Sonoma County Nursery Tour

and Gardener’s Resource Guide

This is our 6th Annual Guide to Gardening in Sonoma County… including gardening resources located from East Santa Rosa to the Coast and from Healdsburg to Tomales. Articles written by landscaping professionals educate you on drought tolerant landscapes, trimming for fire-prevention and growing Victory Gardens to nourish your body as well as your soul.

This self-guided tour is designed to entice gardeners to explore Sonoma County’s locally owned nurseries and to do business with local professionals.

By purchasing plant material that has been propagated locally, we know these plants will thrive in our eco-system. By supporting local nurseries and garden related businesses, we support our home communities.

I follow the distribution route of my newspaper, the West County Gazette, because these are the roads and nurseries I know best. This is my home. The nurseries in this tour are ones I enjoy for their unique characteristics and wonderful people, the breadth of plant material they offer, and their location close to your home. Landscape professionals, landscape material and other resources are included to make the resource guide more complete.

The list includes businesses who responded to our inquiries for information, so if there is a business not on our list, we were simply unable to confirm their information.

Please refer to the Nurseries page for addresses and info, and the map to guide you to their locations. And just for fun: enjoy the ride along the way. We live in our very one paradise!
