Retail at Tree of Life Nursery
Welcome to Tree of Life Nursery! We are not your typical nursery. For over 40 years we have been building beautiful and healthy habitats one yard at a time by providing California native plants to the public. Plants, books, garden decor and unique gifts can be found in Casa ‘La Paz.’ Recently, we have also added a full line of seasonally available, organically grown vegetable starters in the new wing of Tree of Life, ‘La Finca.’
Over these last 40 years we have compiled amazing resources and experiences that we want to pass along to you. Customers who discover the nursery for the first time are delighted by the natural setting and enlightened with the information that greets them when they make the trip out the Ortega Highway. Once you have engaged with your native garden, seeing the butterflies and hummingbirds arrive and then stay to make a home in your garden, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.
