Glendora Gardens

The inspiration

Glendora Gardens sits in the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley as what its owners call a good natured nursery, a place meant to cultivate a love of all things outdoor¹ . The family believes gardening can require minimal labor, water, and chemicals, and that it should be easy and enjoyable for everyone² . Their goal is simply to help customers become successful gardeners² .

Who's behind it

Greenhouse Product News notes she managed the nursery for 15 years before leading its purchase³ . The nearly 10-acre property has been in the family's care since 2014² .

What to order

• Pottery: sold alongside plants for easy container gardening, with designers who build custom arrangements .^1,4
• A stroll through the display gardens: themed beds in drought-tolerant, Mediterranean, and woodland styles that take the guesswork out of combining plants .⁴
