Pack Trial Story

Our club/group meting area is up and ready for your group.
To find out how your group can take advantage of this area and how to book your group for either a walk around tour or a special demonstration click on club meeting page. Of course we are always happy to have any group come and just visit without any extra help. Our plants just love to be admired.

We've added a section of house plants in this area. Nothing larger than can fit into a SUV or van.

It's been warm and cold. Some of the early spring color is just coming along. As usual there will be more plants in bloom each week as we go from March 1st on into full spring.

Our redo make-over over a section of our stream bed is now finished and everyone loves it. We are really pleased and hope that you will enjoy the running streams and waterfall too.

Our plants just love to be admired. We love helping you become a Good Gardener.
You love our little sign that says,"Don't be afraid to ask dumb questions" That says it all!

Good Gardeners are not normally given to bragging:

but then good gardeners are not normal!

Speaking of Traveling.... I had a nice email from New Zealand folks with a link to lists of gardens to see in New Zealand. They have now grown to 40 gardens and are continuing to grow. Many garden owners now operate B&Bs/farm stays/home stays/cottage accommodation/historic buildings/museums'/weddings/photos/cafes/functions both personal and corprate/home cooking/plant and other sales/fishing/animals and bird life/picnics and garden tours. All of us flower lovers appreciate having that kind of information when we travel so here is the link www.gardenstovisit.co.nz

Click here for Begonia Growing Information from the American Begonia Society Virtual Greenhouse. . You'll learn all about all the many kinds of begonias from the experts.

Good Gardening and see you soon, Evelyn....Mary too!

You can always email us or phone during weekdays and talk to someone. [closed Tuesdays] Our phone number at the nursery is 760 436 2194 ...
Our actual address is 695 Normandy Rd. Encinitas, CA 92024
When you call and don't get an answer or get a message, here's why.
Sometimes we are where we don't hear the phone, sometimes two of the three lines are busy and the phone rolls to the third line. Can't put an answering machine message on that line and we keep resisting one of those annoying "your call is important to us" set ups. Even if you don't get an answer keep trying the 760 436 2194 number and you'll get us eventually.
Quick driving instructions... Interstate 5 between Leucadia and La Costa exits---We are on the corner of Piraeus and Normandy.[ 695 Normandy] on the east side of the freeway. Piraeus is the name of the frontage road. It only goes between those two exits. Map
Signed, Evelyn
