OUR HISTORY
In 1983, Craig Keough, founder and owner, noticed the absence of a convenient one-stop shop where the community could purchase affordable landscape supplies. Starting with humble origins, Mr. Keough began selling plants at his first location on the corner of Wynn Road and Tropicana. Over the years, Star Nursery has grown in tandem with the growth of the Southwest. Today, we have locations across Southern Nevada, Southern Utah, and Northern Arizona.
Our journey is marked by a commitment to ensure that the communities we serve can access the resources needed to build gardens and landscapes at a reasonable cost. We believe that beautiful outdoor spaces shouldn’t be a luxury, but a possibility for everyone.

At Star Nursery, our promise is rooted in your success. Aware of the challenges that desert gardening presents, our staff is committed to continuous learning. Through education programs, community partnerships, and the passing down of generational knowledge, we ensure that our plant experts stay up to date on the latest horticultural knowledge.
When you need advice on your landscape, view our online garden resources, stop by and chat with an expert, or schedule a one-on-one consultation!
If you’ve been experiencing problems in your yard and can’t seem to find a solution, call Dr. Q!
A wide range of factors can affect a plant’s health. Most of the time, our in-store experts will be able to offer gardeners a solution on the spot! However, there are times when diagnosing an issue is more complex. In this case, you may require an expert to visit your home and examine the issue.
When you schedule a house call with the Dr. Q team, you’ll be receiving one-on-one advice from a Star Nursery expert. For a service fee of $90, you will receive up to one hour of consultation in your yard. To set up an appointment, please visit your favorite Star Nursery location to purchase your House Call.

Summer Gardener’s Calendar & Holidays
SEPTEMBER
• Planting – Fall is a great planting season for all varieties of trees and shrubs! If you’re planting deciduous vines and groundcovers, be sure to get them established before cold weather sends them into dormancy. For seasonal color, plant garden mums!
• Watering – Reduce your watering schedule to a maximum of three days a week.
• Fertilize – Labor Day weekend is a great time to fertilize your lawn, roses, citrus, and fruit trees! Consider using an organic fertilizer such as Dr. Q’s Organic Fertilizer Line on edible plant varieties. If you have palm trees, remember that September is the last month of the year that you can fertilize.
• Lawns – Aerate, dethatch, overseed, and add about a half inch of top dressing (anytime in September-November). For more information, reference Star Note #830 – Spruce Up and Over-Seed Your Lawn.
• Roses – Light pruning is recommended after temperatures are below 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Hold off on heavy pruning until January.
• Palms – Prune only damaged or dead palm fronds. Do not over-prune, as it will stunt food production and consumption. Additionally, some palms may be chlorotic this time of year. If a palm is suffering from chlorosis, you’ll notice a yellowing of leaf tissue due to a lack of chlorophyll. Possible causes include poor drainage, damaged roots, compacted roots, high alkalinity, and nutrient deficiencies.
• Desert Trees – Clean up unwanted suckers and dead or broken branches. Hold off on heavy pruning until Spring (after the last chance of frost).
• Perennials – Continue to hose off plants frequently to control spider mites, aphids, and white flies. If needed, sparingly use Spinosad Insecticidal Soap or SAFER End All Insect Killer RTU.
• National Organic Month
• National Honey Month
• 2nd Labor Day
• 7th National Hummingbird Day
• 11th Patriot’s Day & 911 Remembrance Day
• 13th National Peanut Day

OCTOBER
• Planting – Continue planting all varieties of trees and shrubs! If you’re growing a vegetable garden, now is a great time to plant cool-season vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, radishes, and garlic! For more information, reference Star Note #200 – Cool Weather Vegetable Gardening. To prepare for spring, toss wildflower seeds to create a Spring Pollinator’s Garden!
• Mulch – Fall is the perfect time to refresh the mulch that may have degraded or blown away over the summer. Adding organic mulch will help to retain moisture between waterings, which will help plants in the transition to less frequent watering.
• Shrubs – If you’ve noticed a few shrubs that were not happy with their location during the summer months, now is the time of year that you can safely transplant them into a better location. Be sure to use Dr. Q’s Planting Partners (Dr. Q’s Paydirt, Dr. Q’s Gold Dust, and Dr. Q’s Plant Tonic) to help prevent transplant shock.
• Frost Preparation – Begin to stock up on burlap, frost cloth, and cactus covers. It is best practice to be prepared for the arrival of the first frost.
• Harvest – Now is the time to harvest pomegranates! To check if they are ripe, look for a red to reddish brown color on their outer shell.
• Weeds – Prepare for winter weeds by using pre-emergent herbicides, such as Hi-Yield Turf and Ornamental Weed and Grass Stopper, in desert landscapes, rockscapes, flower gardens, and well-established lawns and turfgrasses to prevent weeds before they germinate.
• Pruning – Lightly prune mature evergreen shrubs to remove any sun-damaged foliage. Follow up with Dr. Q’s Plant Tonic to stimulate new growth.
• National Vegetarian Awareness Month
• National Apple Month
• National Pickled Peppers Month
• 1st World Vegetarian Day
• 4th National Kale Day
• 12th Old Farmer’s Day
• 22nd National Nut Day
• 26th National Pumpkin Day
NOVEMBER
• Planting – November is a great time to plant Aloe, as it is a “cool-seasoned” succulent! Pick an area that has morning sun and afternoon shade, well-draining soil, and be careful not to over-water! Aloes, like all succulents, store lots of water in their leaves and hold onto it until it’s needed. In cooler temperatures, succulents will not transpire as quickly, which reduces the amount of water needed. For seasonal color, plant Pansies, Viola, and Cyclamen! Cyclamen are exceptionally cold-tolerant and will provide beautiful color well into spring!
• Frost – Begin checking the forecast for freeze warnings, as the first frost typically arrives in mid-November. Remember, plants must be protected when temperatures drop below 28 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have palm trees that are frost tender, wrap them with a Palm Parka to protect them through the winter. (Don’t forget to unwrap them in the spring.)
• Potted Plants – Bring cold-sensitive potted plants inside or to warmer areas. Small potted plants, such as succulents, can be brought indoors, while larger potted plants, such as citrus and pygmy palms, can be brought into a garage until the threat of freeze has passed.
• Cactus – Begin withholding water through February. By doing so, you will encourage dormancy and better protect the cactus from root rot or excessive freeze damage.
• Peppers – Pull pepper plants from your garden to allow the area to rest during the winter. Use this time to plant a different crop for the next season, as rotating crops helps to prevent soil-borne diseases and nutrient deficiencies.
• Yard Maintenance – Fallen leaves from healthy deciduous trees and conifers are nature’s mulch. Rather than raking up the leaves in your yard, consider leaving them to decompose, which will help add organic matter to desert-native soil.

CREATING A GRASS-TASTIC DESERT LANDSCAPE
The perfect blend of beauty and brawn
Decorative Grasses for the Desert Southwest
Desert landscaping can sometimes feel limiting and overwhelming, with so much emphasis on picking the right plants for the right spots. Many gardeners might feel like their options are limited. But here’s a game-changer: ornamental grasses. These versatile beauties are a fantastic addition to any desert-adapted landscape, adding the texture and movement your garden might be missing. As a bonus, they thrive where other plants struggle.
Why Decorative Grasses?
Most decorative grasses are water-wise perennials with deep root systems, making them perfect for our arid climate where every drop counts. Grasses also stabilize the soil, reducing erosion and enriching it with organic matter as they grow and decompose. But that’s not all—they improve biodiversity as well! By providing habitats for beneficial insects and birds, they ensure your garden isn’t just stunning but also teeming with life.
This warm season tufted grass grows to 3 feet, has a fine texture and dainty flowers that are held like small flags on stems, rising about the foliage from early summer–fall. Give full to part sun, well-drained soil, and moderate water in season.
Grass)
Tall, arching green leaves with feathery flower spikes that turn golden in fall. Clumping grass grows rapidly to 4 feet with white plumes summer-fall. Excellent border or accent. Likes full sun, amend the soil with Dr. Q’s Gold Dust Starter Fertilizer, 5-10-5, deep infrequent water once established. Goes dormant in severe winters, shear as close to the ground for a quick recovery.
Fast-growing ornamental grass grows to 8 feet has large white flower plumes most of the year. Pretty specimen, screen, or windbreak. Known for its rapid growth and extensive root system, it’s excellent for stabilizing slopes. Prefers full sun, any soil, and moderate to infrequent water once established. Prune as needed for form and control.
Superb border or accent. Plant in full sun with amended well-draining soil. Water deeply and infrequently when established. Goes dormant in severe winters, shear to the ground in spring.
Striking burgundy foliage and fluffy, reddish-purple plumes. The rich color comes from high anthocyanin levels, protecting the plant from harsh sun. Grows to 4 feet and is widely used as a desert garden specimen or accent plant. Prefers full sun, amended welldrained soil, and deep infrequent water once established.
This soft finely textured ornamental grass to 2 feet produces delicate flowering stems in summer. Its fine texture comes from its thin, flexible leaves that reduce water loss. Widely adaptable in its watering needs. It does best in amended soil and afternoon shade. Cut back the foliage in spring to renew, it self-sows readily.
Planting and Care Tips
• Site Selection: Choose a sunny spot. These grasses are sun-lovers and typically need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil Preparation: While they tolerate various soil types, amending desert soils by mixing in some organic matter can give them a good start. Aim for well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Water deeply but infrequently. Young plants need a bit more care, but once established, they’re quite drought resistant.
• Maintenance: Decorative grasses are low maintenance. Prune grasses back in the spring 2 to 12 inches above the ground depending on variety. Fertilize with Dr Q’s Rose & Flower Food, 6-12-4.
Design Tips
• Expand past the outskirts and use taller grasses as a backdrop and shorter ones as borders or groundcovers. Mix different textures and colors for a dynamic landscape.
• Consider grasses for a unique privacy screen or edge. Plant in sloped vacancies, or in high weed areas for a natural way to suppress them.
• Plant them where they can catch the breeze. The rustling sound adds a soothing, natural soundtrack to your garden. And the movement will add a whimsical touch.
• Many grasses change color with the seasons, providing year-round interest. Golden hues in the fall and silvery tones in winter. Decorative grasses are the perfect blend of beauty and brawn, ideal for the desert Southwest gardener. With many options to choose from, adding grass will create another dimension for your landscape. Visit Star Nursery today to find the perfect ornamental grass for your desert landscape!
Attractive hybrid grass grows to 3 feet has delicate pink plumes in fall.
The scorching summer heat is finally behind us, and our beautiful fall days have arrived once again. In the desert, this time of year is known as the “second spring,” when many of the same plants that thrived in May begin to produce again as temperatures cool. It’s also the perfect time to plant fall and winter vegetables, ensuring you can enjoy fresh, home-grown produce throughout the cooler months.
Reviving
Summer Plants
If your tomato plants have been struggling in the summer heat, now’s the time to cut them back and watch for new bloom sets. Peppers will also perk up, so inspect them for pests and diseases, then get ready for a bounty of flavorful meals this fall. To ensure a great harvest, use Dr. Q’s Organic Tomato and Vegetable Food every four weeks. For herbs that haven’t looked their best since June, prune them back and fertilize. Use a balanced fertilizer like Dr. Q’s Triple Play Lawn & Plant Fertilizer (7-7-7) for herbs like basil and cilantro that you don’t want to flower.
Planting Fall and Winter Vegetables
Fall and winter vegetables thrive with relatively little protection from the elements. Start by deciding what you’d like to eat this winter and plan your garden, accordingly, and consider each plant’s water, soil, and light requirements. Some vegetables, such as beets, carrots, lettuce, radishes, turnips, and rutabagas, work well from seed. Onion sets can be planted now for a spring harvest. For a quicker harvest, look for seedlings at Star Nursery. Fast-producing tomato varieties like the Early Girl can develop fruit before the first hard frost, while heirloom varieties like Brandywine and Black Krim tolerate cooler temperatures for a longer harvest. Lettuce, kale, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts will also do nicely through the winter, requiring just a burlap covering on those rare nights when we’re facing a freeze.
Optimal Growing Conditions
Make sure you plant in rich, well-draining soil to ensure the vitality of your vegetable bed. Our native soil is notoriously tough to dig into—even with a jackhammer—so you can imagine how challenging it would be for tender plant roots to establish themselves without a little help from you.
Ensure your vegetable bed is planted in rich soil with good drainage. Our native soil can be tough for tender roots to establish, so consider using raised beds or containers. Fill pots with well-draining soil like Dr. Q’s Vegetable & Herb Planting Mix. For larger areas, combine the Vegetable & Herb Planting Mix with high-quality topsoil. You can also save costs by buying a mix of organic compost and topsoil in bulk from our rock yards. Use Dr. Q’s Gold Dust Starter Fertilizer or Dr. Q’s Stardust Organic Starter Fertilizer when planting to encourage faster and healthier root growth.
Protecting Your Garden
Protect your vegetable beds from pests and other threats with preventive maintenance. Cedar mulch conserves soil moisture and repels insects. Companion planting with fragrant herbs like lavender, rosemary, and garlic, as well as scented ornamentals like marigolds, can also keep harmful bugs at bay including mosquitoes. Use Garlic Barrier concentrate, mixed with water and sprayed on plants every few weeks, for additional pest protection. Healthy plants fend off threats better than those lacking water and nutrients, so continue to fertilize appropriately throughout the growing season.
Enjoying the Fruits of Your Labor
Make the most of living in the desert Southwest by enjoying fresh edibles from your garden throughout the year. Visit your nearest Star Nursery to get started with cool-season vegetables and create the edible garden of your dreams!
CULTIVATING FRESH FLAVOR AND FRAGRANCE WITH HERBS
As the desert heat fades, gardeners gear up for fall planting. While some focus on aesthetics and others on native plants, many turn to herbs to spice up their kitchens and medicine cabinets. Don’t let the desert climate deter you! Fresh herbs can thrive anywhere, from sprawling backyards to cozy balconies. Dive into this guide to start your herb garden this fall and enjoy the flavors and aromas all season long.
Choosing the Right Herbs
• Culinary Herbs: Select your favorite kitchen flavors and enjoy them fresh or dried.
• Medicinal Herbs: Herbs are the foundation of medicine and are used in traditional remedies. Always consult your healthcare provider before using herbs for treatment.
• Aromatic Herbs: Lavender, lemon balm, and mint can add delightful scents to your garden.
Planting for Success Location
Herbs generally prefer sunny spots with well-drained soil. Some, like cilantro and mint, appreciate partial shade in hot climates. Container gardening is a great option for flexibility.
Soil
Preparation
Amend desert soils with compost or organic fertilizer. Use high-quality potting mix for containers.
Planting
Techniques
In the Ground
• Spacing: Ensure adequate space for air circulation and growth to prevent mold and disease.
• Depth: Plant at the depth recommended on the seed packet or plant tag.
In Containers
• Container Selection: Choose pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
• Soil: Use a potting mix that is light and well-draining like Dr. Q’s Potting Mix.
• Watering: Container plants dry out faster than those in the ground. Check soil moisture regularly with a moisture meter and water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Companion Planting
Herbs can be excellent companions to other garden plants. They often repel pests, attract beneficial insects, and enhance the growth of nearby vegetables. For example:
• Basil pairs well with tomatoes, repelling insects like aphids and whiteflies.
• Thyme and rosemary can deter cabbage moths and beetles.
• Chives help to repel aphids and improve the flavor of carrots.
Popular Herbs to Grow
• Basil: Perfect for summer dishes, pesto, and salads. Needs full sun and regular watering.
• Rosemary: A hardy perennial that adds flavor to meats and potatoes. Thrives in full sun and welldrained soil.
• Thyme: A versatile herb for soups, stews, and roasted vegetables. Prefers full sun and can tolerate dry conditions.
• Oregano: Ideal for Italian and Greek cuisine. Needs full sun and well-drained soil.
• Mint: Great for teas, desserts, and as a garnish. Prefers partial shade and can be invasive, so container planting is recommended. Gardening herbs can be a delightful and practical addition to your garden. With a little care and attention, you can enjoy fresh, flavorful herbs throughout the growing season. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, the versatility and benefits of herbs make them a must-have for any garden.

Garden Farms: Cultivating Community and Sustainability
Green Pages, Fall, 2024
Since 2010, Garden Farms has been empowering Southern Nevada communities to grow their own food sustainably. Starting with just a few clients, they soon expanded to build school gardens in collaboration with the Clark County School District, teaching individuals and students the benefits of organic gardening. This hands-on approach connects children to the food they grow and provides seniors with cherished memories, making gardening an emotional and intimate experience.
Community Initiatives and Outreach
In 2017, the Garden Farms Foundation was established to further their mission, focusing on clean food for underserved populations and garden education. This nonprofit supports low-income communities, senior centers, homeless youth centers, rehabilitation centers, and schools, helping to build and maintain gardens with the support of local sponsors and donors.
Garden Farms offers Junior Farmer Camps, local farmers markets, seasonal festivals, and twilight festivals, providing the community with hands-on gardening experiences. Their efforts include school, backyard, and community gardens, as well as public and virtual classes.
Notable projects include the Farm to School Grant at Fay Galloway Elementary School and Pumpkin Park, Henderson’s first community garden. Partnerships with Cisco, Nevada Trees, Sprouts Farmers Markets, and the City of Henderson have been key to these successes.
Garden Farms is increasing homeowner interest in backyard garden-
ing and working with homeowner associations to incorporate edible landscaping. Since 2011, they have partnered with over 300 Southern Nevada schools to implement vegetable gardens and provide garden education.
Environmental Conservation Efforts
By collecting kitchen refuse, mycelium waste, and coffee grounds they can create their own compost to garden with. Additionally, their gardens feature pollinator habitats and use drip irrigation to conserve water. Partnering with local nurseries, nonprofits, and schools, they plant fruit trees to combat heat deserts and food scarcity.
Get Involved with Garden Farms
Garden Farms offers Farmer for a Day programs, farmers markets, festivals, public classes, and Junior Farmer Camps. They provide free consultations to help start gardens and welcome donations to support school garden builds and programming.
