Fun. Sure they have plants, shrubs and trees for sale. And they have knowledgeable staff. And a small selection of gardening supplies. But what makes this place special and magical is the grounds. I love walking around the paths and enjoying the landscaping and sculptures. Great energy.

We took advantage of the design service Sierra Azul offers. We knew Jeff had a great reputation, so we felt comfortable putting ourselves in his hands and moving forward with our project without formal plans. We were not disappointed. We worked with the crew he recommended and are completely pleased with the way our project turned out. A great value and an efficient way to achieve what could otherwise take months and cost a whole lot more.

They have a great selection of succulents. I bought 6 airplants here. They have a variety of airplants but not terrariums. Was pretty shocked by they have plenty other potting arrangements to choose from.

A friend of my brought me here for the first time last month and I was sold! Great selection, beautiful plant installations and nice/​helpful staff. We came on the day artists were installing their work in the garden spaces; so very cool that they host this great sculpture show during the summer!!!

Now 5 years later this nursery and gardens are even more special!
The art is just awesome.
It was so uplifting to see what u can do
With drought tolerant plants!
Colors are fantastic !
Elizabeth who works there was the
Worlds friendliest knowledgable help.
She could even name a plant my friend
Couldn’t remember from 5 years ago!
You can not leave without some goodies–
That you may have to keep in a pot
If u no more room in the garden!
A beautiful way to spend the afternoon!

A great nursery if you are looking for some more rare plants. Staff is super helpful and willing to go the extra mile of looking up plants in encyclopedias and even recommending other nurseries from plants they currently do not have.

Great selection of plants laid out in a way that is conducive to garden design, as well as a knowledgeable staff willing to help with any concerns you might have about planting. And if you suck at landscaping, they will even design and install for you! They’ve got it all covered.
Stop by here if you’re heading over the hill, or coming to visit the coast. The beautiful gardens are filled with art from local artists, and it’s worth a visit even if you’re not looking to buy plants.

I have to say that this nursery is one of the most beautiful I have ever visited. Aside from that our experience was with the nursery’s Garden Design and Consultation services. We hired Nicole to advise us in the planting of over 200 flowers. She spent hours assessing my wife’s desires, taking careful notes, and choosing what flowers to plant and where. Then she came out and directed the gardeners how and where to plant each item. All went well except for a few small things. First of all, we specifically asked for only «flowering» plants and also no yellow flowers. We ended up with a number of both non-​flowering plants and yellow flowers. We had to replace quite a few of these. Second of all, a few of the flowers/​plants did not do well due to being planted in too much or too little sun. We also had to replace some of these. I give the nursery an «A-​OK» rating for effort and enthusiasm and although it wasn’t perfect we are glad we used the service.

Good selection of plants that are right for this area– drought tolerant and hardy for the climate. Helpful people, and a sculpture garden of sorts! Being there to just buy a bush for a pot at the farm made me want to come back later to just hang out and explore more fully. I’m sure I’ll be back!

Great selection of materials including natives, succulents and drought tolerant plant materials. The wholesale selection looks very good, but the retail section is great as well. In what might seem like a small space for retail customers they pack in quite a few plants, including some rare items. In just a short visit I saw several items of good quality that were priced higher elsewhere. Great plants, good selection, clean and tidy environment. Well worth the drive from San Jose.

Another store that warrants ‘Warning Warning!” Besides the mesmerizing, spectacular statue display that will take a good hour to see, there are plants rarely found in our areas. Oddities and treasures at really reasonable pricing considering. Bring a large vehicle and serious funds.

Castro Valley, CA
Awesome garden and sculpture garden! This was a real surprise and treat for us. Free, and easy to access and walk around. The artwork is wonderful, the gardens beautiful. They also have a tiny gift shop (shack), and a nursery. This truly is a «don’t miss» spot! You can walk through the entire place in less than an hour, but take your time and take in all of the sites and sounds.

This is one of Watsonville’s true gems! In addition to selling various plants, there is a sculpture garden right next door and it’s a great place to take photos and see the vegetation that is grown. Looks like all the plants are well-​maintained and the staff is pretty friendly and knowledgable. A very big area, and we’re not counting the other plants/​areas that aren’t accessible to the public.

Seaside, CA
This place is incredible. We’ve been buying plants here for years and seriously, today we had the best service ever. I am sorry that I forgot to ask the name of the man who helped us, but he spent a ton of time with us and we super helpful as we planned the replanting of our front landscaping. He was knowledgable, kind, and overall wonderful. Plus, they have an amazing selection of plants for our semi-​arid mediterranean climate and they know how to make the most of them. And the demonstration gardens with all the sculpture are gorgeous. It’s a great outing and a great place to buy plants.

We take out-​of-​town visitors here just to walk through the gardens. We’ve also gone to a few of the annual «Sculpture IS» events (going on right now through October). This place is AMAZING! Our most recent purchase was an exquisitely shaped Bloodgood Japanese Maple tree for our front yard. I love to go and describe an area I want to plant in: type of soil, sun, no sun, partial sun, etc. and have one of the sales people show me my choices — they have nailed it every time! Very reasonable prices too.
Great place to introduce kids to gardening and even have a picnic. There are workshops and educational talks as well as a well-​stocked gift shop. I always find something I didn’t know I needed: dried floral wreaths, gardening books, soaps, hand painted pottery, etc. If ever I’m in a crabby mood, taking a stroll through the 2 acres of demonstration gardens, snaps me right out of it.
A real gem!

I LOVE SIERRA AZUL! This place is so theraputic to just visit and walk around. It’s so beautiful and locally owned, and they’re a dog friendly place, just be careful of the jackrabbits all over! =) (i.e. don’t let your pooch eat them… cuz i don’t wanna see guts when i visit) if you go in the right months you can catch the MULBERRY TREE in full bloom. OMG, this is near heaven. The blond lady is the BEST; Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, has great gardening ideas and tips. =)

This place is on my top ten nursery list. The entire demonstration gardens are stunning (especially with the local artists’ sculptures). The nursery is exactly how I would design/​layout a nursery if I ever had one. Choices of unusual plants (including several different kinds of proteas, grevilleas, euphorbias, manzanitas, leucodendrons, natives, salvias, Mediterraneans, herbs, etc.), artistic & visible labeling, and flowing walkways make this a wonderful place to get lost in. Coming here? Make a day of it and stop at the local farmers stands on your way in for seasonal produce as well as Elkhorn Native Plant Nursery in Moss Landing, then after Sierra Azul drive up 15 or so minutes to Mount Madonna for a hike– then on the way back take your pick of the many places to eat.

This is a beautiul nursery and the staff knows their ‘stuff ’
I could spend all day out there just buying something of this or something of that– and Im not even much of a gardening expert– in fact, I know nothing about gardening– but the man who helped us took all of our ideas that we had and took us to the areas and plants that would be the best fit for what we are looking for– they also seemed reasonable on price. Im not sure about their guarantee on their plants, but I rate them 5 stars for sure!
