Another pot with 'soul'..
Sean A.

This place is fantastic! I work in Design and nothing makes me cringe more than seeing a home with great furniture and plants in terrible pots! It's difficult to find cool and interesting pots and vessels that don't cost a small fortune via an antique store or boutique import store. 'Dream Garden', is an incredible local-owned small business with a huge selection of every shape and size ranging from Modern to pieces with soul and character that look like they were purchased at auction. They also have great plants...I scored an amazing Australian bottle tree during my last visit (if you know...you know).

My partner wanted to adventure during phase 2 of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here was our experience on a Saturday morning. Parking: Street parking and maybe 3 or 4 parking spots inside. Feels: The surroundings are nice. It's a garden in the city of Los Angeles so the surrounding can get busy. The vibe itself is pretty nice, the garden is big with a range of plants - big, small, flowers, and cactuses. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great. The dude knew his plants and was pretty friendly. OVERALL: 4 Stars. I enjoyed my time here. This is a spot for plant enthusiasts and plants. Even if you're not a fan, there are a few good spots to sit and admire the plants. In a busy city going vibe, this is a pleasant calming spot. Tips: * Make time for parking * Call ahead of time to confirm some plants.

Pretty cool!

I happened to see this place driving home while shopping at another garden spot and decided to stop. Incredible variety/types of plants. There were plants here I've never seen before or anywhere else....there are more outdoor plants then indoor ones, but still something for everyone....AND the pots! Very unique with all ranges of styles and materials....AND hanging out in a back corner were the fanciest pigeons I'd ever seen! The good: -free small parking lot in back (thank you!) -lots of variety -friendly employee helping when needed The bad: my only complaint is the majority of pots and plants had no pricing on it. I wish they'd write on the plastic container or a piece of tape the prices so we're not having to search for someone to ask. Other than this, I really like the place and will be back!

They carry large plants as well

Came here because I was in the area, just a little run down for my taste. A lot of interesting plants but most of them where in bad condition. Guess just expected more from a nursery... also a lot of the plants didn't have a price. Anyway I wouldn't be back.... But they do have some parking but hard to exit better park outside...

Businesses aren't always aptly named, but the paradise you'll find on the Northeast corner of Sunset and Highland (stretching to McCadden Pl) certainly deserves to be called the "Dream Garden". As soon as you walk in, you're immersed in towering, stunning plants: Bougainvillea, Mandevilla, flowering vines, exotic cacti, stunning trees unlike anything you'd see in the nursery section of the huge chains. There's even an indoor greenhouse that feels like you're in the rainforest. And if you need pots or planters, you'll find a rare selection of some of the finest, high quality items I've ever seen. But perhaps what makes this place most special is the owner, John. I rarely write reviews, but because of his knowledge, and his kind nature and excellent customer service, I wanted to take the time to steer others his way. I've been gardening all forty years of my life, but in the several months that I've been coming to the Dream Garden, I've learned so much from him. He's pointed me to a cutting edge soil that has even my most stubborn plants jumping for joy. He's taught me proper feeding and watering regimes, and how best to plant certain notoriously tricky plants. As a result, the garden at my music studio is booming and always fetches me compliments-- see pictures below. If you're looking for a place with exceptional quality, a knowledgeable and kind staff, a fantastic experience and fair prices, make sure to pop in for a visit at the Dream Garden!

This is literally my favorite plant shop hands down! Their outdoor selection is huge, and always have the best pots ever! I love the owners! They always greet me by my name and ask for the plants I've taken home! Thats pretty impressive counting I have over 30! The prices are always good and they don't go with the fads and up the price on a plant when they become "popular". They always offer tips and tricks, to repot the plant for you, and even drill holes on your pot if needed! I absolutely love this place!

The selection of plants isn't great and everything is horribly overpriced. Management could use some lessons in manners because customer service is badly lacking. The guy who helped me with my order was downright nasty. Apparently it wasn't just me because I also overheard him arguing with some poor guy in the back room. "Dream" garden... More like a nightmare!

My new cactus, just delivered by the kind fellow from Dream Garden, and ready to be repotted.

See all

The Standard Design Group Nurseries

I loved this nursery. They sold me a sycamore tree and later I got a tulip tree. Both healthy and…read moredid well. Staff was always professional. I am sad the Lincoln Ave location closed as they moved their stock to their Hollywood location. But may still visit given previous excellent experience.

Substandard design and substandard installation…read more I contacted Standard Design Group to replace the 3/4" crushed rock that had washed away from my parking strip. I was thinking of using epoxy-stabilized gravel. I had other matching rock in the front yard. I expected to use something smaller per the epoxy maker's recommendations. Alan, Standard Design Group's designer, recommended using 3/4" crushed rock so it would match the pathway through the center of the front yard. This was terrible advice. Epoxy-coated rock is much darker than uncoated rock, so matching the size was irrelevant. The epoxy-coated 3/4" rock has enormous spaces between the rocks that trap trash and leaves and allow weeds, wildflowers, and the neighboring palm trees to germinate in them. Weeding the porous structure is very difficult. Pulling the wildflowers has broken loose large chunks of the epoxy-coated rock. Small chunks and individual rocks are breaking free from foot traffic. Alan never visited the site. He underestimated the amount of epoxy required. The installation crew's foreman was going to leave patches of the rock uncoated. When I saw it and told him that it was not what I expected, he had the workers mix some of the already coated and curing rock with the dusty, uncoated rock. This resulted in weak bonding with even larger spaces between the rocks. There were still uncoated patches left. I contacted Standard Design Group by email after the installation and again after chunks of rock began breaking free. I did not receive a response.
