didn't grow for us.  We grow our plants in native soil with a little added compost and we attempt to grow things without a greenhousre as much as possible.  That way our plants go right from our soil to your soil without shock and they are already hardened off.
