Who Are We? Sunflower Farms has been growing into a virtual garden within a nursery for nearly 30 years. The owners acquired the nursery in 1975 and began to change the existing business from wholesale only to retail as well. It was a slow process and most weekends in the beginning were spent barbequing chicken wings and hot dogs on a hibachi in the parking lot. Word of mouth began to spread about the high quality plants and the friendly dissemination of plant knowledge from the owners and sales help. The nursery grew over the ensuing years and became a neighborhood establishment for plants, garden supplies and landscape design and service. As the retail nursery industry and the California business climate began to change, it was clear that the nursery needed to change its focus. It was always a dream of the owners to design a nursery that was a series of gardens where everything was displayed and sold from "landscaped rooms". Hence the birth of Sunflower Farms where large spreading trees and palms now provide the backdrop for several inspirational gardens including the Main Pathway; the Sculpture Garden, where hundreds of unique environmental art pieces accent plant and tree arrangements; the Orchard, which features a grape arbor and a large selection of fruit trees, vegetables and herbs; the Perennial Garden, graced by flowering Acacias and graceful Weeping Willows, is home to a shaded "Serenity" seating area; the charming Secret Garden, which is well hidden and meant to be "discovered"; the Bible Garden which features plants from the Bible and the Rose Garden with over 3000 rose shrubs, climbers and trees. Classical music soothes both plants and patrons. Monthly garden seminars and workshops for children and adults are held to help develop educated gardeners and spread the love for gardening and nature. Attention to the specific plant and gardening needs of patrons (who soon become friends) is the main focus of the owners who strive to present a varied selection of unusual plants, perennials, landscape favorites, trees, roses, herbs and vegetables. Hands-on, visual and informal design consultations are available for those who have"blank slates" to fill or who need a garden makeover. Annual events such as the Spring Garden Party, Mothers Day Tea, 4th of July BBQ, Harvest Festival and Holiday Open House have become neighborhood traditions. Sunflower Farms is an experience that you'll want to repeat often as the landscape and gardens continually change to inspire beauty, creativity and serenity. Remember.......
