Sunflower Farms - Gardena, California

The party today was a blast, and I made great new friends. Christi and Russell are my plant gods—the ultimate go-to for any plant questions! Right at the entrance, you’ll see gorgeous, colorful pumpkins that they’ve grown themselves. Super impressive!

This nursery feels so natural, with every plant grown outdoors from scratch. You can really see the growth process—some plants grow tall, others short, just like raising kids. With a little effort, every plant I take home has the potential to thrive just like theirs.

It’s such a contrast to greenhouse-grown plants that rely on machines and chemicals. While those might look great at first, they lose their appeal quickly, and I can never seem to get them back to their original state, which takes away from the joy of gardening.

I highly recommend visiting. You’ll get to see nature up close, every plant’s journey. The thoughtful decorations, the joy of coffee trees full of fruit, persimmons and pomegranates in season, the kindness of Christi, Russell, all the staff, and the stunning, pink-blossomed century-old tree—it’s all amazing!

I cannot say enough great things about Wendy and the team at Sunflower Farms! It is a magical nursery, filled with so many exotic and unique plants. There is so much to choose from and the staff is incredibly knowledgable and friendly! They also have a wide variety of garden art, fountains and home decor. I always leave Sunflower Farms feeling stress-free and blissed out! Plus, Wendy often teaches classes on gardening and I get SO much out of them. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing family who runs this garden. This is a little treasure in the city. A definite must see. Also, their cat, Charlie chaplain, is a real gentleman. Come here to chat with the owners and pick up a plant during your visit. 10 of 10 would recommend.

It was definitely challenging to find parking for this place. On the street, is the only option. I got stuck circling around a few times to get a spot. Almost didn’t go. There was a lot of construction going on in the blocks near there.
It is a cute little place to go, they have great customer service, and had a nice ambiance. They have a pretty good selection of plants, but they didn’t have a few types I usually look for. Prices are a bit high, but maybe it’s needed in the current environment we are in to keep going? Could be understandable. They do have a Pumpkin patch area in the front for photos and a sunflower patch area.

This is a great place. good people and beautiful plants. The reason for the one star is because I bought an avocado tree about 4 weeks ago.. during the first week I had it the plant looked sad and droopy. Soil was moist so it wasn't thisty.. after that it was downhill.. I found out the root ball was completely rotten and the soil smelled like sewer.. this type of rot takes a long time to happen even if I had kept the entire plant submerged underwater it would not have rot that fast.. the rot had been going on for a long time.. so I called them and they said that all sales are final.. they sold me a dying tree for 60$. Most likely I will not return

We called from out of state to get an herb basket delivered. The national flower websites mostly do plants and flowers. We also wanted to support a local business mom and pop type shop. The service was Incredible. She didn’t have a herb basket so created one w 10 diff herbs. Sent photos along the way and hand wrote a note for us. I was blown away by the quality, service and kindness. I usually don’t take time leave lengthy reviews but this place is phenomenal.
