Though it's a neighborhood, it's not an overly packed one, so it was cool! Vibes: Welcome to the Linda Vista neighborhood. You're not too far away from the main plaza, but when you're here, it feels completely different. Though it's a house, it feels like you're in a nursery. They have a lot of plants, it left me pretty surprised. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people who were super knowledgeable. OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! I had a great experience here. It was fun walking around getting lost, seeing the different plants and seeing them thriving. They had some plants/produce I didn't expect to see. I wish I had a garden now to grow some of these plants but all in all, great place! Represent-ASIAN! Tips: * Plan accordingly, call ahead of time to check if they got what you're looking for. * Ong has a double meaning in Chinese - prosperity or pineapple.

It's not your typical plant store, but they have a pretty impressive selection of unique and rare cacti.

I came here for their selection of pothos and their selection (plant size and health) were excellent and the prices could not be beat even by the big box stores.

This is located off of Ocean View Avenue towards the cul-de-sac. It's in a residential neighborhood so there's no lot, and street parking becomes limited during these open houses. We arrived about 12:30pm on Saturday, and were able to find one spot nearby. This appears to be a small nursery from the outside, but it's actually pretty big as it goes deep inside. They have multiple big greenhouses with tons of unusual species. There was a sign at the entrance to leave purses and backpacks in the car. I had my purse on me, but didn't know until we got there. I understood why when I went inside the first greenhouse. The rows are setup pretty tight. There's also rows of epiphytes, making it really tight from top to bottom, so I had to carry my purse on my chest the whole time in order to not disturb anything. Although it was March, a lot of the plants were not in bloom or perhaps newly propagated so I just saw green everywhere and got bored; disappointed that I wasn't able to see the different flowers (not the nursery's fault). It's been cold this year so maybe it'll be more colorful later on? Also, pricing wasn't clear, and a lot were not for sale (some were marked "Not for Sale" or "NFS," but others weren't marked at all although they weren't on sale either). I get it, it's normally not open to the public (just by appointment only or during their open houses) so it's not really setup to accommodate regular customers like us. Their next open house is in June (6/20-6/22/25) so we might come back then to see if there are more blooms and if some of the ones we were looking at will be propagated for sale. They also will be at South Coast Plaza's Spring Garden Show in April (4/24-4/27/25).
