Best little hidden gem of a nursery. Great selection of plants. Friendly staff helps with all questions and needs. Parking. Nice walkable layout.
Excellent selection and service!
Cool cacti selection and good prices
Best prices compared to big box stores like Home Depot and Walmart. Found some interesting plants I hadn’t seen before, and at great prices. Excited to go again

Beautiful nursery, very friendly and helpful. I came looking for milkweed and luckily they had some left!
I found many patio plants and plants for my pots! It was a Mother's day gift 🎁 yea.
Small, sassy, simple but friendly staff. Apart of the east county story for generations.
Fantastic assortment of trees, plants, flowers, succulents and so on. Super friendly and helpful staff.
