Straightaway, his MO is the antithesis of transactional; it's more zen, quietly high-minded, if you will. A community shaping healthy ecosystems come way before commerce. If you're lucky, you meet Mike. If time allows maybe you get to know him: the little boy he's a caretaker to. The Roadrunner Mike shares his breakfast with. The down-on-their-luck types he's given shelter to. Perhaps someone might've referenced his Saturday radio program. (Mike won't, given his humility.) Or, his Wednesday assistant happens to gift you half a dozen brown and green eggs from the hen who roams the yard. Then it begins to dawn what an honest-to-goodness treasure we have. That is if you get it. Apparently half the Yelp posters don't. Just like our very environs, Mike shouldn't bend to your needs. An issue cited by a couple reviewers--the scattershot hours Mike keeps; "the gate always closed"--is a nonstarter. That owes itself to a 60-something who's forever hustling; taking care of people. Hauling down to San Diego, or up to the Central Valley for increasingly harder-to-find healthy trees. Locals know: When immersing in a desert landscape, patience, being mindful, not to mention showing respect for surroundings allows the beauty to emerge. The payoff comes your way. Without doubt, the same can be said of Mike and Unique.

I wasn't sure what to expect since the reviews seem to be all over the place... but wow what a gem!…read moreIf you want orderly plants all in a row sparkling in plastic perfection like Home Depot, maybe you should go to Home Depot. This is for the folks who like a treasure hunt, maybe the folks who love thrift stores and vintage cars, and see beauty in diversity. Yep, it's a little bit messy, but staffing shortages abound everywhere and here is no exception. We used a gift certificate to pick out a few apple trees and a bunch of sages and other things, which all looked a bit rough around the edges because of the season. Once they got settled in at home they're all thriving, and one sage has even re-bloomed way ahead of schedule. I'm so glad we visited, it was such a treat to see this little oasis!

Please do not support this business…read more I understand some people consider this the only convenient place in town to buy hay, but there are other places to source it. I previously purchased dog and cat food here for our rescue work, but I stopped because of serious concerns about the animals' care. I have personally visited the property and seen the conditions the cats were living in. What I saw was horrible. Our rescue offered to help spay and neuter the cats, including covering surgery and vaccinations, but the owner refused. She continues seeking free cats through Facebook groups to use for rodent control. A friend recently paid to get two kittens out of there. My friend reported that they were confined to a tiny, filthy cage with no food or water when picked up. The kittens were dirty and smelled badly. Thankfully, they were rescued. We also rescued an injured kitten from this property and obtained the medical care he needed. The attached photos show that kitten. The owner has denied that he was hers, but we rescued him from her property. She claims people steal her cats when they go missing. I have personally seen cats run over on Highway 247 directly in front of her store. Without safe shelter, cats are also exposed to predators and dangerous conditions while trying to find protection. From what I observed, she does not provide adequate shelter for them. Locals have reported concerns about the care of animals on her property, including horses and goats. Animal control has visited the property. Others have reported finding cats crushed in hay stacks after seeking shelter between the bales. I did not personally witness those incidents, but the reports are deeply concerning. In my opinion, what I witnessed amounts to animal neglect, and it is cruel. Using cats for rodent control does not excuse failing to meet their basic needs. Please do not support this business or provide cats or kittens to this owner. There are other sources for hay and animal supplies, and I will be spending my money elsewhere. If you visit this place, adopt a cat, the owner cares about money and will sell cats so save a life and take cats from this disgusting place I do expect a response from her because she is defensive and cares about her damaged reputation.

This place is a cactus heaven…read more So many varieties and species of succulents, cacti, desert flowers, and fruit trees. Great place to stop on your way to Joshua Tree or the Yucca Valley. It's a very large nursery, so it might take a while to check out while the staff are tending to plants on the other side of the property. In addition to being a hardware and garden store- they apparently raise chickens too. So, if you need a chicken... there you go.
