Thank goodness there's a high quality nursery specializing in California natives in Altadena now.
I've been on the hunt for native milkweed and I was surprised that this new nursery carried a ton of regular and organic narrow leaf milkweed as well as plenty of seed packets. It's extremely hard to find native milkweed during prime spring planting season.
For those who need fertilizer, they have Down to Earth fertilizer sold by the box or bulk by-the-pound (best deal). The selection of edible plants is pretty decent.
For the kiddos, there's a small petting chicken and bunny coop tucked away on the north side of the building. Who says that nurseries can't be fun for the whole family?
The staff were able to find the right plants for my irrigation, bloom timing, and shade conditions. Extra bonus, they even had Theodore Payne Nursery Tour tickets for sale.
What a wonderful nursery, with drought tolerant plants, beautiful and healthy, perfect for our neighborhood. They also sell herbs and vegetables. They have converted an old gas station, which was abandoned for years and was an eyesore, into a thriving, healthy place! They have an amazing display of beautiful Japanese tools and gloves. Excellent quality. They have a chicken coop with gorgeous silky chickens too! Their staff/owners are genuinely kind, helpful and willing to figure your gardening needs with you. What an amazing addition to Altadena!
