    "Constellation Lake" by Elissa Nesheim

    We were surprised by the reasonable prices in this shop full of colorful, pretty, and well made things. Commercial rent is so expensive in north Santa Cruz County, which is the second most expensive place to rent or own in the US, after the south Silicon Valley - San Jose area, which is the most expensive. So, many brick and mortar stores in north county do not cater to locals as much as to tourists, who are more likely to splurge on higher priced things as part of their weekend getaway or longer vacation. We are not rich by any means, and only walked out with a greeting card for our uncle --a good quality reproduction of a watercolor landscape by local artist Elissa Nesheim-- but we will come back later and consider the interesting ceramic cylindrical storage containers. The accompanying photo is Yelp's square-cropped portion of Nesheim's card. The crop does not do it justice, as the original card is a vertical rectangle depicting the Milky Way spread elegantly upwards into a dark blue night sky --but you get the idea.

    Stumbled upon this shop while searching for holiday gifts. Was pleasantly surprised at all that was there! Really cute boutique gifts, also very useful and eco friendly items, plus what would feel random to some. I ended up with reusable silicone food storage bags, a Star Wars baking matt, a few other things, and randomly - a David Bowie bingo set. Great customer service. Very clean, hand sanitizer at the door, not at all cluttered for how small the shop is. They even have a rewards program. Located in midtown Santa Cruz - Great location for local shops and eats.

    Perfect little jewelry holder for my dresser

    Love stopping by this shop when I am in town! They have the cutest items. You can find almost anything here from rugs to jewelry. I usually look for items to furnish my room like a new print to hang on my wall or new plants holders to hang from the ceiling. Their items can be a little pricey if you're on a budget but I usually find that the quality is worth the price. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. The customer service is also great:) Both ladies I met were very nice and helpful. Parking is easily found on the street and there are other cute shops and restaurants nearby.

I mean seriously, did someone read my journal of Favorite Things and create this store just for me?!! L-O-V-E! There is no walking around downtown Santa Cruz without stopping by Botanic and Luxe. I have purchased gifts here as well as framed art (with a locally-made wooden frame) that hangs in my home, and recently attended their anniversary event where they had local vendors serve matcha and desserts, and they provided 20% off the entire store, so naturally I went home with another plant baby. Even though the store was PACKED with customers, they asked me if I needed help twice and also spent time giving me plant care instructions! Botanic is a higher-end plant shop, so expect to see some matching "luxury" prices as well. But people don't usually come here to get the best deal; they come to feel a certain way while they peruse a beautiful shop that sources many items locally, to get a certain level of service, and to be ensured a certain quality of product.

    I absolutely love this cute little spot in Santa Cruz. I have a little tradition that every time I…read morecome here I buy a new plant. The day I bought the cutest little mini monstera. They also have a wonderful variety of different artisan crafts and very delightful scented oils. If you want to uplift your mood, come into botanic and lux. In a good mood immediately with all their soothing music and they're gorgeous atmosphere. The service is always very friendly and I plan to patron this place very often.

Its so cute and so healthy…read more They put them in a cute lil gift box (My daughter bought them for me!) and it made me feel really special as I was having a hard week. I am a plant enthusiast and I love to hoard plants. This is a dangerous place for a plant hoarder! lol

    Dig Gardens in Santa Cruz has it all: plants, trees, succulents, pots, planting accessories,…read morebooks, gifts, furniture, cards, and even jewelry.... But did you know they also have classes?!!! I KNOW, RIGHT?!! That's crazy. I thought they had everything, but now they really do! I took my first class at Dig Gardens: it was to make a Kokedama (a plant growing out of a moss ball that you can hang or place). It was taught by Kitty, whom I adore because, well, she's the sweetest. I picked a Lemon Lime Prayer Plant, named it "Stanley", and had to rework it several times to a point that it was almost embarrassing. Thankfully I know the instructor, so that made it better. Haha. The other "students" were awesome because aren't all plant parents and plant lovers the best?!! Well we all laughed when we lost leaves or messed up. It was really fun. This class included all the materials, tools, your choice of plant, and drinks (water or wine). No one surprisingly chose wine - I guess we took Kokodama very seriously! It was a 2 hour class but finished in 1.5 hours. It was around $65 I believe, and totally worth the experience as well as all the materials. Classes take place behind the store in a little workshop in the outdoor garden. Only a couple people took the class with a friend, and everyone else took it solo, like me. I would definitely take another class here.
