When I walk-up to the cashier later to be known manager/owner I ask him the price for the bunch, hey says they have different prices and asked me to wait and so we did. While waiting I was comparing the dress color with the coral roses and showing my brother whom is the florist if it match it really did. He comes out and says that the coral roses are not available and I asked him why if they were with the others and not set aside. He said "I didn't invite you to my cooler." I replied "I didn't know that you had to ask for permission because the last time I came I didn't." The worker had not informed me that I needed permission to enter, instead he helped me pick out the roses that later were not available to me. "Can you make an exception for this time.: He says "no, if you keep persisting I will not sell you anything. I said why? He could had offer other roses maybe another slightly different color. But he decides to pushe the cart away and said that I was annoying. Slams the window and refuses to Sell me flowers. It felt horrible and I didn't where else to go. I'm glad that I experience this incident someway because I wouldn't want to treat my customers like this at all. I understand that he may have had a bad day or just didn't like me, but he shouldn't have to treated or reacted aggressive and unprofessional. Horrible.....horrible experience been to kitayama in hayward & watsonville san francisco flower market and never ever experienced this kind of service. I felt discriminated. Bad customer-service and disrespectful.

I wanted to buy the 'crown of thorns' succulent that produces either white, red, pink or yellow flowers....i figured i'd walk and finish looking and come back before i left...didn't realize that was a popular so by the time i returned it was gone except for a lone yellow one so i snagged that one along with an air plant...really pretty! I didn't get her name but guessing the owner, Carol was nice enough to look in her inventory to see if there was others hiding....darn...none...she told me how to care as i've killed a couple of air plants...you'd think all it needed was air but nope, you need to 'water' (misting) them at least twice a week...i never know if im not giving enough or too much as sometimes the base looks rotted...I'll buy one more and cross my fingers it survives! I'll definitely have to either drive to Watsonville and make it a day or visit the Alamada Antique Fair again on first Sunday of the month.

Also, though it may not be obvious from the freeway as you drive by, they have the most adorable gift shop, which has an enchanting zen vibe. Very large and full of unique decor items ranging from hanging glass, wood sculptures, ceramics, and a great selection of tiny fairy garden accessories. Absolutely worth the drive from anywhere!

The entire process was seamless from order to delivery to the funeral home, and I also greatly appreciated her sensitivity and kindness during a difficult time.

Highly recommend.

The Sunrise Nursery is a commercial nursery specializing in the cultivation of cut flowers most of…read morewhich are sold at farmers markets throughout California. Our small tour group stopped here for a private tour of the farm and the hot houses. This was also the setting for our catered lunch prepared by two chefs from the Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association. The family-run nursery specializes in hundreds of varieties of flowers mostly used for decoration. Steve Fernandes' family operates the nursery, and he gave us several hours of his time to share his knowledge and show us around the maze of outdoor gardens and humid hot (really hot), hot houses. As our mini bus pulled up onto the driveway we were greeted by Nita Gizdich who co-founded the Gizdich Ranch located across the street from the Sunrise Nursery and Steve. Our path to the main flower gardens took us past some hydrangeas in several shades of pink. As Steve took our group towards a field of sunflowers I decided to lag behind in order to take some photos. As I passed one of the hot houses a single flower caught my attention, and I just had to wedge myself into an angular opening on the side of the structure to take a shot of this vividly orange-colored rose. I missed most of the talk about the different varieties of sunflowers, how seeds are developed into full plants and why some plants were so much taller than others. I did get the scoop however that the yellow sunflowers remaining in the garden were considered rejects because they did not meet specifications for cut flowers. Because of that fact Steve said it was okay for our group to cut down some of the sunflowers for personal use since they would be mulched and turned into compost soon. Once inside the hot houses I found myself doing the exact same thing again in lagging behind to take photos while missing all the facts about the different varieties of flowers grown. Because of that I ended up taking photos of a few flowers that I still have no clue of what they are. I signed up for this trip in order to learn more about organic produce so the fact that I was missing all these fun facts about flowers really didn't bother me. As our tour ended we were greeted by Chef Greg and Chef Sim of the Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association. A vegetarian lunch had been cooked up for us using fresh organic produce from the farms we visited and were to visit. Our lunch consisted of vegetarian tacos and a summer salad. A refreshingly thick strawberry lemonade was made up for us using strawberry puree made from fruit harvested at the Rodriguez Brothers Ranch, lemon juice, water and a simple syrup. The "meat" for the tacos consisted of a variety of roasted potatoes and beets seasoned with herbs and garlic from the Nunez Farm where we were scheduled to tour after lunch. A fire-roasted chile salsa made to be served with the tacos used flavorful chiles not grown from the region. This was simply exceptional in taste. The summer salad consisted of sweet white corn, zucchini, yellow squash, purple bell peppers, cucumbers, red onions and heirloom tomatoes all from the Nunez Farm. I loved the salad so much I got up and went for seconds. Nita Gizdich surprised us with still warm slices of her seasonal olallieberry pie to cap off a truly delicious lunch. It wasn't scheduled on our itinerary, but the pie was so good we asked our tour leader if we could do a side trip to the Gizdich Ranch in order to take some delicious pies home with us. Sarah N, our tour leader, agreed much to the delight of our group. As a thank you for spending time at their nursery the Sunrise Nursery gave everybody a freshly cut bouquet of flowers to take home with them.
