Meandering paths lead you through cottage gardens, shade gardens, and quiet Zen corners. It's a whimsical multi-acre experience with display gardens, gift shops, animals, a farmstand, and the largest year-round Christmas store in SLO County. Beyond plants, you'll find antiques, books, home goods, and garden art. It's one of my favorite places to pick up unique gifts for family and friends, and somehow I always leave with something for my own garden collection. There's also a seasonal farmstand offering fresh produce and local eggs from nearby ranches. It's peaceful, magical, and endlessly inspiring, always giving me new ideas for my own backyard. PS - it's free and open daily.

It…read morenever fails to disappoint me and at this time of year, it's particularly magical when they open up the tent behind the gift shop and fill it with all kinds of Christmas treasures. I particularly like the vintage Christmas decor in the back room with notable items from Europe, as well as the United States. Many of them have a wonderful handmade look, and also recall Christmas from years gone by. They still have their tea, coffee and snack bar open so you can sip a hot drink and walk around and enjoy the plants while you plan your Christmas decorations

The gardening merchandise like faux flowers, rhinestone bug and flower jewelry, and candles have just gotten more exquisite with passing time. There's really something for anyone that loves to garden here. I liked all the Bee information. On the drive up we, noticed a lot more bee boxes than we used to have in San Luis Obispo. There are still plants and garden statuary on the back patio. A walk through this store lets you experience an environment that will transport you to a peaceful and timeless place, just like any beautiful garden! This is the perfect place for hostess gifts or Christmas gifts to bring Joy to anyone who likes to garden.

We wandered into Grow because I created a large succulent garden during the pandemic by taking daily rides to all the succulent vendors in SLO. My succulent garden has grown, as has my love of the kooky twisty Dr. Seuss-like plants. I am also happy that they thrive without water! We loved the succulents, displayed in front of and behind the store. There were some new ones, and many large ones that would be a fun addition to any collection. Surprisingly, what really caught my attention was the large collection of minerals in the main indoor room. I collected them as a nerdy kid, and now my grandson loves them from reading the Harry Potter books!

For me, customer service can make or break an experience. Went in, there were 2 gals behind the…read morecounter chatting with each other. They paused their involved conversation for a split second so that one could glance up to give a deadpan unfriendly, non-welcoming, underwhelming acknowledgment (I intentionally didn't say "greeting"). Huh, okay, maybe I misread that, I thought. I shopped around while they continued to ignore me and the other shoppers in the store. Me, willing to think it was a fluke, I say something friendly to them about liking the shop and they both stared at me blankly and said nothing (What?!? Who does that??). It was beyond strange- it was rude. I told my daughter to put back the items she picked out and let's go. As we left, my daughter said "bye, thank you" and they ignored her. The whole thing was offensive to me and I'm posting so the owner is aware, and if *that* was the owner of the shop, she clearly won't care anyway and can get back to making my voodoo doll. Went to the next shop where we were greeted from across the store with "hi, welcome in!" And then the store after that with "good afternoon!" And genuine smiles. Creating a positive, welcoming and friendly customer experience goes a long way. The 1-star rating is for the experience. The shop itself has interesting and unique finds and I like the space.

There are sections that have herbs, teas, candles, books, and anything your little witch heart desires. Prices are great and the items they have are different and worth the amount. The back room has a huge selection of different teas that can aid in herbal remedies. There were a few that caught my eye and I still beat myself over not buying it. There is cute garden out back which is influences by Alice and Wonderland. Enjoyed walking around and finding fairies and other cool decor that fully immersed you into this experience. Pretty cool store to see and plus the staff is very friendly and welcoming. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely have to make a stop to buy a couple of items that I loved.

Cambria Inspirations had the easiest web site for me to view arrangements, so I went with them. One phone call was all it took, and after placing my order, the receipt was immediately texted to my phone. The price was reasonable and only $5 to deliver to our hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, the flowers were placed in our room and absolutely beautiful. Very pleased with the arrangement and how super easy it was to have them delivered. Thank you Cambria Inspirations!

Walked in to the bright and airy shop and was immediately greeted with a big smile. The shop is small, but thoughtfully laid out. Not only are there different foods to try from local shops around the Central Coast, there are crafts and gift items as well. I picked up a block of local Garlic Jack cheese to add to a charcuterie board I'm making for a Christmas party. There were so many different things to check out that I cannot wait to go back next time I am in town to see what other local treats I can experience!

The shop is stocked with goods made locally in SLO County. You can tell the store is thoughtfully thought out- from the display of the goods to the available items. There's things for everyone- the foodie, the plant lovers, the souvenir searchers, the four legged (doggy & kitty) lovers, the home and yard decorators, the clothes lovers, etc. The store isn't always open, but go into the pizza restaurant next door and ask when it'll be open. It's totally worth making that effort. The owner is super sweet and so nice too! I purchased a metal Cambria sign and we just mounted it on driftwood from Moonstone Beach. We absolutely love it !!!
