Great nursery in the Valley of the Moon. It is on the Sonoma highway, but tucked away from the…read moreroad. They do not have a big fancy blinged out sign. It is a bit more discreet, we missed it on the first drive by. I do appreciate nurseries, so we made an u turn back. If this helps it is right next to Kenwood spa & resort. They do have a impressive signage with a brick wall gated entry. The fella working that day in the nursery was very knowledgeable. Plus he had a laid back easy going demeanor. The plants are laid out under some oak trees (maybe valley oaks). They have over 200 varieties of Japanese maples, 40 + varieties of dogwoods, and others. All the plants were in excellent condition, they were well cared of. We walked around...enjoying the beautiful varieties and meandering pathways mixed in with a few art sculptures. I eyed a $15 yucca plant. Great deal. But had no room in the car to transport it. Darn. I definitely will check them out again when I am in the area. I will make room for that yucca plant. :) BTW they conduct gardening workshops and seminars. Most are free. Check out their website.

Inside, they also featured books, jewelry, candles and essential oils (and much more.) Nice shop to browse. I didn't look at any prices, so can't speak for that. Very cool shop with nice staff greeting you and seeing what you're looking for. In my case, just enjoying the displays. Really nice layout and selections. Definitely stop in if you're in town!

Basing a low rating on a snippet of conversation you disagreed with seems a bit off-base and more than a little judgemental, no? Especially when you noted the warm greeting and polite exit. Thrift stores are about community and reuse, not ideological purity tests. The Ark is clean, welcoming, and packed with affordable goodies--who cares if the chit-chat behind the counter doesn't match your specific worldview? If we started judging businesses solely on overheard opinions, we'd all be shopping in echo chambers. Props to the polite team; they've earned my repeat business for the deals, not the discourse.

This is a very organized thrift store, and I seem to always find something that I need. Don't forget to check downstairs for all the furniture! Prices are pretty good, although I don't know of any sale days, I could go home with an outfit for less than $30, and sometimes the clothes are actually new with tags.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vintage Owl. Laurie and her team completely transformed…read moremy dull, dated early-90s bedroom furniture set into something that feels timeless, elevated, and absolutely beautiful. What was once heavy, yellowish, stained, scratched and tired is now a dreamy creamy light beige with the most gorgeous detailing. They thoughtfully retained and carefully cleaned the original hardware, which adds so much character and charm. The delicate veneer wood tops on the nightstands were expertly restained and now look rich and intentional rather than worn. Beyond the cosmetic transformation, their craftsmanship and service truly impressed me. They repaired broken dresser drawer tracks so everything functions smoothly again, and they even fixed an old light inside one of the drawers that hasn't worked in years. The entire set feels brand new while still honoring its original character. It's rare to find someone who combines artistry, attention to detail, and true restoration skill the way they do. If you're considering refinishing furniture instead of replacing it, this is your sign, and you will be absolutely thrilled with the result.

My cabinets were old and yellowed and now the kitchen is so much better. Vintage Owl did such a great job I'm asking them back to replace a light and other pairing. To begin my project I got several quotes and felt the personal touch Vintage Owl provides encourages trust. The price was reasonable and I'm very happy.
