    Succulent's!!!:)

    Oh my GOSH I'm visiting from San Diego and stumbled into this place and it's AMAZING. It's such a nice calming environment with such pretty succulents. The staff is friendly and fun. 10/10 come by if you can!

    Very helpful staff. The outside had a very nice atmosphere, and it's peaceful. Lots of healthy plants to choose from.

    What a great little nursery. It's not very big, but we really enjoyed walking around and seeing all the beautiful plants.

I had a reservation at the Farmhouse restaurant, but arrived early and decided to explore a shop I noticed near the side entrance. The moment I stepped inside, it felt like being transported somewhere magical. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit. The boutique shops lean toward the high end, offering everything from home décor and art to unique jewelry. As you wander through, you're surrounded by lush greenery--the central garden and nursery are filled with a stunning variety of outdoor plants. Along one side, you'll find thoughtfully arranged merchandise, from seeds to greeting cards and gift packaging, with a charming pottery section tucked at the very end. Upstairs, there's a lovely deck featuring patio furniture and hanging plants, perfect for inspiration. The pathway leading to the restaurant is especially memorable, with a series of archways that add to the enchanting, almost storybook-like feel. It's also a peaceful haven for wildlife--I spotted sparrows, hummingbirds, and bumblebees throughout the space, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Parking is easy, with plenty of free spaces available. A beautiful spot to stroll, shop, and dine--all in one place.

I like coming here for my plants because they have a great store return/exchange policy. I also visit for any plant health related questions. I recently bought some lady bugs for my garden and they are thriving! My favorite part of coming here is for the succulents. The vairetals they have to offer on-site aren't the rarest but they are definitely the healthiest/happiest. Any and all of their Echevaria varietals grow really well. I bought English Lavender here about a year ago. It's doing very well. I bought a Fuschia here about few weeks ago and I left it in the scorching sun for too long. It's wilted pretty heavily but I got it into some nice morning sun. It's much happier. I'm thankful I had someone here I could talk to and figure out what I did wrong. The Newport Beach location is gorgeous! Just as helpful.

Needless to say I am turned off by broken promises made when purchasing shrubs and will look elsewhere for my trees/ plants. What a disappointment. *Update- just spare yourself the trouble and shop at the Newport Beach store down the way! Jennifer the manager there was more than accommodating and helpful! Ended up getting what I needed and will just go here for my plant/tree needs.
