Report on the Municipal Nursery

From Annette Hinman

  • The nursery has 30 species of trees and 1 bush type ornamental plant. As Bob Harrill said at the last meeting, the trees are almost all of the very large variety and mostly shade trees. There are both fast and slow growing indigenous and imported varieties. Some have medicinal and nutritional qualities. There are 2" to 3" citrus seedlings that have not been set out as one variety or another. At this time, the workers only know that all of the citrus varieties are represented. In my opinion, for your citrus needs, buy 2 year old trees from a good nursery. More than half of the trees at the nursery are newly planted.

  • This file contains a list of the trees that were available at the municipal nursery as of 25 October 2011: Municipal Gardens Tree List



Soil & Plants

  • Victor Soto now also has soil and plants at his new nursery located at the corner of Sonoma just south of the Governor's Mansion.

  • Peter & Eleanor Creighton, Val & Greg Carrico, and I believe Bob & Denise Harrill have gotten "soil" from Jose Paz. No cell or telephone as far as I know. Jose Paz is located on the corner or Calle Sakistan and the road to the Chalaton Park. Right hand side and there is supposed to be a mechanics shop across the street run by a man named Enrique.

Macetas

  • Senora Cardenez, Artisanos Chavez (“Tata”) Calle Hidalgo, across from the school

  • Limited supply of plastic macetas at Ley in Navojoa
