Great selection, and they're willing to order in what they don't have. For a time, there were 4 people working there that I had trained --- and they were very knowledgeable! I still find the current staff to be knowledgeable, helpful and willing to FIND any answers they don't have. Long drive from Sun City, but best nursery in Phoenix! Lots of shade, benches to rest on, chilled water dispensers -- it's an experience, as well as a shopping trip! Very high plant quality, and kept well groomed. Jim, the owner, will point out the three hummer nests on the property. Julie's worked there 18 years, and is exceptionally helpful. Ditto for Joy Duncan, who knows her plant material backwards and forwards. They don't work on commission, so there's no "double-teaming" or up-selling. Wonderful place. One sister is snarky - just stay out of her way!

Picked up 12 various fruit trees. All the trees were in excellent condition and they were all listed with the Maricopa County Extension as being suitable and tested in desert climates. The selection was the largest I have ever seen. The spring tomato and pepper plants were very stout and again suitable for desert climates. Prices were very reasonable and quality outstanding.

Great selection, nice variety in the greenhouse. Be prepared to wander, takes a while to see everything. Besides the sisters that run the place...the "help" has never been too friendly or helpful. Several occasions I was told they did not have something in stock, only to wander into it myself.

Baker's is one of the few places in town you can buy subtropicals and one of the better nurseries in town. However, I am rating them as good rather than great because they are expensive and their staff is really not knowledgable when it comes to subtropicals.

Great selection, including native plants. Reasonable prices. Knowledgeable staff is salaried (they don't work on commission), and most of them have been there a long time. Acres of plants and garden supplies. Will order anything that's possible for them to get. In my opinion, best nursery in Phoenix!
