Pros:
- plants are pretty healthy and have well developed roots
- good selection including rare species
- slightly lower prices than the 3 neighboring nurseries
- staff know native plants about the same as the staff at the other nurseries
Cons:
- only open 930-4 on Fridays, so I have to take off work to go
- picking up orders needs to be negotiated over the phone
- limited parking (like 2 spots and then good luck with the street parking)
- interactions with the staff were kind of weird
- some of the prices (eg for pots and decoration) are made up on the spot

Nice selection of native plants, in good shape. It's not a very service oriented place—they're only open a few hours on Fridays, not much signage, it's a cash business, and their inventory online isn't really up to date. However, this is reflected in their low prices, which made it worth the hassle to me. Also they had healthy plants with new growth on them which is what matters most to me. It has the vibe of a place that sells to the trade or experienced gardeners. I thought it was a good find, but kind of like a hidden/rough gem.
This place is awesome! They have a great selection of healthy plants and a wide variety of manzanitas. The staff are really nice and the customers were really helpful with advice too. You can tell people who come here are passionate about native plants. They take Zelle in addition to cash and check.
