Can't say enough good things about Moon Valley and our experience picking out our Meyer Lemon tree…read moreand Bouganvilleas. Patrick came over last month and helped us plant both trees and gave us some awesome tips on upkeep. For the Meyer tree he suggested a nitrogen-rich fertilizer and a well-draining acidic soil. We went with an organic soil from Kellogg Gardens, and added Perlite as he suggested. The tree seems happy and we're seeing about a 4 inch growth already. For the Bougainvillea, he suggested planting in the ground. We dug a hole twice as wide as the root ball, left the plant in its original plastic grow pot, and just cut off the bottom and slashed the sides. Moon Valley and Patrick's attentive service and help really has brought our little patio garden to life.

I figured there was very little chance of these being sold around here. After showing Joe the list he said "yup got them. Let me show you." I was absolutely taken aback. He had everything, including well grown, very rare species. Many of his trees he grows from his seeds. An amazing place that will eventually take all of my retirement money. I can't wait to return back!!!

Amazing compost and other gardening needs. The owner is very knowledgeable and is super friendly…read more He will walk the grounds with you to explain his products and whatever he recommends for your specific needs. We've been going to this place for years even when they were in Escondido and have had the best service. I've had plants living off the same soil and doing well without adding much. The best part is now, they allow you to bring in a large trashcan about 20 gallons or so and fill it up if you don't have a truck. Super fair pricing. A lot cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe's especially if you're getting into gardening and want really good soil that has been tested. They also sell worm castings, calcium, coco coir and other really nice additives for your soil. They are in the process of creating a soil for a house plants that reduces the house flies/fungus gnats if I remember correctly. This is the only place I will ever go for soil or other garden needs that I can get there.

I would definitely be back and I will recommend Javier Flower and Garden to my family and friends.

Yes, Marty is a bit quirky and there is no signage indicating where the business is (look for the black mailbox marked 2727) but he is very knowledgeable and has a large variety of plants and trees.

Since Marty is a grower, he picked out 8 beautiful and well-matched trees from his stock and helped me load them. If you can't find what you are looking for, give Marty a call.

This was a very whimsical place. I was expecting the store to be open, as per their schedule, but…read moreit was not, and I felt a bit like in a wild area to be discovered where no one controls who enter the premises (which is good, people are working cutting trees and doing chores and they let you be there taking pictures or just enjoying the nature). I liked this wild component and especially the parrots. They were fun, I was talking more than them and sometimes it was almost impossible to have a conversation with them. I think they understand Spanish better, so we exchange some greetings in my native language;). Lots of greenery but, as others have commented, a bit on the rundown side. There was a food truck which was a nice touch. Parking was easy at the corner, although it is easy to miss. I will go back, is a different kind of nursery I would say.

Instead you have a natural setting consisting of large trees, meandering paths and a few live animals to keep you entertained while you shop for things for your own home or garden. You will find flowers, plants, and other unique gift items. The property is set up to host private events, such as farm style dinners, weddings and other artistic functions. One event I have seen is yoga in the gardens. If you are looking for a beautiful place to explore in NCSD, this is a wonderful place to go. You can even pick up some fresh goat milk on your visit! #FillYourBasket #BuenaCreekGardens #GoatMilk
