As soon as we walked in there wasn't any type of greeting. Just a condescending stare and a cold "can I help you". Wasn't wearing a mask and we were also followed from the parking lot by a barking dog that was theirs. It wasn't until a younger girl came from the back and told the dog to stop barking at us that the older woman told the dog to leave us. Also they left loose pvc pipes on the ground that I tripped over and the old lady saw me and didn't even ask if I was ok. Anyway beware of this store don't waste your time going in. Maybe they'll be nicer if you're not a poc.

THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST! Digging Dog Nursery in…read moreAlbion, California is simply the best of the best for mail-order plants, not only the usual variety one hopes to find but also hard-to-find perennials, tropicals, and other assortments. Their service is excellent; they respond to enquiries quickly and politely, and provide full answers to your questions. They are happy to combine or add-on to orders, and will acknowledge same via email; they will also hold shipments if you prefer a later date (always helpful for Zone 5b/6a). Again, their customer service is excellent; they are responsive, helpful, and extremely courteous in their emails. Now, about the plants: THESE ARE THE BEST MAIL-ORDER PLANTS I'VE EVER RECEIVED! I often order plants for clients throughout the year; each shipment from Digging Dog Nursery is carefully, securely, and safely packaged. Yes, the shipping/handling costs are high, but as I've noted, they are shipping from Albion, California to Lake County, Illinois and nothing is as cost-effective as it used to be. Each of my clients' orders have arrived in beautiful, fresh, green condition; the plants are healthy, and ready to go in the ground. My clients have commented numerous times upon both the quality of the plants and the quality of the packing; they were, are, and remain absolutely positively impressed in all aspects! I am happy to recommend Digging Dog Nursery in Albion, California for all your mail-order plant needs. THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST!

We stopped on our way home and never expected to find a place this special…read more We stopped at Simply Succulent on our way home from our weekend trip to the Fort Bragg area. We thought we'd look around for a little while and then continue home to Chico. Instead, this ended up being the best part of our entire weekend. Rella Gadulka has owned and operated Simply Succulent since 1995, 31 years, and after spending time with her I completely understand why. You can't Google 31 years of hands-on experience and knowledge. Chico has a few big box stores where I can buy succulents, but they are basically all the same. Same plants, same varieties and nothing really different. Walking into Simply Succulent was a completely different experience. There were plants I had never seen before everywhere I looked. What impressed me even more was the way Rella helped me choose what to buy. When she found out I lived in Chico and knew how hot our summers get, she showed me what would survive and what wouldn't. She actually talked me out of buying some plants I wanted because she knew they wouldn't do well in our heat. I quickly figured out that Rella is very protective of her plants, and I loved that about her. She grows these plants herself and actually cares what happens to them when they leave with you. She isn't just trying to make a sale. She also knew I wanted to propagate, so she started showing me plants that already had lots of little "chicks" or babies growing around them. She showed me which ones I could take home, separate and eventually turn into dozens of plants. Instead of trying to sell me more plants, she was basically teaching me how to make more myself. I also loved that she had cuttings from so many of her plants. If you can't afford the larger established plant, you can buy a cutting and grow your own. It didn't matter to Rella if you were spending a few dollars on a cutting or several hundred dollars. She still took the time to help you. She even gave me her email and told me I could contact her anytime if I had questions once I got home. Who does that anymore? My love for succulents started 8 years ago after my daughter died. I wanted to keep fresh flowers at her cemetery site, but I couldn't afford to replace them every week. One day I noticed another person visiting their loved one had succulents around their site. I asked them about the plants because at the time I didn't even know what a succulent was. It didn't take me long before I had surrounded my daughter's site with succulents too. What started because I couldn't afford fresh flowers turned into one of the most healing things I could have ever done. I learned how to grow and propagate them and eventually started sharing them with other people who had lost someone they loved. Rella had no idea about any of this while she was helping me. She had no idea how much it meant when she was showing me plants covered in babies that I could turn into dozens more. I honestly could have stayed there all day listening to her and looking at plants. Unfortunately our 3-year-old grandson was getting fussy and apparently he didn't share Grandma's enthusiasm about spending the rest of the day at a succulent nursery. Then we went to pay. We had picked out several hundred dollars worth of succulents and that's when I saw the sign saying no cards, cash or checks only. My heart sank. I don't carry a checkbook anymore and didn't have that much cash with me. I honestly felt sick thinking we were going to have to leave all these plants behind. Rella didn't even bat an eye. She told us to take the plants home and send her a check Monday. I seriously couldn't believe what I was hearing. We were complete strangers. We had never been there before. We don't even live close. We live hours away in Chico and this woman was willing to let us drive away with several hundred dollars worth of her plants without paying her anything that day. Who the hell does that anymore? Rella does. She told us that this world needs to be more trusting. That literally gave me chills. What got me even more was when she told us that she has trusted other people to send her payment and some of them never did. Yet she still chooses to trust people and believe they will do the right thing. After 31 years in business, she hasn't let the people who took advantage of her change who she is. I just hope nobody else ever takes advantage of her kindness. Eight years ago a stranger at a cemetery introduced me to succulents during one of the hardest times of my life. Eight years later, another stranger trusted me enough to send me home with several hundred dollars worth of those same plants just because she believed we would keep our word. There are still some pretty damn good people in this world. By the time we left, Rella didn't feel like just the owner of a nursery we happened to stop at on our way home. She felt like someone we had somehow added to our family.

Since I don't live in the area, I wanted to see what this shop had to offer. I was enchanted by the gift shop, with many tasteful items. I especially liked the decorative metal stakes and the Japanese seed packets. There were many other seeds that were attractively packaged, with nice descriptions. I wanted to peruse the seed offerings, but the music was so loud, I could not focus or think about how a particular seed would work for me. The music apparently helps the workers get through the day, but it drives customers away. No one ever greeted me or offered assistance, and I was barely acknowledged when making a purchase. Disappointing.
