Where is the best place in the South Bay to buy plants and gardening equipment?
I have several favorites. Again, I have tried to be more mindful of buying locally, not just for my food, but other products and that’s why I prefer buying from the small, independent nurseries that we still have left in the South Bay. It helps the local economy as well as helping them stay in business, and they tend to have better products and you can ask for what you want. A couple of my favorites are Moneta Nursery in Gardena who have wonderful roses, and edibles including a wide choice of herbs and vegetables. I also like Elwood Nursery up in Rolling Hills Estates. Since now is the time to plant tomatoes another place I want to mention is Laurel’s Heirloom Tomatoes, Laurel Garza is right in Lomita. You can order online, or she now has Plant Sale Days where you can actually go to her “city farm” and get the tomatoes. She grows organic heirloom tomato plants, with some varieties you can’t find anywhere else. Check out her site: http://www.heirloomtomatoplants.com/. You have a charity
