absolutely LOVE this space. As someone who is a newer plant parent, Patricia has made this experience less overwhelming for me. Not only is the staff very friendly and patient, the overall vibe itself is amazing as it highlights local artists, makers and very queer affirming. They also support lots of local events. Coming to Fiddle & Fern is truly a wonderful experience! read more

The owner is the sweetest woman. She is so helpful and stocks the store with wonderful, fun plants and vases and much more. I love Air plants and Fiddle and Fern turned me on to them. They have beautiful, colorful vases and other unique things. Who knew that I needed these things in my life‍ I can't help myself, when I'm there. The plants and colorful vases pop out at me and find their way on to my walls and shelves A wonderful addition to add decor and color, for such a reasonable price. read more

I never leave this place empty handed! Each plant I've purchased and cared for months on end are all such great quality. The staff is consistently friendly and informative each visit of mine. I'm so happy I came across this establishment! read more

Love the energy, space and service! Fantastic. While we didn't purchase anything this is the only place on the Main Street that actually acknowledged my sister and I and they were ever so kind and welcoming. We got to meet their pup too! Great selection of pants to take home and give you plenty of oxygen. Great prices as well! While we didn't catch the adjoining stores name, you will definitely enjoy all they have to offer. Wonderful selection of products, but an even better customer service provided! Will be back and HIGHLY recommend!! read more

Fiddle & Fern is so special. Even if plants aren't really your thing, there's always something fun to look at or take home. Patricia is so kind and easy to talk to. She is very knowledgable about all types of plants . She welcomed my plant and I with open arms to give advice on how to bring it back to life. It's a favorite for Ventura locals. If you're visiting, it's definitely worth stopping by. read more

Love love LOVE this precious little plant shop. Located in the back of Plum Gifts (which is also adorable). The owner, Patricia, is so sweet. Really helped with my plant selection. I came back one day for a visit and met Sue, had a lovely conversation with her as well. I'm a new plant mom so this was definitely an experience for me, and I absolutely LOVED IT. It's like build-a-bear for adults. Something so special about choosing all the details from the plant, to the vase, to fun little accessories. And then you get to take it with you and hopefully not murder it in a week. So far so good though! I could spend hours in there though, for real. You can pick your plant, plus your vase and any fun accessories. They have a huge selection for such a small store. It's beautiful and airy inside. You genuinely feel like you can breath better. I'll be back :) slowly but surely filling my office with a plethora of new adopted plant babies. read more

This is such a beautiful little shop, I love to come in for a wander when I need some home inspiration. The plants are not cheap but they are so very healthy, and there are some unusual finds that you won't see in a big box store. The stickers are adorable too! read more

Life is short. Just buy the plants! Such a cute plant and home decor shop, located in the back of Plum. Love that they offer a diverse plant collection, local creations and art. I have purchased a few plants and a couple of pots, and I am happy to say all are alive! My visit today, I was looking for a bargain, and I found it! I bought a small houseplant ($4.50) and a 40% off pot. A great find! The staff are always helpful. Fiddle & Fern makes me want to buy everything. Accessible price points and one-of-a-kind finds make Fiddle & Fern a special store. Always on my list of stores to visit when in Ventura! read more

Such a magical little shop with the cutest little shop dog (Ellie). Beautiful house plants along with a large variety of beautiful pots and planters. Just recently picked up these two beauties! I already owned the pink plant the zz stand is in but she happened to have the exact same one in her shop so I was able to see how it would look! My fiddle leaf fig is also still looking amazing months later and has new growth! read more

Great selection!! Lots of plants and decor and they always change up their decor. Very cute stuff. Everyone that works there is very sweet and helpful. I would give it more stars but I think their plants are very overpriced, I usually go to nursery's and can get the same plane but much bigger and for way cheaper. read more

This place is the definition of heaven on earth for any plant loving crazy like me! Fiddle & Fern always has such rare & affordable finds! I love the owners intentionality with each client as well as how she educates each client on which plant they have purchased! She also represents a lot of local art which is a beautiful touch to the shop. I am always so excited to visit & NEVER walk out empty handed! Love love this place!! read more

It is a lovely shop. The owner is pleasant and she has a lot of unusual plants, pots, etc. the atmosphere is really relaxing. I plan to bring friends from out of town in. read more

This place is located behind Plum. It's a separate shop that usually gets overlooked because there isn't a sign facing Main street and you need to walk though Plum in order to enter the shop. All the ladies in my life enjoy the plants and trinkets. It's a must visit for them. I like it too. It's a neat shop. I like the fishtank and the signing wall the best read more

This little hidden gem is always worth shopping at. The service is beyond helpful and everyone makes you feel right at home. Plants are the healthiest ive seen and recommend visiting strongly. read more

beautiful shop, full of very cool plants!! wonderful service!! I got the pickle plant (one I've never seen before in any other store) and the monstera ginny (a bucket list plant for me). The prices are normal for a plant shop, but the service is what made me want to write this review :)))! I went with my cousin who was expecting to fly home and bring her newly bought pots in her suitcase, and the shop owner carefully packed them in thick paper for her, giving extra sheets for later. She also kindly gave me (free of charge) a bamboo stick for trellising my monstera ginny with some green plant tape for tying it to the stick!! I'm very excited about it, as I normal struggle to find trellises that I like. Thank you for such a cute and fun plant store! read more

First and foremost this store has the most kind and helpful people. I had a plant emergency and needed help removing pests and repotting a beloved plant, I called Patricia and she was so kind and incredibly helpful. I was able to schedule a time to bring my plant baby in to the plant dr and she helped me fix her up. I am so relieved! On top of the amazing customer service, they have the coolest selection of plants, statues, stickers and Knick knacks. I never leave without at least one thing!! 10/10 read more

I love Fiddle and Fern. It is therapeutic just pottering through this shop.

I feel my plant care has really improved as when I have questions she is able to help answer them and my plants are thriving because of it.

Absolutely obsessed with this shop! I'm new to the area, and needed to settle into my home with some new plants and pots. Patricia was so helpful in finding the best plants for the particular lighting and humidity needs of my new place. Also, she stocks the most unique pots! She helped me repot a cactus I got a few years back that had propagated itself and was bursting out of its pot. She took almost an hour out of her day to help usher it into a more suitable space. So glad to have found this shop! Thank you Patricia read more

In light of Thanksgiving, I wanted to make a review for how wonderful Fiddle and Fern is. The owner, Patricia, has been so kind to us throughout this last year and always goes beyonds expectations. We've come to her for many house plant concerns like, steps we can take to heal our plants, repotting, and (most recently) deal with scale bugs! For each of these, she was so respectful, insightful, and gave extra effort. Including always checking our soil, cleaning the plant and pot, and even adding new soil/fertilizer or replacing existing soil! Even for the bugs, she physically removed them and provided insecticide that was harmless to us. Our Monstera came back looking healthy, beautiful and shiny! We are so grateful for her help and tips as we are sort of beginner house plant takers and we are sure to come back. On top of all this, the Fiddle and Fern shop is a welcoming and magical place. Has tons of plants that are so well taken care of, and so many books, tools, materials to help maintain your plants. I often look forward to coming back to Fiddle and Fern! read more

Come visit this magical place. One of the best, if not THE, best plant shop in Ventura County.
