    Oodles of milkweed!
    Mariah B.

    This has hands down become my favorite nursery for natives. I discovered Watershed a few years ago when I first started raising monarch butterflies. I had run out of milkweed in my garden, and could not find a nursery that sold it without pesticide! I started to panic, but then I came across Watershed Nursery. They had all the milkweed that I needed for my caterpillar babies, and even helped to educate me on taking better care of the plants. Watershed has now become my "milkweed plug" and helped to introduce me to other native plants to put in our garden. Every one of the workers has been wonderful, but I'd like to give a shout-out to Aaron as he has been extremely helpful. Looking forward to returning soon!

    What a fantastic selection of healthy native plants, well-organized by sun & water needs, and with detailed info cards. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The rows are well spaced with lots of room to walk and ponder your purchases. It's just a pleasure to walk around this nursery. Prices range from about $2-$10 for most plants. It's conveniently located close to the freeway and parking is plentiful with a small cramped lot adjacent to it but lots of spaces nearby. The problem here isn't what to get... it's what not to get. It's hard to walk away without a dozen new native plants!

    Wonderful place for California natives. I love how everything is divided by environment, versus plant type. I've had great success with plants here - including milkweed. The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Great nursery.

    I really enjoyed walking around this native plant nursery on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I had driven past Annie's Annuals and saw a HUGE line to get in, so I decided to come here instead. It felt like I had the whole place to myself! Really dig the vibe - Love the pictures and signs that go with each native plant, and how they organize it - Prices are clearly marked, unlike Oaktown Natives (still don't know how they price their plants) - A couple of the plants are too young to transplant, which are marked. Overall a lot of the plants skew young/small because more people have been buying natives. That means you'll have to wait for them to grow a bit, but thats okay because those tend to be stronger plants! - Some plants are on sale for really cheap - $1-2! I got about 5 native plants for less than $20 total. They take card here. The grounds of the place are absolutely beautiful. You can smell the ocean breeze and they surround the area with natives they plant themselves. It's a short drive from the Miller/Knox regional shoreline.

    Cosman's Urban Farming has been taking care of my backyard since December. I've been very happy…read morewith the level of service and professionalism by they provide. Michael Cosman's and his crew are reliable and punctual. If they're running late, he'll text me. If he cant make a day, he'll let me know in advance and we'll reschedule immediately. He and his crew don't just mow my yard and leave, they check that the irrigation works, the check the health of my plants, and they proactively make recommendations on things to improve the yard. Communication is very important to me and I feel comfortable asking Michael questions and getting his feedback. My last gardener was always late, missed appointments, and couldn't understand the questions I asked. He was cheaper than Michael, but what I saved in costs I paid for with hassle and uncertainty. It's true that you get what you pay for and I'm very pleased with my choice to hire Cosman's Urban Farming.

    Cosman's and his team have been a joy to work with! He's been taking care of my garden for about 6…read moremonths. He's always communicative and on-time. His prices are fair and he quality of work is excellent! I'm excited to work on larger projects with his and his team in the near future.
