Meandering paths lead you through cottage gardens, shade gardens, and quiet Zen corners. It's a whimsical multi-acre experience with display gardens, gift shops, animals, a farmstand, and the largest year-round Christmas store in SLO County. Beyond plants, you'll find antiques, books, home goods, and garden art. It's one of my favorite places to pick up unique gifts for family and friends, and somehow I always leave with something for my own garden collection. There's also a seasonal farmstand offering fresh produce and local eggs from nearby ranches. It's peaceful, magical, and endlessly inspiring, always giving me new ideas for my own backyard. PS - it's free and open daily.

Many of them have a wonderful handmade look, and also recall Christmas from years gone by. They still have their tea, coffee and snack bar open so you can sip a hot drink and walk around and enjoy the plants while you plan your Christmas decorations

We wandered into Grow because I created a large succulent garden during the pandemic by taking daily rides to all the succulent vendors in SLO. My succulent garden has grown, as has my love of the kooky twisty Dr. Seuss-like plants. I am also happy that they thrive without water! We loved the succulents, displayed in front of and behind the store. There were some new ones, and many large ones that would be a fun addition to any collection. Surprisingly, what really caught my attention was the large collection of minerals in the main indoor room. I collected them as a nerdy kid, and now my grandson loves them from reading the Harry Potter books!
