Beautiful nursery that my friend and I spotted on our way to Agate Beach. Small gravel parking lot that's one way in/out, so be mindful of how you park. Great selection of items including flowers, trees, palms, succulents, herbs, potting mix. This isn't a Home Depot garden/wholesale, so be prepared for some steep prices. A one gallon pot size of a commonly seen succulent is around $15+. However, the plants at Las Baulines are well-nourished and happy unlike the shriveled half-dead ones you might find at a Home Depot. I wish the prices were more clearly marked (most of them didn't have any price signage on or near them). If you're willing to dish out a few more bucks, I recommend stopping by here. read more

Permaculture, On Gardens, Delicate Balance- LOCAL NEWS on nursery posing to care and be hip- even when it is not LOCALS in Bolinas Community asked me and are asking each of us to Protect Precious Environmental Wonders- if you visit, if you cherish this place, please don't buy here. Do you like butterflies? I am sure you do. I know I do!  We grew up with butterflies. Maybe our kids will miss out....Beyond being spectacular, butterflies are major pollinators of fruits and flowers, and things we rely on and what we like to eat: thing of every flower you hold dear. On behalf of neighborhood elementary school kids who took a field trip to visit this nursery to make a request, and the owner disregarded this: to just appreciate our predicament to ask the owner of Las Baulinas Nurser not to sell tropical Milkweed, or milkweed in this coastal community. School children ask: Please help ensure pollinators survive and DON'T SELL MILKWEED in Coastal Communities. Milkweed grown near the coast disrupts the Monarch Butterflies migration and ability to survive- as a species. Why? I did buy her milkweed, after the owner assured me it was the native kind, (not tropical), handing me a pamphlet, only to find out later it was the wrong type, derails the Monarchs flight patterns, our butterflies are dying in droves. Butterflies need us to care enough and care more! The problem: b/c well meaning people think if we are planting milkweed close to the coast we are doing good right? Come to find out butterflies are not leaving for hotter climates so ultimately the milk weed disrupts their migration and they don't survive when they winter here. The local Bay Area Community have been reaching out to Las Baulinas to ask them to be more sensitive, to not just appear to care about butterflies!  But not sell milkweed- which disrupts the Monarch's migration, Las Baulinas poses as a permaculture friendly place, when I asked if I was buying tropical or native milkweed the owner said it was native, and instead I learned later it was tropicl milkweed. I always liked visiting here from up North, but I am disappointed as they are not fully aware how this practice contributes to the dwindling numbers of local butterflies. Please consider if you do shop here to mention this, and ask her to protect local butterflies like Monarchs, b/c you can make a difference, as they continue to sell this in this coastal community- even after asked!  The kids from the local school visited this place to make it clear to the owner and how important Monarch butterflies are- and we need to respect their habitat. When I asked if the milkweed was the kind that wasn't tropical they assured me that it was the right kind, Mistake One: IT was TROPICAL and not the wild kind. Mistake Two: We are disrupting the butterflies natural habitat, chance of survival and feeding patterns and cycle by planting this close to the coast. Do not squander the opportunity to make your voice heard. Longevity for our kids, our communities: Day to Day we must face this, be conscious, how we must share nature and not be careless and trample on these little creatures only refuge and home.

Jacquie was so helpful. I wanted to send a plant as a sympathy gift to someone in Bolinas. I called and spoke to her on the phone. She texted me some very nice suggestions, repotted the plant I selected in a nice pot and delivered it. read more

This is a magical spot! I recommend stopping by even if you're not looking for plants. It's beautiful!!! There's a large selection of plants here. Fruit trees, ornamentals, annuals, perennials, vegetables, trees, bushes, flowering plants, vines, carnivorous plants! And a selection of fresh cut flowers available for arrangements. read more

What's not to like!? This is a fantastic nursery with lots of resources- including cut flowers, for one thing! All sorts of garden accessories, veggie seeds of all types including special Italian seeds in packets, grass, fava, and green mulch by the pound, fertilizers and plant food, pots and planters, and a total feast for the eyes! Had I known there was so little content on Yelp I would have taken more pictures, because some of the displays today were just breathtaking. The scent of Spring bulbs and all of the cut flowers were intoxicating. Out in the nursery, he (i guess the owner is a guy?) has *all* sorts of plants in everything from 4" pots to 15+ gallon pots, for every situation your yard might have- shade, wet shade, drought, full sun annuals, perennials, trees in pots and trees bare-root. There's even a large water feature in the back! I remember the first time I came here I'd been at the beach, all day,and may have had a few beers in the sun- and I saw an employee on some floating thing, taming water weeds in the big pond in the back like some swamp master. It made quite an impression! I really enjoy walking around and getting inspired here. Smells are free! But since they take cards (the plastic kind!), you can get things to take home and nurture them wherever you dwell in Northern California or points beyond! read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE! These people are so rude they don't deserve to be in business. If your looking for friendly run for the hills! I was looking for a restroom when I entered this shop while waiting for a tour we booked next door. . They rudely said no. Fine . I love plants have about 50 in my personal collection so I wanted to look around. I was in the store for less than 2 min when I asked if I buy some plants if they had a restroom. All 3 ladies looked at me and told to leave?!?! Umm what??? I just offered you business . Definitely don't plan a wedding or event here. You don't want one of these ladies sour personalities to ruin your day. That's ok I checked out cloud hidden plant in town who was absolutely amazing and friendly and even packed up my plants for the flight home! Check him out for sure! read more

Stopped in on a whim and was totally charmed by this little nursery. They have a wonderful selection of plants specifically chosen to thrive in our coastal California climate. If you love to garden be sure to pay a visit when you're in the area! read more

Awesome nursery. We picked up three banana trees and a palm tree for a nice price. Great selection of plants, fruit trees, succulents, etc. Customer service: good. Parking: easy read more

NB: my actual rating is 4.5 stars. My late wife is buried in the Bolinas Cemetery and some friends of hers were coming from outside of the area, to visit her grave. In preparation, I had redone some plantings the afternoon before they were arriving. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had underestimated the amount of groundcover I needed, which left about four square feet barren! Worse yet -- I didn't discover this until 6pm! Then I remembered that there was a nursery just a few hundred feet away, so I quickly drove over to Las Baulines, hoping to buy enough of *something* to fill the bare patch. To my dismay, I discovered that they closed at 5, and the place was dark inside. However, I noticed that there were still two cars in the parking lot, and I thought I saw a figure working in the back of the nursery. Calling out to them, I explained my predicament. The woman came over and very kindly let me in, and we picked out three flats of elfin thyme, which perfectly complimented the other groundcovers that were already in place. (She explained that she was still at the nursery because of the kitty who lives there, insisting upon being brushed and pet, so I should give a shout out to kitteh for helping too.) The reason I'm reserving half of a star has nothing to do with how wonderfully accommodating they were, or the selection, but simply because each flat was $32. The day before, I had purchased 14 flats of the same size and of the same type, at Lowe's and at The Home Depot, for $13 each. Yeah, I get that Las Baulines is a family-owned business, not a big box store, so they may have to pay more for their stock. But it should be understood by potential customers that this isn't a bargain-basement nursery (not that much of anything else in Bolinas is inexpensive). But if it's within your budget, I highly recommend Las Baulines. read more

I had a very bad experience. I bought 2 trees from them with the understanding that they will deliver next time they go into San Francisco. Then I called a few months later and they couldn't find one of the trees, took them 3 weeks to respond to find the other tree. Then they said they won't deliver but only meet me half way in farmer market in sf. Then they told me they will be at the market til 11. Then they said they will call me a day before to finalize time but never did, then they said they would call me the day of to finalize the time , Then they called me 8:45 in the morning to tell me they were done with the farmers market and they would be going home and won't come back to sf for a while! Totally disorganized , and totally disregard customer experience . At the end they said they will refund. Big disappointment by their unprofessionalism read more
