Country Plants - Santa Monica, California

I LOVE this nursery, it is conveniently located on the coast close to Will Rogers State Beach, just north of Santa Monica Pier. Beautiful indoor and outdoor plants of all sizes all placed and displayed in a very tropical and natural way, you feel you are in a tropical rainforest! The staff is extremely friendly and allow you to walk-through, browse, and take pictures. This is a must-visit if you are a plant-lover, a local, or a tourist wanting a luscious experience.

Amazing plant shop! HUGE VARIETY! Healthy and great quality outdoor and indoor plants. Owner is so nice and knowledgable. Truly an experience to walk through all the different plants. Very cheap prices and they accept card.

An undiscovered little oasis tucked into a nook on the PCH. The orchids and house plants inside are thriving and beautiful and the succulents, gardenias, bougainvillea, Spanish moss, agave, aloe, Jade, air plants, and citrus trees outside are very well loved and well cared for. A gem of a place run by a very kind man who has been running it for thirty years.

This place is incredible. There are so many varieties of plants and they’re beautiful. Pricing is also great compared to other nurseries in LA (and I’ve been to a lot). The owner is so insanely kind and it was truly a small business. You can tell he loves the plants and was very honest about their condition and age and all info. It was such a win on all sides and I am so so happy to have supported him and have amazing new bougainvillea and lavender and so much more. I loved the owner and place so much, it definitely should be a go-to.

I'm beyond happy I discovered Country Plants! I went for the first time today. I was looking for bougainvillea on a trellis. After striking out at some nurseries in Culver City, I finally found what I was looking for at Country Plants. The bougainvillea ranged from $90 to $200 depending on the size. The price was right ($200 for a beautiful flowering bougainvillea on a big, 5" x 4" trellis). A trellis alone can cost $50! They had all different colors of bougainvillea. The business owner, Yoon, was so friendly and kind. It reminds you how good it feels to support local business. Not to mention Yoon delivered the bougainvillea to us in Culver City for a tiny delivery fee.

Parking tip: There is a dirt area on PCH right in front of the business where you can park (see my photo). If those spots are taken up, try parking on Entrada Drive or Channel Lane.

I see this place in my dreams. It's one of the most special plant stores I have ever been. It's like being in another world there. The man who owns it is lovely. I get really excited to go back year after year (he's been there longer than I have even been alive) and see how his collection has grown and changed. Some of my favorite house plants have come from this beautiful, special secret garden.

Tons of healthy plants and not a single fungus gnat in sight, which is pretty impressive given the size of the place. I got a massive Aglaonema (pictured) almost a year ago and it’s still doing great. They also have a ton of pots. Only downside is parking, but if you either pair it with the beach or go outside of beach hours your should be fine.

Been getting plants and GORGEOUS orchids here for years. I can’t say enough good things about this little gem of a place. Joon, the owner, is the real deal. He loves his plants, cares for them so well and is so helpful identifying the right plant for the right spot. Super knowledgeable.
