    Absolutely Beautiful!! My family and I got lost in the nursery for a couple of hours...such a great way to experience a Nursery. Mike was super friendly and offered to send out a search party for my family...since I lost them My mom ended up purchasing a plant that she hasn't seen since she lived in Hawai'i, what a great place and find.

    This place will take your breath away! I visited today with a friend who has been many times before. Acres and acres of incredible rhododendrons, azaleas, wisteria, iris and much much more. Picnic tables, benches, walkways and pathways to enjoy the natural beauty. The gardener who helped us has been working there for 30 years and knows everything about the plants; he was so helpful in selecting rhododendrons and mulch for my home. Such a treat!!!! I only wish I had taken more photos!

    Wonderful nursery and garden tucked away outside of Sebastopol. The rhododendrons and azaleas are in full glory right now and so many other beautiful plants, all in a peaceful natural setting.

    This should be on your short list of things to do in and around Sebastopol! A truly hidden gem, this is a place to wander. There are varieties of rhododendrons that probably exist nowhere else, due to the amazing history of the original and second owner. And nearly every one of the thousands of Rhodies, Azaleas and more is for sale! You can walk through nearly seven acres of peaceful, beautiful beauty. The current owner, Michael, is passionate about preserving this lovely spot. Please visit and enjoy, and help keep this very unique place of tranquility and beauty.

    Stunning! Absolutely stunning! This is hands down the most beautiful nursery I've ever seen. Seriously, they could charge admission. Absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous.

    You would never know that this much beauty is all in one place.

    Amazing! Just amazing. This place is a diamond in the rough. It's so well hidden that I just want to spread the word that it exists! It's in Sebastopol off hwy 116. You then turn onto McFarland and tucked away on a neighborhood street (Azalea Lane) is this hidden gem. It blends in with the neighborhood.... until you walk into an enchanted forest. There are bridges that lead to secret places amongst the most exquisite flowers and beautiful, rare, trees. There are hidden benches, fountains and eating areas tucked away in private secluded nooks. Just when you think that you have seen everything that there is to see, you will run into a pond surrounded by blooming trees and flowers. The colors are amazing. I had no idea how large this nursery really is. I took a 5 and a 7 year old with me and they fell in love. We walked every inch of the property. I spoke with the owner (Mike) about his nursery for a very long time. He then introduced us to some rare trees and plants. He definitely kept the kids entertained. I wasn't even looking to buy anything, I just wanted check out this rarity. I will however bring my wallet next time. The people that worked there encouraged us to look and see everything. They didn't mind that we weren't "shopping" and that is what I appreciated the most. I encourage everyone, big and small to walk through this mystical place. It's something that you will never imagine.

    Excellent local garden center. I do native plant landscaping as a side business and have a degree…read morein plant and soil science, so I like to think I know what makes a good garden center. This particular location has a terrific selection of most types of plants. Lots of edible stuff like veggie starts and fruiting bushes and trees. The majority of the available plants are mix of Mediterranean and CA native landscaping plants with a handful of the standard shrubs/trees you'll find at every nursery in the U.S. like crepe myrtles and ornamental conifers. Also tons of herbaceous flowering perennials ranging from 4" pots up to 5 gallons. Also, a great house plant selection! I also believe this spot deserves some serious credit for their selection of native plants. One of the only spots in California you can readily purchase 4" starts of native annuals as well as cryptic and rare perennials. Just a couple days ago, I saw they were selling tomcat clover! That is just too cool. I also just bought a ground cover cultivar o CA buckwheat I've never even heard of. They clearly have someone in their procurement department who knows a good deal about natives. In terms of dry goods, they have a wide variety of pottery as well as all your standard garden center goods such as fertilizers, pest control, irrigation equipment, and general gardening supplies. What really tickles me is their bulk seeds. They have a full hallway with containers on either side with scoopers where you can buy any Lb amount of these seeds. They have tons of landscaping and pasture grass seed as well as some neat cover crop and cover crop mixes. My only complaint about this section is that not all labels have the scientific names. Some do, which is great since you know exactly the species that is being sold. However, one of the erosion control mix listed an annual "California festuca" and a perennial "California festuca". Unsure what species are being sold or if they are actually CA natives. Ultimately not a big deal and I'm sure the staff would be happy to get me the details. BUT if I made the labels...I may include the scientific name ;) All in all, this store and its other locations are a shining light in a dim world of big box stores selling garbage. You truly can find whatever you need for your projects here. I aways stop in when I'm in the area and buy a handful of things. I'll be a customer for as long as they are around!

We always get flowers, fruit trees, gifts, and Happy Frog dirt here. During this visit we noticed it was bare root season. I remember enjoying beautiful and sweet mulberries from Brentwood a couple years ago and they were selling different varieties so we scooped one up and hope it thrives happily here. Employees are always friendly and helpful whether you come in person or call with questions. Inside they have a nice assortment of seeds, houseplants, fertilizers, books and all sorts of gardening supplies. As we were checking out, I noticed they have barrels of all kinds of potatoes! Always such a well-maintained nursery with a robust inventory of products.

    If you've ever been disappointed with the scent of a bouquet of roses fresh from the florist, it's…read moreprobably because most modern roses have been bred exclusively for scent and stem length, and the real rose smell has been forgotten by the wayside. I didn't know how good roses can smell (truly, truly intoxicating) until I discovered Vintage Gardens. They are part of a group of passionate rose growers who are reviving old root stocks and propagating those endangered varieties that no one knows about. Packed with petals and drenched in perfume, these are roses as they're meant to be. If you garden at all, it's worth ordering some of their bare root roses to plant in your garden, and you might think about a trip to Sebastopol to check out their gardens (see their website for their private garden location).

Not only do these roses have beautiful flowers and divine old rose fragrance, but many of them are drought tolerant as well. Old garden roses are easy to grow and easy to maintain. They also add a lot of value as shrubs. If you have only seen and struggle with modern Hybrid Teas, you will be in for a treat by growing old garden roses. I highly recommend that anyone interested in having a garden in our current times of drought should look into old garden roses. They are the most rewarding plants and so easy to grow.

    I had such a great experience at Pond & Garden this weekend! We are repeat customers who just love…read morethe place (we are plant nerds). We live a couple hours away, but come by when we visit family in the area. We stopped in to check out the inventory and so much had changed! The lot seems to have expanded, and the inventory definitely has. A large inventory of beautiful trees, statement pieces for the garden with rare form, variegation, or hard to find cultivars. For example, a golden lace cypress that was simply stunning caught my eye. Boughs of golden lacy leaves with a gorgeous form. Many more very interesting trees, like a gold form Mugo pine, rare ginkgos, unique maples, bonsai stock trees, native oaks, elms. If you are planning a garden design and want a unique tree this is definitely your place. Great for Japanese style and any other garden design. Many dwarf species available. In addition, they have a wide assortment of pond plants, koi fish, pond equipment, pond kits, and the like. They also have a great assortment of succulents and bonsais. They even sell minerals and cute hand made paver stones that look like reds wood trunk slices. Scott, the owner, was a delight and gave me the honor of seeing his private collection (an expansive selection!) of Dyckia and bromeliads and rare euphorbia and other succulents. I could have spent hours in there just taking in all the beauty of the plants. I felt like I found a kindred plant loving spirit in Scott. He's a really nice guy and treated us really well. The best part was the prices were really great. I picked out numerous plants expecting really marked up prices as is typical for nurseries (it IS a business after all). However, I was pleasantly surprised by the fair pricing. I can't wait to come back to pet the dogs, check out the pigeons (they have homing pigeons in a big aviary out back), and nerd out on bonsais and succulents again. If you are curious I highly recommend stopping by.

I parked in front on the 116 side. When I walked in the door the first thing I noticed was all the cute knickknacks and gifts. There were different stones and crystals home decor and of course plants. Then I walked out to more plants, trees, ponds.. This place is huge! In the far back is ponds with aquarium plants. They didn't have much on the Friday I went but they get shipments on Tuesday so I will be back! All the workers were very friendly and seemed knowledgeable. Prices were very fair. I ended up coming home with a couple flowering plants for my front porch too. I will be back for plants and also some stones for gifts. There is so much going on here it would be fun to just walk around even if you don't need anything.
