A great small California native plant nursery. This nursery has potential to be something great. We were looking for a ceanothus-Ray Hartman and this nursery had a few 1 gallon in stock. The staff was super friendly and asked us if we had any questions or needed help multiple times. We definitely will be back for more plants in the near future. California Native plants os the way to go. Drought tolerate is the way to go these days.

Always on the lookout for native plants for my container garden, I finally found time during the pandemic to visit this lovely nursery. It's tucked away in Hahamongna Watershed Park, near the Frisbee golf course. The staff were very helpful in suggesting which plants would survive the summer heat with minimal water. The nursery is nonprofit and not huge, so don't expect a large amount of overwatered plants as in many for-profit nurseries. The focus is on propagating native plants; the business end seems to be an after-thought. There are a few books and T-shirts for sale as well as the plants. Definitely worth a visit. Free parking in the lot. Find out more, including hours, here: https://www.arroyoseco.org/nursery.htm

I've been stuck in a native gardening phase since everything went closed, and it was the perfect time to set some time to redesign my front lawn. I stumbled across this nursery on Google maps haphazardly and decided to give it a go not expecting much. A little bit deep and difficult to find at first, this nursery can be found by following the nursery signs on the long-routed road. Soon you will see some horses and then park right near the side entrance into the garden. With many rows of native plants from their garden to replenish the Arroyo Seco area, this cute little place was staffed with a very knowledgable and passionate team. They spent almost the entire team giving the best customer service going over each native plant. Each plant has a info placard with picture of the maturing flowering stage. The 1-gallon pot ranges from $10 and up, but definitely worth the experience of giving back to the community!

Great selection of native plants and super helpful staff. We replaced our grass lawn with drought tolerant native plants & added some to a sunny balcony. Also a great way to support the local ecosystem by helping butterflies, bees, hummingbirds etc. Located in the Hahamonga Watershed Park down a long road.

I was looking for some specific, hard to find varieties of California Lilacs and found them here at this friendly, helpful, "magical" place. Hidden way back in the Hahamonga Park area near the old Tom Sawyer Camp, I'd lived in Altadena 40 years and had never heard of it. Fortunately, I stumbled upon it and I am so glad I did. The variety of healthy plants there, coupled with knowledge and helpfulness on the part of everyone, made the who experience a pleasure!

Incredible selection, outstanding customer service, the best native nursery in CA! Absolutely love this little nursery, they have a great selection and very fair prices but the best part about the experience is the tremendously friendly and knowledgeable staff!! I highly recommend visiting this nursery, located directly across the street from La Canada HS. This nursery offers a wonderful selection of milk weed, just make sure you call in advance because they sell out pretty quick. 3 plants per customer on these specialties. Also great selection of bushes, trees, shrubs and other plants. Again.. all native!!

Great time here, wide selection of CA Native plants. The staff was warm welcoming and knowledgeable. I was able to get a tour of the garden to-see what mature native plants look like. I will be back soon!!

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.

I had a money tree in a low bisque glazed piece of architectural pottery and let's just say it had…read moreseen better days. So I put it out of its misery. And subsequently sought some of my local nurseries, pottery in hand, to find a suitable replacement plant. The first one I tried was a super hip spot in Highland Park. They were closed, no hours posted. IG famous? Then another on Fig. Almost no stock, nobody working. The Silver Lake one I had frequented for years was empty, but the dude I spoke with said 'yeah, pick out the plant you want.' I said 'well that's the part I could use some help with.' He pretended not to hear. I left. I remembered a spot on York but couldn't find and and then recalled the name: BLVD. Turns out they have one in Pasadena. GPS said 15 minutes. Let's do this. I found it and parked easily. Impressive stock, elevated minimal design, lots of concrete and stone planters, great pots, lots of texture, and a curated selection, from super cool architectural plants all the way down to humble basil. I approached a group of men resting under an awning. Turns out they'd just built it. Ramon jumped right in and showed me why BLVD is the absolute best. It was a blisteringly hot day but he showed me lots of options and talked everything through with a super positive attitude and lots of great information. Truly a first class experience. Love the interior space too, lots of room to see how plants and their vessels play out aesthetically. We settled on a Queensland bottle tree -- he planted it and gave it a proper zhuzh with some gravel, and sent me on my way, beautiful plant in my car. The experience was so positive that I'm plotting more foliage upgrades. Keep you posted. Until then, thank you BLVD, thank you Ramon.
