Native Plant Nurseries in New Mexico

New Mexico's sky islands, desert grasslands, and Chihuahuan Desert support one of the most floristically diverse arid landscapes in North America. The state's elevation gradient — from desert basin to 13,000-foot peaks — creates a stacked series of biomes in which native plant communities change dramatically over short distances. Rio Grande cottonwood-willow riparian corridors are among the most important wildlife corridors in the Southwest.
