Laguna Gardens Nursery

The sign says, thank you for your business, it’s been 30 years, they’re retiring, and going fishing! This has been here as long as I can remember.

I only just recently discovered Laguna Gardens Nursery, only to hear that it is closing its doors after 30 yrs. They will continue their green thumb ways with their landscaping business, but the retail nursery will close, thus freeing them up to enjoy more travel.
I noticed it’s 25% off terracotta pots banner when we were headed over to the arts festival last week, but we were simply too busy to stop by en route home that day. However, when I returned to LB Saturday for a girls day out of shopping, our schedule was more leisurely.
I was delighted to find a lot of organic soil and amendment options. I found the pots a bit pricey. Since they’re shutting their doors, I wasn’t expecting them to have a huge selection of herbs.
On the plus side, the 4″ pots prices is pretty good. I selected a few succulents which I don’t already have. Their succulent selection and size of succulents (it can be harder to find the really large ones) was excellent.
Sorry to see them go.

Very nice selection of hard-​to-​find plants and succulents. We’ve been coming to this nursery for years and the staff have always been very friendly and helpful. We’ve always been very pleased with the quality of the plants and their wonderful selection of succulents, native plants and other drought tolerant species.

After passing by this attractive nursery for years, always longing to visit, I finally made time to stop. It’s beautiful and peaceful, with attractive views of the nearby hills. However, an extremely unfriendly and unapproachable staff member I encountered left me feeling so poorly (how can that even be, being surrounded by such beauty?!), that I chose not to patronize the store. Given the customer service I experienced, I’m not surprised that there was only 1 review listed. There are so many other local nurseries — both attractive and friendly — where I feel my business is welcomed and appreciated.

Good selection, particularly of succulents. Very helpful and knowledgable staff.
Definitely worth checking out if you are in Laguna Beach, but also worthy of a special trip to see their wide selection.
