While planning my trip to check out Tucson back in 2021, I discovered B&B Cactus Farm on a blog. It looked fun, so I added it to my itinerary. And I’m glad I did. It was awesome and magical. Rows and rows of greenhouses with the coolest, strangest-looking plants. I took tons of photos and videos, then gushed about the farm to everyone back home. (But the photos in this post are from last week!)
Whenever anyone visits me in Tucson, B&B Cactus Farm is on the list of places we go. And so far, everyone has loved it. Even without visitors, I shop at B&B regularly. Whenever I’m in need of a living, green, sculptural addition to my apartment, I go there. The drive down far-east Speedway is rolling and relaxing. Sprawling ranches, mountains and sky. Some trivia: The 90s kids’ show “Hey Dude” was filmed at a ranch down the street from B&B.
I had much better luck with houseplants in Michigan. I’ve killed a few cacti here in Tucson, but they’re inexpensive and I’m determined to help some thrive. Lastly, the plants in Tucson attract a lot of hummingbirds:
