Item Description
Have your breath taken away at the beautiful Sierra Azul Nursery and Gardens! Located in the Pajaro Valley, at the edge of Watsonville, adjacent to the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains where the winter weather is mild and summer is tempered by frequent fogs from Monterey Bay. The Pajaro Valley is known for its favorable agricultural and horticultural climate and is home to many nurseries and farms.
Sierra Azul specializes in plants from the five mediterranean climate zones in the world. Manzanita, ceanothus, sage, flowering currant, toyon, and iris are some of the native plants that they feature. Other Mediterranean plants that grow very well in local gardens are: rockrose, sunrose, rosemary, lavender cotton, lavender, and thyme. Several shrubs originate in Chile. They also grow many proteaceous shrubs from Australia and South Africa: grevilleas, banksias, proteas, leucadendrons, and pincushions as well as other unusual treasures. A wide variety of sages are available throughout the year and have many grass-like plants.
The demonstration garden is a favorite place for customers to walk through and enjoy. People come for ideas and inspiration for their own gardens. Landscapers bring their clients. Homeowners come to see what a particular plant looks like mature, and to follow the seasonal progression of the garden. Artists come to paint, bird watchers for the birds, teachers bring classes, families come for picnics, and beleaguered workers come for mental health breaks. We hope the Sierra Azul gardens will inspire gardeners and turn homeowners into garden enthusiasts!
