  Hiking is a popular recreational pastime in Arizona, as a get-away from urban living, while enjoying the beauty and wildlife of nature. Hiking season runs all year in Arizona. Of course, with unpredictable weather and fires, some trails may be closed anytime during the season. The websites for the area will usually inform you of any closures or cautions and we provide links for most of the trails in our directory Search Tucson Pictures

The Native Seeds / SEARCH building is painted to look like a garden with the top half of the building painted blue and white which seemed to blend into the sky on the day we visited

A major portion of the store is devoted to seeds (go figure) and they have dozens, if not more varieties of native seeds. Most are available in the front of the store, some of the most rare and difficult to preserve are kept in back, just ask. There is a seed catalog tied to the seed rack in case you forgot yours at home.

We joined Native Seeds / SEARCH again during our visit. It's been many years since I've let my membership expire and it felt good to support such a worthwhile organization again. You can join also, at the store , by mail or on their website. Do yourself a favor and join at the $25 or any amount higher and join the fun of growing native species. As a new member I received membership packet with a welcome letter, a recent newsletter, window decal, seed catalog, and more

Native Seeds/SEARCH is a nonprofit conservation organization based in Tucson, Arizona. NS/S works to conserve, distribute and document the adapted and diverse varieties of agricultural seed, their wild relatives and the role these seeds play in cultures of the American Southwestern and northwest Mexico. Our mission began in 1983, springing from the nexus of cultural longing and impending loss of genetic diversity. Today we safeguard 2000 varieties of arid-land adapted agricultural crops. Some, like watermelons, were adapted from seeds brought by early Europeans. Most of our collection consists of varieties of indigenous crops developed over centuries or millennia to suit the needs of their human partners. We promote the use of these ancient crops and their wild relatives by distributing seeds to traditional communities and to gardeners world wide. Currently we offer 350 varieties from our collection, grown out at our Conservation Farm in Patagonia, Arizona. We also work to preserve knowledge about the traditional uses of the crop we steward. Through research, seed distribution and community outreach NS/S seeks to protect biodiversity and to celebrate cultural diversity. Both are essential in connecting the past to the future.
