My favorites for building a cottage garden! Each nursery has their own specialty that makes it unique - if I'm feeling like going the luxury route there are a few nurseries that deliver, or if I want more bang for my buck I'll head to a cash only gem...

One of my favorite spots that we frequent often in old town Tustin. Great selection of healthy plants, tools, and seeds. Prices are mid range.
Armstrong Garden Centers
Looking for a high end experience? Rogers is the place! Expect higher prices with amazing displays and hard to find varieties (Peonies in 10B? they have them!)
Roger's Gardens
Tons of succulents, fruit trees and cottage garden must-haves. Their rose selection isn't bad too!
Upland Nursery
Small family owned nursery with border plants, house plants, and everything you need for a fairy garden. I love stopping here on a whim to see what they have! I've found Queen Anne's Lace, Echinacea, and more.
M & M Nursery
Best nursery on a budget - make sure to bring cash or Zelle! It's kind of hidden so keep your eyes peeled. Don't get the plants from the front display - go for the $5 each pots (same plants, not on display lol)
V MONTOYA NURSERY
Tons of trees and privacy screening plants. I like stopping by to see what they have and my kids love running through the rows of trees.
Moon Valley Nurseries
If you're in South County, take a drive over to Green Thumb! Tons of plants and staff is very helpful.
Green Thumb Nursery - Lake Forest
OK hear me out - this Home Depot in Garden Grove has a ton more selection I think because of the clientele in the area that grow more fruit trees, flowers, etc. go check this one out!
The Home Depot
Had the best time here when were down in SJC - lots of gift items and beautiful plants to take home.
Plant Depot
Cutie house plant shop in Fullerton - I got some great gifts!
The Green Place
No not in Laguna Hills, it's in Tustin. Stop by for one of a kind plants, fruit trees galore and ca native plants to add to borders.
Laguna Hills Nursery
Go here to get inexpensive herbs and CA native plants. They also have chickens and supplies.
