Our mission is “to collect, grow, display, promote, and distribute new and uncommon varieties of ornamental plants for Southern California gardens”, and we propagate and grow most of the plants we sell right here at our one and only location. With more than 20 years in San Marcos, we are proud to have introduced many excellent garden plants into the nursery trade, including many low-maintenance drought-tolerant plants that attract hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden.

Our customers are mostly home gardeners who really care about plants and want to make their gardens something really special! We are happy to welcome you here and help make your garden truly wonderful! Glorious Gardening from Steve, Shari, & Jacob!
