About Us

Green Things has been serving Tucson since 1970.  Traditionally a large wholesale nursery growing and brokering house plants, poinsettias and annuals, Green Things has expanded in numerous ways.  We continue to work hard supporting our existing wholesale customers with high quality foliage and beautiful poinsettias during the holidays.  Our retail store has grown significantly in variety and scope.  We provide trees and cacti in common native and native-adapted varieties as well as exotic and unusual species that withstand our harsh desert conditions.  Our inventory includes shrubs and perennials, palms, grasses, ground-covers and vines.  Our Garden Art and outdoor living displays will tickle your fancy.  Our bird baths and fountains will soothe and relax.  We carry soil and fertilizer specific to the plants we sell, and garden tools to help you get the job done!  Want to grow your own?  See our seed selection and cultivate your own private sanctuary!  Our retail and wholesale customers are important to us!  We strive to provide products, service, reliability and punctuality.  Our staff is friendly and professional.       

Located on the banks of the Rillito River, Green Things can now be accessed from the River Walk.  See our greenhouses as you walk or ride between the Racquet Club Bridge and Brandi Fenton Park.  Watch for our sign at the end of Allen Road where it meets the Rillito River.  Head in through the parking area.  Relax and meander through the myriad of trees, shrubs, cactus, palms in our outdoor shopping area.  Enjoy the rows of fountains, garden art and pottery.  Enter the Indoor Retail Greenhouse or the Large Tropical House and feel yourself immersed in a tropical rain forest or jungle.
