Nurseries And Gardening
“I’m a novice gardener so it’s very important to have a knowledgeable staff. King’s has that! They are very helpful. The plants are beautiful and healthy. Kings is relatively small so the selection is somewhat limited. The prices are a little higher but it’s worth it!”
“Bees n Blooms is definitely a Sonoma County bucket list located at 3883 Petaluma Hill Road, resting at the bottom of Taylor Mountain. This private organic farm and lavender garden offers a little piece of beautiful nature. From the moment you step in you’re greeted by breezes and fields that shine with color during bloom season.
While most of the blossoms have faded by late summer/early fall the space still holds a soft, natural beauty. The air smells faintly of lavender, birds flutter through the trees, and the whole place carries a calming energy.
The lavender labyrinth is a must. It’s the largest in California, with over 900 lavender plants and a half-mile loop that feels both grounding and meditative. There are also friendly farm animals like ducks and chickens, as well as open spaces to sit and stroll.
If you’re hoping to catch Bees N Blooms at its best, plan to come between mid-May and mid-July, when lavender season is in full swing. They host beautiful community events like sound baths at sunset, live jazz, food trucks, and the Lavender Bloom Fest, where guests can pick their own lavender bundles for $5. The farm also sells lavender products, plants, and honey — all local and thoughtfully made. When the garden itself is closed they still have their website open with products to purchase.
The staff seemed polite. My first ever visit here, the owner kindly approached us to explain that the farm was closed for the season and asked us to return another time. She did so respectfully, which I appreciated.
The only downside for me was the $15 admission fee and $20 on jazz days. While I understand it supports the farm’s upkeep, I do wish there were a discount or membership option for locals, since this is such a community-oriented space.
To the beautiful people of Sonoma County and visitors abroad, I recommend visiting Bees N Blooms at least once — especially during peak season. It’s a tranquil, soothing destination that captures the heart of what makes our county so special.”
“Wow!!! we love this place! The owner is amazing and helped us tremendously in picking out the perfect tree. one season has passed and the maple has bloomed and man it looks amazing.”
“This is the real thing. Nothing cute about it — big sacks and buckets of seed and fertilizer, native grass seed by the pound. I love this place — makes me want to be a proper farmer.”
“Love this place. Fast and Easy to unload my trailer full of green waste. I get my mulch from them as well. Would like to see some sort of discount for those of us who drop off yard waste and pick up mulch on the same day, seems a bit greedy to charge someone to drop off their stuff and get some of it back on the same trip, but who isnt about making or saving money these days?”
“Sprig is an awesome little nursery that packs a lot in! The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a wide variety of flowers, veggie starts, planters, and garden decor. I always start off walking around with plants in my hands, but soon have to transfer to one of their carts. There's so much good stuff to be had!”
“Whenever I come here I feel like a kid in a candy store. I want to buy one of everything! This wholesale nursery is well organized with a plethora of plants to choose from. The staff are always helpful and the prices reasonable”
“I heard there was a new owner and I needed a chainsaw so I stopped by. My experience was awesome. The shop was clean, I was greeted as soon as I entered, and they had the exact product I needed and a reasonable price. Then Brett showed me the features of the saw and told me I could come back as often as I wanted if I had additional questions. I had a great experience and highly recommend.”
“Ordered some flowers for my best friend's mom's 70th birthday and they completely surpassed my expectations. The arrangement was exquisite! I ordered them from South Carolina and they were delivered same day. She loved them!”
“While larger Home Depot locations may offer a wider selection, this Santa Rosa store is perfect for local needs. The staff is helpful, and they usually have everything I’m looking for. If not, it’s easy to have items delivered to the store or straight to my door, which makes it very convenient.”
“Hidden gem of Santa Rosa. Prices are better than everywhere else. The staff are extremely friendly and answer questions. Cannot believe it took me this long to find it. I will now buying all of my produce here!”
