Encinal Nursery is a wonderful and spectacular plant store, a true little gem. The nursery has a huge array of plants, seeds, pots, and other gardening supplies packed into its space. The plants are beautiful, look healthy, and transplant well. The employees are exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, and provide supportive and educational care for shopping, repotting, and drilling holes in pots. They are described as having eager, happy-go-lucky, bright, and cheery attitudes that encourage amateur gardeners. While noted as quite expensive, the quality is considered worth it, making it a beloved local destination for both necessary supplies and simply looking around.
Street parking available - yay. People friendly and helpful. So many plants to choose from and they all looked healthy and cared for.

This nursery has a good selection of both outdoor and indoor plants, and everything looks healthy. I especially enjoy strolling through the greenhouse.
