Cambria Nursery - A Favorite

Whenever we are in Cambria I could care less about shopping in town but I sure do love a visit the the nursery. This lovely cottage garden truly is a gem. Growing a cottage garden from seed is easy and the thing is many of the flowers reseed and multiply.

The have many demonstration areas that advertise their landscaping business. Yes, I will take this garden please.




Color is everywhere. And things just bloom so much brighter by the sea.


They have lots of fairy gardens on display.






                             Their shop is full of so much eye candy and fun things.


How To Plant A Cottage Garden From Seed...

Tips for Creating a Cottage Garden
  1. Keep it on the small side. ...
  2. You need a good mix of plants, to keep it from looking blurred or jumbled.
  3. Avoid straight lines.
  4. Start by planting large clumps, so it's not just a jumble.
  5. Repeat both plants and colors, to create a flow and harmony.
  6. Don't forget to add tall plants.

  6. How I would love to have a nursery like that to visit! The nurseries around here have become less and less distinctive, with less and less selection -- barely distinguishable from the plant departments at Lowes or Home Depot.

  7. I can see why you would love going there. I would too, so much to look at and to enjoy. We have a place called Corso's in Sandusky and they have all sorts of back yard pond ideas and the green house of course. I have not been there for awhile, but their gift shop is loaded with all kinds of pretties. Aren't those fairy gardens so cute, love, love, love them! I agree, the pillows are calling your name.

  10. Beautiful nursery.
    I love seeing all the flowers blooming at the nurseries. We recently found a mom and daughter 'home' nursery; but seeing how it is just the 2 of them...it doesn't have all the pretties. It just shows off the flowers and things.
    I have loved going there to get our plants this year...though there is no eye candy. :)
    I like the little extra touches this nursery has.
    I can't help but wonder what is in those barrels? Something hidden maybe? pipes, machinery... are they rain barrels?

    :)

  17. When I was a kid a neighbor had a tiny fairy garden in her back yard. She had a walk way so you could walk around the yard and see all the hidden gems in between the flowers and bushes. She even had a little bridge over a small pond with a gnome fishing. That was about 40 years ago and I can still remember all the details. It was so lovely.
