Gardens Center

The Gardens Center is the hub for activities and programs in the Springs Preserve Gardens. In addition to selling snacks, drinks and desert-friendly plants, the center also is the place for guests to sign up and meet for classes.

Have a sick plant or horticultural mystery? The Gardens Center is the home of Dr. Green Thumb. Bring your sick plant, photo or a description of what ails your garden on Fridays from 10 a.m. to noon. Horticulturist and author Linn Mills, aka "Dr. Green Thumb," or one of our many Master Gardeners will attempt to provide a free diagnosis and cure.

Can't make it in on Fridays? Post your gardening quandary for our Desert Gardener using our online form.

Plant Sales

You can purchase plants grown by Springs Preserve horticulture staff at the main ticket booth during regular business hours, and pick up the plants on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the south ticket booth. Plants purchased at the Gardens Center on the weekends are immediately available.
