I highly recommend visiting Alvarez Nursery and speaking to Daniel for all your planting needs…read more He has a calm demeanor and will answer your gardening questions. He is more of an educator than a salesman. I've made many purchases here. If he can't find the plants/trees you need, he will refer you to a trusted nursery. This makes Daniel my first point of contact for all my gardening and landscape needs. The best part is that he'll provide you with his cell phone number and you can text him with questions and orders. His prices are also great. Don't hesitate, visit or call him and you'll have the confidence to begin planting.

I bought two milkweed plants from Monarca because I had a Monarch caterpillar baby boom -- 22 of…read morethem at one time and they had stripped the milkweeds I had. But there must've been some pesticide overspray on the plants from Monarca because my caterpillars all died. I watched some of them twitching violently before they died. I visited this nursery once before and was impressed by the large number of milkweed plants in stock. The owner even showed me a green Monarch chrysalis that was attached ito a piece of drip tubing. I didn't even think about the pesticide aspect until my caterpillars died. If you don't care whether or not they use pesticides then sho here but if you're trying to raise Monarch caterpillars, then you should go contact the people at This Is a Monarchy, which is up in Thousand Oaks. These people are very careful even about the fertilizer they use and use zero pesticides. You have to call them and make an appointment because it's a private residence. They're the ones who told me what probably happened to my poor caterpillars. I still feel bad about them!

The store isn't as massive as other large big box stores, but they carry just enough to have a little of everything.
