We saw their big sign across the freeway when we were visiting Cal Pacific Orchid Farm, so we…read moredecided to take a peek afterwards. This is located off of Piraeus Street that runs along the Northbound 5fwy. We entered Piraeus from Leucadia Boulevard. The commercial entrance came up first, then the regular customer entrance, thanks to their clear signs. It was mid-afternoon on a Thursday in January, so maybe that's why the nursery lot was kind of empty the further we went in. At the front area though, there were poinsettia trees still in bloom. I didn't even know that they can grow into trees (they don't last very long after the holidays in my care, lol), so I was actually fascinated to see them so big. They also had a fenced area with 2 small goats, possibly pygmy goats...so cute and friendly. Considering the cold weather, they had a good selection of healthy cacti, potted flowers and plants at reasonable prices (i.e., 4" pot of succulent $5.99, 6pk annuals/perennials $4.99). The bigger shrubs like hydrangea and hebe coed were more expensive ($26.99 and $28.99, respectively), but beautifully kept. We had no plans to garden any time soon so didn't plan on buying anything, but ended up getting some plant accessories, including a car-shaped ceramic planter that kiddo really liked, lol. Service was okay. We were the only ones there and took our time browsing, but no one asked if we needed help. The woman at the cash register wasn't rude, but not particularly friendly either.

I have heard of Anderson so many times before so I was glad that I was able to coincidentally pass by and stop by and spend a great time looking at all they have to offer, which is a lot. I particularly like the section about poinsettia's. They have a lot of variety and they were all fresh and beautiful. The only thing I think it should be improved. Is there a gift shop? I would want to see bigger and more assorted. Other than that, easy to park. Easy to navigate. It's been a great time there.

Easy, free street parking (use the side street or street behind the store--usually, much easier than parking on the 101). I don't shop for pots (or pot) or fountains that often, but I would gladly return. Give these folks a try.

I also picked up a stunning foxglove plant for Mother's Day, and it made such a lovely gift. She loves gardening and was asking me for a plant that had flowers and looked wild. I was also stressed over finding florals for our small wedding ceremony. At some florists, a simple wedding bouquet was well over $100. Here, they were able to give me exactly what I was looking for just under our budget of $100. The ladies here are so sweet and you can tell that they care about what they do. Their work is creative, natural, and full of heart. I highly recommend them for both everyday and special occasions!

I have completely fallen in love with this gem of a nursery in Encinitas. I have been searching for…read morerare plants all over North County and have found that this has the best selection and best value for rare houe plants. This whole rack of plants came from Cordova, and not a single one can be found at any other nursery for these affordable prices (think 25%-50% of the price you'd find online). I have found several White Princess and Pink Princess Philodendron that have made exquisite gifts for the holidays. The most amazing Philodendron I found was the Jose Bueno, its leaves are easily at least 18" and I snagged it for 1/3 the online price! I have also found Swiss Cheese Monstera, as well as Thai Constellation and Albo varieties. My other amazing find has been their String of Turtles and String of Hearts, which are very rare as compared to the more typical string of pearls. The owner shared with me that he's been in business for over 38 years! He is super knowledgeable and has a vast inventory (hence the competitive pricing). The plants are all super healthy, and I've not had a single pest interloper from their collection. I have never left this nursery without finding what I was looking for. So if you're looking for presents this season (prepare to wow all of your friends and family while not breaking the bank) or want to expand on your rare house plant collection, this is your spot. Go before I buy all their plants.
