    Have been here twice so far, a super cute plant nursery. Well organized and fun to wander through. They have some indoor houseplants, herbs and veggie starters, lots of succulents and other garden plants. There's lots of plants and garden accessories available as well. Overall, the plants all seem healthy and well cared for. Prices are reasonable. The lady working was very kind and pleasant.

    Outstanding nursery and so beautifully laid out. The prices are amazing. So much to inspire your gardening or to just enjoy. I had a wonderful time wandering through the sections of houseplants, pots, outdoor plants, and my favorite- succulents! They have everything you need to create the succ garden of your dreams. Rocks, driftwood, all manner of hand - thrown pottery, and of course the plants themselves Go! And don't forget to check in w Yelp you'll get a discount! That is all.

    I hardly write reviews but the experience here made my day. This was my first time coming to a nursery, I felt like I needed a change in my life and I thought I should look at some plants maybe to boost my mood. I was browsing and asked one of the workers if they had eucalyptus. He then went out of his way to cut down eucalyptus for me and since I said I was going to use it in my shower he took his free time to then assort the eucalyptus and add lavender to the bundle so that I can hang it above my shower head and it looked amazing. This made my day thinking about how thoughtful a human being can be. Trying to share that positive energy is so important and I felt that today! Thank you to the worker who took your time to make the bundle for me!

    One of my favorite nurseries in Encinitas! I have been here a few times already after my first visit a few months ago. The entrance is a little hidden, so make sure you don't miss it. This nursery has a wide selections of plants. My favorite was the room where there was a lot of snake plants and air plants! I remember watching a video on this plant that closes when you touch it, and low & behold they sold that plant here! It is probably one of my favorite plants that I own at the moment. There is a really awesome selection of tiny succulents. My favorite were the "hairy" looking succulents. This is a great place to get cute healthy plants and start your garden!

    This place is fantastic! I don't know much at all about plants but wanted to create a succulent centerpiece. Jane was amazing! So talented and patient. Nate also popped over with recommendations that were great. I would definitely go here again for future projects.

    This is by far my favorite nursery! They have such an amazing selection of indoor/outdoor plants... and the best pots! Excellent customer service, all of the staff is super helpful and knowledgeable.

This is located off of Piraeus Street that runs along the Northbound 5fwy. We entered Piraeus from Leucadia Boulevard. The commercial entrance came up first, then the regular customer entrance, thanks to their clear signs. It was mid-afternoon on a Thursday in January, so maybe that's why the nursery lot was kind of empty the further we went in. At the front area though, there were poinsettia trees still in bloom. I didn't even know that they can grow into trees (they don't last very long after the holidays in my care, lol), so I was actually fascinated to see them so big. They also had a fenced area with 2 small goats, possibly pygmy goats...so cute and friendly. Considering the cold weather, they had a good selection of healthy cacti, potted flowers and plants at reasonable prices (i.e., 4" pot of succulent $5.99, 6pk annuals/perennials $4.99). The bigger shrubs like hydrangea and hebe coed were more expensive ($26.99 and $28.99, respectively), but beautifully kept. We had no plans to garden any time soon so didn't plan on buying anything, but ended up getting some plant accessories, including a car-shaped ceramic planter that kiddo really liked, lol. Service was okay. We were the only ones there and took our time browsing, but no one asked if we needed help. The woman at the cash register wasn't rude, but not particularly friendly either.

They reproduce quickly And the life span is a month. I have a greenhouse and 50 plants in my house. I asked for a refund and he said no and just sprayed the plant down with I'm assuming is neem oil. But now I have to separate this plant leave it outside, hose it down kill the bugs and constantly repeat it till they're all gone. To be honest, I just wanted my $43 stock and I can get this plant somewhere else.. I 100% will never recommend this place to anyone

    I have completely fallen in love with this gem of a nursery in Encinitas. I have been searching for…read morerare plants all over North County and have found that this has the best selection and best value for rare houe plants. This whole rack of plants came from Cordova, and not a single one can be found at any other nursery for these affordable prices (think 25%-50% of the price you'd find online). I have found several White Princess and Pink Princess Philodendron that have made exquisite gifts for the holidays. The most amazing Philodendron I found was the Jose Bueno, its leaves are easily at least 18" and I snagged it for 1/3 the online price! I have also found Swiss Cheese Monstera, as well as Thai Constellation and Albo varieties. My other amazing find has been their String of Turtles and String of Hearts, which are very rare as compared to the more typical string of pearls. The owner shared with me that he's been in business for over 38 years! He is super knowledgeable and has a vast inventory (hence the competitive pricing). The plants are all super healthy, and I've not had a single pest interloper from their collection. I have never left this nursery without finding what I was looking for. So if you're looking for presents this season (prepare to wow all of your friends and family while not breaking the bank) or want to expand on your rare house plant collection, this is your spot. Go before I buy all their plants.

We've always loved the vibe and selection here, but working with Jason completely changed the game for us. It's one thing to have an amazing green thumb (which he absolutely does), but Jason has a rare, uniquely brilliant talent for exterior design. We came in with a few scattered ideas for our backyard, and he instantly mapped out a cohesive, stunning visual plan that we never could have dreamed up on our own. What we appreciated most was his sheer passion. He didn't just point us toward the right aisles; he genuinely cared about the long-term success of our project. Redoing a yard is a massive investment, but Jason's expertise and enthusiasm made us feel completely confident in the decisions and investments we were making. We are so incredibly grateful for Jason and how fantastic he has been to work with. He turned what could have been an overwhelming project into an absolute joy. If you are heading to Moon Valley Nurseries, do yourself a favor and ask for Jason... he is an absolute rockstar!

It's a nice cafe in Solana Beach. The service is amazing and their specialty Lattes are what I go for. I enjoy the French and Brazilian cafe music they play in the background. I enjoyed the coastal breeze. While you sip and enjoy a treat you can perhaps play tic tac toe and or other games on the front patio/ picket fenced in yard. Super cute place! The Lattes I go for are The Gardener (lavender, honey, vanilla) and The Farmer(vanilla and brown sugar). Made with organic espresso and love. We've even enjoyed visiting the bunnies for 22$ per person (plus tip if you'd like too) gives you about 20-30 minutes of interaction with the bunnies. You sign a waiver with the host and they'll give you instructions on the rules. You might even get to feed them too. I loved it so much! I grew up with bunnies as pets so this was soooo nostalgic for me! Come and support this family owned business and perhaps pet a bunny.

Instead of treating customers with even basic courtesy, she was annoyed that anyone was there. A simple question was met with a nasty attitude, and the interaction left us feeling completely unwelcome. I saw her speak to other customers in the same manner, so it wasn't just us. Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't any better. It was poorly made, tasted burnt and bitter, and wasn't worth finishing. For a coffee shop, that's the one thing that should be done well. There are plenty of other local cafés where you'll be treated with respect and get a much better cup of coffee. Only draw is the bunnies, who I really hope Samantha treats with more care and kindness than she does her customers; I honestly am concerned for their wellbeing after experiencing how Samantha treats people.
