What a sweet find. Tucked into an overgrown corner lot, this one man show jungle is awesome! Plants of ALL sizes and varieties, decorative and unique pots, starts, air plants, carnivorous plants, other exotics, you name it, he probably has it. Have been here 4 times now, and it really makes me want to but property just so I can buy more plants! Lol. Seriously a nice place to check out and the owner is very knowledgable and will help you out with any questions, give you tips, etc. Very reasonably priced and good location. Just look for the 30ft tall bamboo and you’ve found the place!

Coolest nursery I’ve ever been to. Great if you’re into subtropicals. The owner is very cool. Bring a camera and take a walk down the sidewalk outside. He’s got the parking strips and also his adjoining yard full of exotic plants that you just don’t see every day. I wish I still lived near there so I could go all the time.

The place really seems to reflect the owner’s creativity. Whenever I’m driving by, it gives off a mysterious, tropical vibe that makes me want to see what kind of new plants are hiding behind the bamboo and the fence. The plant selection skews toward the unusual and it’s a good place to find different species of Arctostaphylos(Manzanita) and lesser-known plants like Grevillea, a drought-tolerant genus mainly native to Australia. There is interesting garden art and statuary among the plants, too. It’s not a tidy, organized type of nursery with everything lined up in rows. It’s funky and different – and for me, that adds to the appeal.

I love this place! You can get lost for days among the rare and exotic plants, both inside his sunporch and outside among the statues and art. It’s also a great place to take photos. We bought a bleeding hearts plant and it’s doing great in the pot on our porch. Will come back soon! It definitely lives up to the jungle name, fecund with greenery and small ponds everywhere.

I have been a casual shopper here for the better part of 20 years… I always go here for things that I can’t find at other nurseries, weather it be a special size or a unique plant. This nursery is just a small little treasure, nothing fancy, but a real asset to the gardening community.

I always have driven by this mysterious place, the outside is simply stunning and makes me always want to go exploring! I’ve never yet been until today. The inside is rather untamed, I expected it to look a bit more put together and kept up a bit, but it was still cool. Some of the plants have seen better days but I’m sure with some TLC they’d be magnificent. There was a guy there, going to assume the owner… he wasn’t particularly friendly, just kinda hung out, when I asked about some of the plants I was purchasing if they could go into a pot, he just said ‘sure’. Not much of a talker, okay, that’s cool. Prices seemed reasonable and they had lots of decorative things! I’m a novice gardener and only am able to plant things in planters and pots, but this place had good things in it for me! I’ll be back again should I have more gardening needs… and jungle fever? Though I didn’t think the place felt very jungley. Still was fun!
