Las Baulines Nursery

DO NOT SHOP HERE! These people are so rude they don't deserve to be in business. If your looking for friendly run for the hills! I was looking for a restroom when I entered this shop while waiting for a tour we booked next door. . They rudely said no. Fine . I love plants have about 50 in my personal collection so I wanted to look around. I was in the store for less than 2 min when I asked if I buy some plants if they had a restroom. All 3 ladies looked at me and told to leave?!?! Umm what??? I just offered you business . Definitely don't plan a wedding or event here. You don't want one of these ladies sour personalities to ruin your day. That's ok I checked out cloud hidden  plant in town who was absolutely amazing and friendly and even packed up my plants for the flight home! Check him out for sure!

Permaculture, On Gardens, Delicate Balance- LOCAL NEWS on nursery posing to care and be hip- even when it is notLOCALS in Bolinas Community asked me and are asking  each of us to Protect Precious Environmental Wonders- if you visit, if you cherish this place, please don't buy here. Do you like butterflies? I am sure you do. I know I do!  We grew up with butterflies. Maybe our kids will miss out....Beyond being spectacular, butterflies are major pollinators of fruits and flowers, and things we rely on and what we like to eat: thing of every flower you hold dear.On behalf of neighborhood elementary school kids who took a field trip to visit this nursery to make a request, and the owner disregarded this: to just appreciate our predicament to ask the owner of Las Baulinas Nurser not to sell tropical Milkweed, or milkweed in this coastal community.School children ask:Please help ensure pollinators survive and DON'T SELL MILKWEED in Coastal Communities. Milkweed grown near the coast disrupts the Monarch Butterflies migration and ability to survive- as a species. Why? I did  buy her milkweed, after the owner assured me it was the native kind, (not tropical), handing me a pamphlet, only to find out later it was the wrong type, derails the Monarchs flight patterns, our butterflies are dying in droves. Butterflies need us to care  enough and care more! The problem: b/c well meaning people think if we are planting milkweed close to the coast we are doing good right?  Come to find out butterflies are not leaving for hotter climates so ultimately the milk weed disrupts their migration and they don't survive when they winter here. The local Bay Area Community have been reaching out to Las Baulinas to ask them to be more sensitive, to not just appear to care about butterflies!  But not sell milkweed- which disrupts the Monarch's migration, Las Baulinas poses as a permaculture friendly place, when I asked if I was buying tropical or native milkweed the owner said it was native, and instead I learned later it was tropicl milkweed.I always liked visiting here from up North, but I am disappointed as they are not fully aware how this practice contributes to the dwindling numbers of local butterflies.Please consider if you do shop here to mention this,  and ask her to protect local butterflies like Monarchs,b/c you can make a difference, as they continue to sell this in this coastal community- even after asked!  The kids from the local school visited this place to make it clear to the owner and how important Monarch butterflies are- and we need to respect their habitat.When I asked if the milkweed was the kind that wasn't tropical they assured me that it was the right kind, Mistake One: IT was TROPICAL and not the wild kind.Mistake Two: We are disrupting the butterflies natural habitat, chance of survival  and feeding patterns and cycle by planting this close to the coast.Do not squander the opportunity to make your voice heard.Longevity for our kids, our communities: Day to Day we must face this, be conscious, how we must share nature and not be careless and trample on these little creatures only refuge and home.  Thanks for reading this!

Jacquie was so helpful. I wanted to send a plant as a sympathy gift to someone in Bolinas. I called and spoke to her on the phone. She texted me some very nice suggestions, repotted the plant I selected in a nice pot and delivered it.

Stopped in on a whim and was totally charmed by this little nursery. They have a wonderful selection of plants specifically chosen to thrive in our coastal California climate. If you love to garden be sure to pay a visit when you're in the area!
