The Plant Foundry http://www.plantfoundry.com/ is a small urban nursery located at 3500 Broadway in Sacramento. We had heard about this nursery and decided to check it out.
What a nice surprise, for a small nursery. In this nursery you will find a variety of plants, such as air plants, succulents, native plants, drought tolerant, shrubs and trees, heirlooms and cottage plants. They had a good variety of edibles as well. All the plants looked healthy and well-labeled, some of their plants are from Annie's Annuals. Fruit trees, and dwarf citrus were also available. This nursery also carries certified organic soils, fertilizers, and soil amendments.
When the City of Sacramento approved backyard chickens, this nursery added Artisan chicken coops, so if you have backyard chickens you might want to check them out, plus they have certified organic feed.
In their inside nursery, they have books on gardening, Artisan made pottery, certified organic seeds, and tools. If you're looking for garden décor they have it including- small table and chair sets for a deck or patio.
The Plant Foundry holds classes on succulent gardens, orchids, and terrariums-to name a few offered during the year.
This was a much understated nursery that has a lot for its size. We were really surprised at what they had for this small space, surprised and very pleased as well. They have qualified people to help you answer questions. You can spend as much times as you want, a little or a lot. I intend to return in the spring to see what they may have, it's not too far away and easy to find.
