Maruyama is such a hidden gem when it comes to a nursery. From tons of plants to choose from to…read moreproviding the best soil to their bonsai trees, this business does not take shortcuts! Not only are there a bunch of plants to choose from, the owners there are super kind and helpful! I went to buy bonsai trees for my mom's birthday and there were tons of options. I asked the lady for advice and she was able to help me narrow down which plants were best indoor, which were best outdoor, and how much they were. As others stated, prices aren't listed so you have to ask the owner how much the plants are, but they are fairly priced in my opinion. The owner was also helpful when it came to giving advice on how often to water the plants, where they should stay to get the best light, and answered all our questions. I ended up getting a ficus (left) and a juniper (right). When our ficus wasn't doing so well, we brought it back into the nursery hoping for answers on how we could better take care of it or plants like it in the future. Not only was she able to examine it, trimmed it, and showed us how to water it, she even went ahead and repotted a new one for us! We weren't expecting to even get a new ficus, but she went out of her way to find us another ficus, teach us how to take better care of it. This is one of the best shops I've ever been to as they truly care about their plants and their customers. We were just expecting to receive advice on how our ficus was dying and we ended up getting a new plant to start our journey again. No matter if you're a beginner or an expert, definitely give this place a go for some good service from the owners and some pretty plants!

I had reached out Mona WAY in advance to snag a spot at the Prickly and signed the contract to rent the space. About a month prior to the event, we solidified all the details with Mona and Ines. We had hired several vendors to come in with food, decor/ balloons and a bar service. The party went off without any issues and the guests loved the location. Mona and Ines were delightful to work with and put all my questions at ease. We had about 45-50 people at the party, which was a great number of guests for the site size and room to move around and so forth. If you are looking for an intimate backyard, feel event, with a cool barn, atrium and beautiful plants everywhere, look no further, book Prickly.

I've driven past it countless…read moretimes on the freeway since moving to Elk Grove, but this was my first time stopping in, and I was genuinely impressed. My daughter's uncle, his fiancée, and I brought her here after lunch to celebrate her birthday, and they let her pick out a couple of plants to take home. It turned out to be such a fun experience. The nursery has a huge selection of plants, flowers, pots, and garden décor, and it was easy to spend way more time browsing than we had planned. Everything was well organized, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just looking for your first houseplant, there's something for everyone here. My daughter was especially excited about the plants she chose. I'm honestly a little sad that I'm moving away because I know this would have become one of my regular spots. If you're in the Elk Grove area and have been meaning to stop by like I had, take this as your sign. You won't be disappointed!

Over the years, they grew in popularity and I saw the new neon signage go up and am always excited to see their next new landscaping and added features. This is a split between gardening supplies and plants. They don't have trees like your average nursery, but more of succulents, cactus, herbs, and decorative flora. They sell tons of giants pots and has an indoor shop with cute gardening knick knacks. I've purchased many cute household plants from them. I love that the space itself is decorated to give you ideas for your next project. It's a nice stroll thru paths, gazebos, and ponds/water structures. There is an annual butterfly event when the butterflies migrate and stop by the Secret Garden's many passionfruit vines. During their summer events, there's rotating vendors. I actually found my favorite coffee from a pop-up here, which now they have a brick and mortar shop downtown, Burnside Coffee. Whether you're looking for ideas or cute plants, the Secret Garden has it. Sometimes it's just nice to stroll around their grounds. I'm hoping they expand more in the future and add more gardens and structures. Hopefully they can set up a picnic area and have more events.

Her husband and her have a farm and me and mine occasionally join them since we live down the street from the nursery. The staff there are so so friendly and knowledgeable. We want to plant fruit trees and start a veggie garden, eventually. Between the staff and my best friends I feel very comfortable learning how to have a green thumb. As far as price goes, since this is my first time there and not really buying plants aside from the seasonal flower to indoor plants I'm not too familiar with it being good value. But I do believe they are as my best friends always come back and the constantly have fliers for sales. They also give notice to upcoming community events. Our last visit we realized that they also sell beef cuts, tallow, jams and honey. We decided to purchase the honey and we just tried it with tea and by itself, and we will be repurchasing! We're excited to get our beef there too. But amazing place, heavily believe in supporting local nurseries it's worth it.
