Greetings

My name is Deborah Hendzel and I have become a desert dweller. Development in our area was at a rapid pace when I began my salvage busines. Native vegitation was becomming consumed in the sprawl at an alarming rate. I quit a career and wanted to make a difference in the world. So I began attending to the rescue and salvage of local wild native desert plants.I have always been fascinated with the plants that can survive the extreme desert life-cycles. I love what I do and find each salvage is like a scavanger hunt, never knowing what you might find hiding tucked behind another plant, tree or rock. This website is currently undergoing some salvage and restoration as well. Our gallery is in development, but we got started with some beautiful spring blooms. Head over here to visit the gallery.

Rescue and Salvage

We work with the State of Az. Dept of Agriculture in the preservation of protected species. Salvages began early in 2004, and have included several developments and private land owners. Plants have come from portions of Rancho Del Lago in Vail, Sycamore Canyon in Corona de Tucson, and Whetstone Development in Benson, just to name a few. Our efforts have been recognized in publications such as the Arizona Daily Star, and Sunset magazine.

Zeriscaping

Water is a precious commodity in this arid landscape and native plants know how to survive. We specialize in drought tolerant plants, mostly salvaged, some propigated, and others from wholesalers. Trial and error has given us a better understanding of how these plants survive and thrive. Placement and exposure in a yard can be vital to a plants survival.
