7 years agoWhat a lovely 1st experience and visit. I had called earlier this week as I was looking for some plants to help keep an erroding embankment from slipping down from heavy rains. I spoke with Sandra, and she asked I email her some photos to get a better idea of the location and sun requirements, which I did. She emailed me several options, and when I came in, she took the time to show me several more options, despite being very busy with many customers. I wish I had more time to wander the gardens/nursery! Driving in the long driveway, you feel like you are entering a secret garden with beautiful sculptures and pockets of beauty to entice you further in! I am looking forward to working with Tawapou Coastal Natives as we develop our property, and I am so crazy grateful to have such a wonderful resource available here on our Coast!

6 years agoThis place is devine! Plant selection and prices are great, good coffee and some baking, lovely natural store goods and amazing private seating spots dotted around the manicured garden some with views. Sooo relaxing. It's a real gem and well worth a visit. We came back the very next day.
