Fantastic southwest art ~ made in Tucson

Tourists are unlikely to find this unique store. In fact, native Tucsonans are unlikely to find this store! It's well known to landscape designers, though, as THE source for locally-manufactured metal yard art. Outdoor sculpture (desert animals, cactus), garden stakes, wall sconces, prickly pear table bases -- if you want a touch of the Southwest in your home or on your patio, this is the place. And the prices are terrific! The retail store is a division of an international manufacturing firm. CAID Designs is located at 2001 E Ganley Rd (near the airport). Their phone is 889-7775.

  1. thanks for the info. I wonder if that's where that fabulous metal ocotillo you posted a month or two back came from.

  2. Hi Ellen, I have to look back on the postings to see which one you mean. When I get my garden looking a little more "garden"-like (after I finish removing all of the dead stuff), I'm going to add something from this store but I'll have a hard time chosing just one thing!

  3. ah, I had to look as I too was curious if I remembered correctly: March 7...beautiful grouping of a curvy ocotillo and flowering prickly pear. I am tempted to buy more metal and less live plants this year(however the odds of another winter like the one we just had are pretty slim, at least for many years...hopefully!)

  4. That is great metal yard art. I wish I was that creative.
