Spacious, lowkey so you have space to shop, and friendly and local. There are doves as well

Visited this nursery because I live nearby and it had excellent reviews. Unfortunately it was pretty poorly stocked and lots of the plants that were available seemed pretty rough. Several citrus trees that have very obvious nutrient issues, and dying/dead herbs. It’s winter right now so maybe it’s just a seasonality thing, especially since there’s no indoor/greenhouse area here. But, I would have expected more options for folks looking to start plants indoors and even the soil/container options were pretty limited. Will stop by again when it’s spring to see if there’s more shopping options. The actual space is quite nice, with gardens that you can go through next to the retail space. I’m not sure if they offer community gardens or anything like that, but the overall vibe for me at least was definitely more “community gardens with plants for sale” than it was “nursery”.

Bonnie is awesome. She has answered so many of my newbie questions about growing tomatoes and helped me get the right stuff! This place seems like a great nonprofit, and the space is so peaceful.

This is a great place that I often go to for plant gifts. I would rate it 5 stars except that sometimes they are closed for lunch when I go which does not show up in Google hours so I’ve had to wait for them to get back from lunch.
