If there's an individual who best personifies sustainable landscape practices, permaculture, it's…read moreMike: Unique's, well, rather unique owner. Straightaway, his MO is the antithesis of transactional; it's more zen, quietly high-minded, if you will. A community shaping healthy ecosystems come way before commerce. If you're lucky, you meet Mike. If time allows maybe you get to know him: the little boy he's a caretaker to. The Roadrunner Mike shares his breakfast with. The down-on-their-luck types he's given shelter to. Perhaps someone might've referenced his Saturday radio program. (Mike won't, given his humility.) Or, his Wednesday assistant happens to gift you half a dozen brown and green eggs from the hen who roams the yard. Then it begins to dawn what an honest-to-goodness treasure we have. That is if you get it. Apparently half the Yelp posters don't. Just like our very environs, Mike shouldn't bend to your needs. An issue cited by a couple reviewers--the scattershot hours Mike keeps; "the gate always closed"--is a nonstarter. That owes itself to a 60-something who's forever hustling; taking care of people. Hauling down to San Diego, or up to the Central Valley for increasingly harder-to-find healthy trees. Locals know: When immersing in a desert landscape, patience, being mindful, not to mention showing respect for surroundings allows the beauty to emerge. The payoff comes your way. Without doubt, the same can be said of Mike and Unique.

I wasn't sure what to expect since the reviews seem to be all over the place... but wow what a gem!…read moreIf you want orderly plants all in a row sparkling in plastic perfection like Home Depot, maybe you should go to Home Depot. This is for the folks who like a treasure hunt, maybe the folks who love thrift stores and vintage cars, and see beauty in diversity. Yep, it's a little bit messy, but staffing shortages abound everywhere and here is no exception. We used a gift certificate to pick out a few apple trees and a bunch of sages and other things, which all looked a bit rough around the edges because of the season. Once they got settled in at home they're all thriving, and one sage has even re-bloomed way ahead of schedule. I'm so glad we visited, it was such a treat to see this little oasis!

I've been having issues with gut health / bloating / unexpected weight gain due to medical issues. The owner was very informative on the products she sells and recommended an item for me. It's been 3 straight days using the item and it has decreased my bloating without having to drink detox teas or bloating pills. I put this business on my recommendations list and advise any JT/YV visitors to come here :)

This was not my mother ship if you know what I mean. I went in at 8:15 - .... Which usually when it's 45 min to close good luck finding anyone helpful that has a personality . I stand corrected. Two night employees Kiersten and James changed all of that . James was in the garden area and they did not have the item I wanted , but James found me a better solution for a better price - he knows his stuff. Kiersten was a life saver and had a wonderfully warm personality and literally made my night . These two made me just about want to work there as they were the kind of people you dream of having as employees . Shout out to the two of you . I will definitely be back !

In addition. If you decide to trek out there, middle of nowhere in the desert, wear sneakers, bring water. Expect to be quoted outrageously high amounts for their plants. Expect to have a hard time finding someone to even ask. Theyre really NOT a nursery. They cater to contractors only.
