    This is where it's located.

    I am so happy I came here instead of my local Home Depot store! I was in the mood to redecorate my backyard and wanted to add a succulent to an outdoor table. Please note: Be patient with Francis! Her English is limited. Be resourceful. Pull up Google Translate on your phone to help yourself. I'm Spanish-speaking so it was easy for me, but I can imagine some of y'all Yelp folks getting irritated. Anyway, one thing I did notice was that this place is outdoors! Like a nursery you'd go to. The aisles are narrow, so just be mindful of your body and don't knock down any plants. Lol. Francis greeted me with a warm smile and demeanor. She was so sweet!! I almost wanted to give her a hug lol. I explained to her that I had a budget and wanted succulents. She quickly got to work on it. She asked me to pick from several plants but didn't overwhelm me. I think she ended up having fun working on it! I saw her burst into this creative mode, and it was beautiful to witness! An artist at work, and in her zone! Would I recommend? HECK YEAH!!! Support local businesses and hustlers like Francis.

    Francis's Cactus Succulents is my go-to shop for succulents in the LA area! While the outdoor shop is rather small, Francis has a great variety of succulents and the prices are unbeatable! Parking can be a little challenging, as the shop does not have any spaces of their own. Parking is available on the side streets to the left and right of the shop. The shop is very small making it easy to miss if you're driving by, but it's easy to spot once you park and walk down the sidewalk. I've purchased a large saguaro cactus here for only $80. The shop is cash only. There is an ATM at the convenience store (a 2 minute walk) located on the left when facing the shop. If you don't find what you're looking for on your first trip, be sure to check back - she is always getting new plants in.

    Nice ladies, only cash- no credit card or venmo!  It's a small cactus area but prices are reasonable

    Nice old ladies, small selection of succulents. They only accept cash by the way! The majority of cactus are small, only a few larger ones.

    Lots of tiny succulents in cute painted pots

    Tiny little outdoor spot between a couple of businesses....had to turn around before I finally spotted it. Lady was very sweet, but mostly Spanish speaking. Cute little creations she makes herself...I believe cash only.as.I didn't see any credit machines. Just a sweet lady sharing and making a living off her love of plants.

    So happy I stumbled upon this cute little nursery. The worker is so sweet and so knowledgeable about all the different types of cacti. I love that so many are potted already. The prices were also excellent. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to friends!

    I succulent obsessed, in a good way! Gardening and live gifts are my hobby. This place matches prices in San Diego which is usually unheard of for rare and special succulents. Check out my Photos! Their all alive and well and the smaller ones or pieces made for great Halloween and thanksgiving gifts for my neighbors and Mom!

    (Top Row): Mexican Snowball and Golden Sedum (Bottom Row): Jelly Bean plant and what I think is Ogre Ear.

    So happy to discover Francis's!!! I picked up these little beauties today and couldn't be happier!!! Wonderful selection. She is cash only, and these came out to be $13.

    Cutest little succulent shop! Variety of plants I've never even seen in unique and some handmade vases! The arrangements were abundant all grown and made by Francis. These make the perfect gifts! {cash only}

    What's not to love about this? Meet Clementina, I mean look at this for only $20!
    Marisol T.

    I found the owner to be very nice and welcoming, which is a must for me. She seemed very knowledgeable of the cacti too. Just walking into this place, I immediately fell in love with it. I ended purchasing a Cacti arrangement which was only $20!

    Paper spine cactus because it's scientific name is too easy to say

    I love this place so much I don't even tell my friends about it because I don't want them beating me to the rare plants and deals. Francis, the owner, is amazing and knows an incredible amount about the rarer cactuses, euphorbias and succulents Hands down the best place to buy such plants and I don't want to argue about it. Nowhere else comes close

    Great prices! Beautiful selection of cacti's and succulents. Definitely will be going back :)

    Thank you for making our wedding bouquets and boutonnières! They turned out so beautiful and amazing. She truly put so much details and time into my flowers and everyone at the wedding loved them. I ended up replanting my bouquet and it looks beautiful!! Francis is so sweet and I love her cute garden. She has a wonderful and unique selection of succulents and cactus. Great for gifts or a special event!

    My succulent haul! All for a total of $20.00!

A whole lot more. They also sell food, seeds, roots, soil, small, medium, large pots, different styles and colors of everything. Very durable and a tad expensive for my budget. Pots for your plants are so gorgeous. They do landscaping for people who own gardens (does not apply to me) and all the work the employees put in to those plants to make their customers happy and satisfied is a huge recognition. Employees are very knowledgeable, nice, and helpful. Also caring and understanding. A friend of mine had given me an indoor plant for my birthday last year and lasted me for a whole entire year and 3 months. It took the last breath and I went to them asking for help. It was a bit late. I am more of a flower girl than owning plants. I have had plants in my younger years. I ended up buying 2 new outdoor plants to put outside of my window/door. It looks very pretty. I have also purchased a Christmas tree from their lot twice. Established in 1889. That should say a lot about this lovely, beautiful garden/nursery. Big parking lot right in front of the nursery/shop, and 2 clean bathrooms. Thank you all.

It's well maintained in plants and people. I had a specific succulent I wanted to buy and called nine different nurseries before reaching Brandon on the phone at Standard. Instead of just telling me "no" like the others, he chatted with me...explaining how some succulents are created as a hybrid for one season and often are hard to find again. When I drove here, I was created by Anthony Gardner, a cheery, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful guy who showed real interest in my needs. And I wound up buying three plants for different areas in my garden. Two plants that I needed in multiple flats were sent to one of their many locations closer to me, so I didn't need make that long drive again. We've had follow up phone calls and each time I've found him friendly, responsible and, truly, going the extra mile for me.

    Be careful when doing business with The Standard Design Group…read more In 2023, my husband paid The Standard Design Group a $15,000 deposit under a contract for the company to grow 60 ficus hedges for our future landscaping project. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we became unable to move forward with the planting. When I first contacted Chriss, he told me we could use our deposit as store credit toward other materials or installation. After that, however, months of text messages went largely unanswered, and it became nearly impossible to get a response. It wasn't until I reached out through The Standard Design Group's Instagram account that Chriss became "responsiv again, telling us he would discuss the matter with the Board. After that, communication once again came to a standstill. When we ultimately requested a refund, we were told our only option was to pay the remaining balance of the contract and take delivery of hedges we can no longer use. Rather than working with us to find a reasonable solution or putting us in touch with management, we were repeatedly directed to a generic company email address. After reviewing our contract, we have serious concerns about the company's position. The agreement contains a cancellation provision referencing a 15% cancellation/restocking fee, yet the company is attempting to retain our entire $15,000 deposit, claiming that too much time has passed and that they have cared for the trees during that time. While we understand there were costs associated with growing and maintaining the hedges, that is the very business they are in. Larger hedges are substantially more valuable than smaller ones. If these hedges are still in their possession, they are worth significantly more today than they were when we paid our deposit in 2023. If they have already been sold, then they have recovered value from the same inventory while still attempting to retain our entire deposit. Despite this, we have never been provided with any explanation or documentation showing why the company believes it is entitled to keep the full $15,000 despite the cancellation language in its own contract. We have spent months trying to resolve this matter professionally and in good faith but have been met with poor communication, broken promises, and no meaningful effort to reach a fair resolution. As a result, we will be filing formal complaints with the California Attorney General, the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, the California Contractors State License Board (if applicable), the Federal Trade Commission, and any other appropriate regulatory agencies. We will also be pursuing all legal remedies available to recover our funds. We expected professionalism, transparency, and customer service from a company handling a project of this size. Instead, we've experienced the exact opposite. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend doing business with The Standard Design Group. Before signing a contract or paying a substantial deposit, I strongly encourage prospective customers to read reviews across all platforms. We are not the only customers who have raised concerns about this company's communication and customer service, and Chriss's name appears repeatedly in many of those reviews. Buyer beware.
