What a wondrous place, and what a joy to wander through winding paths where art peeks from behind the trees. A magical experience with the added benefit of an amazing selection of plants to purchase.

We really enjoyed our visit at Sierra Azul Nursery.They had a variety of plants and pots for a reasonable price. We were also surprised to find art sculptures on display throughout their gardens to support local artists.

Wow! This place is amazing. There is just about everything you can imagine available for your garden or indoor plants. They're labeled by native plants to more exotic types. It reminds me of the San Francisco Botanical Gardens with plants and trees from around the world. There are local sculptures with sitting areas and restrooms. Worth more than 1 visit.

This Nursery and Garden are absolutely gorgeous. It has an organic layout in the plant stock section and the adjacent Garden is lovely, secluded and filled with large pieces of outdoor art and some stunning plant life that is obviously very well cared for and maintained. The prices on the plants are wonderfully reasonable and the plants are healthy and full. I will be bringing my business here again and recommending them to anyone looking to fill their garden!
