After going to the Botanic Gardens the other day, we decided to check out this nursery. I've been wanting to stop at it since we first drove by on the way to visit the gardens. Apparently it's the oldest and largest independent garden center in Encinitas. There are tons of plants for sell, sectioned off into groups, i.e. , vines, edibles, trees, succulents, ect. We could have wondered around looking at new and interesting plants all day. Afton really wanted to buy a bunch of plants to put in the garden. There is also a super cute gift shop that sells all kinds of cute birdhouses, garden decorations, and pots. They even sell these cute miniature gardens with tiny benches, little pots filled with grasses and tiny flowers, and other small items like garden gnomes and watering cans. The lady there said they hold miniature garden workshops! I think my mother would have adored them. Lastly, they had a bakery with the most delicious cupcakes ever. I am a big chocolate fan, but their strawberry kiss cupcake was to die for.
I didn't remember to take any pictures until we made it into the little area where they had a large bird cage and houseplants for sale. Rowan and Afton were totally enthralled by the active and loud Finches and Parakeets. It was a really nice set up, with lots of lovely plants and relaxing wooden chairs. Next time I'm actually going to buy some plants!
