On Apartment Therapy
Big Red Sun has officially opened their Venice location on Rose. We had been eying their progress for a while: installing flying saucer planters, check. Painting the building bright blue, check. Painting the house next door bright green, check. Covering the front yard with flowering squash vines, check. This weekend we finally got a peek inside the rest of the place: part succulent friendly nursery, part retail shop (with incredible vintage finds), part modern landscape design firm; all charm:

I have been running around from nursery to nursery lately trying to plan up my garden and empty my wallet :)
I found some great nurseries in the Southbay and Westside as I search for the perfect outdoor fountain!
One is in Marina Del Rey, it is right as the 90 freeway dumps into the Marina. This is the place to go for a variety of succulents. I took these photos there:

The second one I like is called Moneta nursery in Gardena. It has the BEST selection of grown trees and vine growing plants.
My third find is the armstrong in torrance. They have the biggest variety of fruit trees I have seen at a nursery.
As you can see I have been nursery stalking lately ;) Rocky B on May 16, 2011
ahh, that makes sense. it seems obvious but watering is one of the main offenders. if you let the plant get too dry it won't make it and if you drown it, it will die too, so consistency is really the key. if you can, schedule one day a week to water (like every sunday morning) and then make sure you buy plants that don't need much water (like succulents). laure on Oct 20, 2008
