We are located at 16500 N. Stallion Place (Tucson AZ 85739)
in Catalina, AZ, north of Tucson about 10 miles.
We'll be happy to give you directions over the phone but you should know that there is no phone at the garden,
so don't try to reach us when the garden is open. In other words, it's best not to call on your way over here!
We are just a garden stand, and the phone number (825-3861) really works only for messages. So it might be best to just
jot some of this down:
Starting on Oracle Rd. (hwy 77 out of Tucson) in Catalina:
Turn on Hawser (by the Burger King) which is the next street north
of Golder Ranch Rd. These days it's also by the Brake Max end of the Basha's center!
If you want to avoid the construction on Hawser
as we yet again make way for more people, you can instead turn on to Golder Ranch Rd. at the traffic light south of Basha's, go
left on Twin Lakes Dr., and right at the stop sign on to Hawser. From here:
Take Hawser to its end, then go left on Columbus (any other
way is a dirt road).
A little over a mile down Columbus after you crest a little hill is Stallion
Place, on the right. There is a yellow "no outlet" sign under the street name.
Up over the hill on Stallion and down the other side, sort of at the right-center of the cul de
sac, you will see our number, 16500, on an old TroyBuilt rototiller. Also there is a little
sunflower painting near the electric box, and our driveway is in between, left
of the electric box.
Follow the dirt driveway down to the 2 gates, and use the one on the right which will be open if
we are open. Sounds complex but it's really quite simple!
For those of you coming from the Lago del Oro end of Saddlebrooke, take Lago south
to Golder Ranch~
Golder Ranch west up to Coronado Forest (first right)~
Coronado Forest to its end and right on Hawser~
When Hawser ends go left on Columbus (follow the pavement)~
After about a mile and a half Stallion Place will be at the crest of the hill on the
right.
When Stallion turns left you go straight down our road, which is just to
the left of the electric box and right of the 16500 hanging on the old rototiller. Follow the signs and
yellow cans back to Our Garden.
(Don't worry, it will make sense when you get here.
It's kind of like initiation....)
The old Troy Built sits proudly out there to welcome you in to what it began. It helped feed
us for so many years, about 25 or maybe more. In it's day it was the cream of the crop. And it performed above
and beyond the call of duty for any rototiller, putting in the irrigation for our whole pistachio orchard as well as the asparagus
beds we had around each of the 300 trees. We now use a BCS, but the granddaddy out there is absolutely a piece
of fine artwork in our eyes.
