The employee who helped me was very knowledgeable and showed me several plants that could survive the extreme heat where I live. He also gave me helpful advice on caring for some plants I've been struggling with. I really appreciated his patience and willingness to help.

I don't know the man's name. This guy answered the phone both times I called. The first time he…read moresaid something that made me feel stupid. That's how sarcasm usually makes a person feel. The second time happened today. I called to check if they had a plant I was looking for. I asked him how much it cost and he sounded annoyed. I asked if there was a problem and he grudgingly said no, we're really short on employees. He was indicating that he didn't want to go look at how much it cost. I asked him if he wanted my phone number so he could call me back. He then sounded annoyed again. I just hung up. I'm sure the business itself is okay, but this dude....

I had Cheryl do all of the bouquets for my wedding and they turned out absolutely gorgeous! She…read morecaptured my want for organic-looking, more open bouquets perfectly and they looked fantastic with the rest of my floral and all of our dresses!! On top of that Cheryl was just great to work with, she listened to what I wanted and delivered everything in a way that made our lives so easy when handling the floral! Also on a unnecessary note, you don't always think to want bouquets to last very long since you only really need them for a day or two but we kept all of the bouquets after for fun and they lasted over a week and some of the flowers went for over two weeks!! Would definitely recommend!!

My first stop is to…read moreCentral Coast Wilds because they are committed to California native plants, the tools I use most in my design and installation services. I often choose drought tolerant choices from Central Coast Wilds, so that I do not even have to install irrigation systems, saving the client money and hassle. If they don't have what I need, or there is a big special order, they custom grow the species I need. Central Coast also offers sod choices with drought tolerance and resistance, so I can really do one-stop plant shopping for my design clients. I know where the plants come from. CCW services designers like me and clients, but helps to preserve the natural heritage of the central coast's varied and spectacular biota.

I had heard about this little gem, known as the last bookstore in Carmel, but hadn't had the time to stop by until this trip. The selection of books was decent, and the service was good.

The Secret Garden was especially relaxing and beautiful. I really enjoyed walking through it, taking my time, and simply taking it all in. Definitely a lovely little spot to visit while in Carmel!
