Definitely better prices than the nurseries in Carmel Valley. This location is fairly small, so it…read moremay not have everything you are looking for, but it's worth giving them a call or stopping by to check. Note that they also grow the plants in their own nursery so it's not a matter of checking San Marcos growers or Monrovia to see if they can special order for you. Great for bulk delivery of soil, mulch, etc., and all the soil and compost I've gotten from them (probably 20+ cubic yards now) has been nice and clean, no weed seeds. Service can be a little hit or miss - most times it's great, but a couple of times I've had a guy at the desk who gave such minimal answers to my stock questions that I ended up coming back another time to ask someone else.

Service? Fabulous! I was looking around inside the store at 3 different types of orchid food. I was…read moreconfused about the difference. Before I could turn around and look for help, I heard a voice behind me asking if I needed help! I asked my question, and then gave Jasmine my shopping list. She proceeded to load up a cart for me. She demonstrated good knowledge. Jasmine loaded up all of my purchases into my car cheerfully, carefully and efficiently. Selection? It was the week before Christmas. At that time of year, nurseries are reduced in inventory and are monochromatic in green. They didn't have any buddleia or lavatera, but that's to be expected! I bought 6 5-gallon purple Lantana at $28.99 each. They were healthy and robust plants. I'll be able to split each plant, and have double the effect! Value? Folks, this ain't Lowe's or Home Depot (or as I like to say The Despot). You are not going to get low, low prices. OTOH, you are going to get super healthy, quality plants. I was very pleased with my lantana purchase. I enjoyed my shopping experience. The nursery is clean and beautiful. I'll be back!

Whenever I'm in Pacific Grove, Variety is one of those shops I can't resist checking out. Back when…read moreI lived in Monterey, I'd pop in pretty regularly just to see what new things they had on display. The shop has a great mix of items--seasonal décor, gifts, and fun little treasures--though the real charm is that it pulls together products from multiple local vendors, so there's always something different to discover. The store is organized in a way that makes browsing easy: toys, clothing, and accessories tend to be toward the back, while the front features home décor, soaps, and unique trinkets. The owner is always warm and welcoming, happy to chat or answer questions, and it's clear how much she cares about supporting the Pacific Grove community. Over time, I've picked up thoughtful gifts for my family--soaps and home decorations for my grandmother, beanie babies and old-school VHS tapes for my siblings, and even hats and wall art for my mom and aunt. Prices on items are understandable especially knowing that the prices vary depending on what vendor owns that item. It's the kind of place where you never know what gem you'll walk out with. I'll definitely make it a stop every time I'm back in town!

The lady who answered at the florist was so helpful. I let her know about our upcoming anniversary trip, and I was interested in something to spruce up our room a bit. I gave some other details and she was super helpful, offering lots of suggestions. She even stayed on the phone with me while I looked on their website to see the different items she was talking about. After I decided on what I wanted, I gave her our hotel info, paid over the phone, and that was that. A couple weeks later, we arrived to our hotel room with a beautiful card, balloon and flower arrangement. It was the perfect start to our special anniversary weekend. Thanks, Flor De Monterey!
