Essentials for
Your Garden
Cactus Plants
& Succulents
It has been amazing to watch the succulent revolution take off. Every day it seems like we see a new variety on our availability lists, and they keep getting more unique. From cool lime green sedums to the dark chocolate and black rosettes of the Echeverria Black Prince, and the funky green leaves covered in white dots of the Aloe, ‘Twilight Zone’, they just get more fun. Of course, their best quality is that they are drought resistant plants, needing very little water and can be used indoors or out. They can easily be combined with other styles of plants and grasses or you can start your own succulent section in your garden.
Indoor and
Outdoor Plants
Sourcing only the healthiest plants from the most reputable nurseries in California and Oregon, we’ve been working with many of our growers for over 70 years.

Our Test Garden
About 15 years ago, when all the new heirloom varieties of tomatoes first started becoming very popular, we created our own 1500 sq. ft. vegetable garden to personally test all of the different new varieties of veggies, so we can give you our own view on what truly does the best in our area.
We also have fruit trees, artichokes, strawberries and blueberries so we can help you with any problems and share our experience with the crop production for that year. We try different soils and fertilizers as well to figure out the best combination for a great garden. Stop by in late summer and we usually have our own tomatoes to share.
Explore Outdoors
For the pint-sized master gardener in the family, we stock a complete line of kids’ garden tools, toys, books and so much more to make gardening fun and educational for the whole family. We believe it is important to introduce kids to the wonders of gardening and how to use tools carefully and properly at a young age. A child's love for gardening can start with just digging in the dirt, but here are some other ideas to encourage children to explore and discover the great outdoors this summer:
-
Plant easy-to-grow flowers together. Sunflowers are fun because they are large, brightly colored and produce a healthy snack to harvest.
-
Plant herbs and plants with fun smells, textures, and blossoms
-
Cosmos, snapdragons, zinnias, coleus and salvia are easy to grow, and then gather for table decorations.
-
Plant night-blooming plants and explore the garden by moonlight or flashlight.
