In January I begin planning my garden and the work I do at Olivia White by looking through the new seed/plant & tool catalogs. Many have arrived already and I have updated my list to share with anyone who wants it. It is lengthy (5 pages), but pretty complete. The most notable change this year was the loss of High Country Gardens/Santa Fe Nursery which will definitely be missed by me. Plants of the Southwest in Santa Fe has a great catalog of seed, but if you want plants you have to go there. The same is true of Agua Fria Nursery in Santa Fe. They have tons of plants in all sizes, especially vegetables, and drought tolerant high elevation plants. They have the largest collection of southwestern peppers I have ever seen, but again they don't do mail order. Our local nurseries are doing a great job of high elevation, drought tolerant plants and veggies, so support them. There is also the annual Arboretum Plant sale in July.
The only other changes I found were phone numbers and a few moved to other cities. I added AZ gardens this year as they all have plant sales. If you find anything missing or incorrect let me know. If I have any changes I will update in February.
