Look who we found hanging out among the plants at Hyla Nursery!

This little lady certainly knew how to pose for the camera! 📸

One of the best things about spending every day surrounded by plants is seeing all the other life that finds its way into the garden center. 💜 Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, lizards, and cool little creatures like this are a beautiful reminder that when we grow a garden, we’re creating a habitat for so much more than just plants.

A beautiful, peaceful morning at Hyla Nursery! 🌿🎨

It was a lovely morning at the nursery as a group of local artists settled in among the plants, birds, bees, and gentle breezes to sketch and create. There’s something wonderful about slowing down, spending time outdoors, and enjoying a little creativity among the plants. Thank you for spending your morning with us! 💚

Hyla Nursery is more than a place to shop for plants—it’s a place for community. 🌱 We want you to feel welcome to linger a while. Set up a chair and sketch, wander through the nursery, or bring a friend and enjoy your morning coffee at one of our tables. ☕🌿

Come for the plants, stay for the peaceful moments. 💚

I've been given an amazing opportunity to speak at the Ridgecrest Public Library about one of my favorite things... plants! 🌿📚

I'd love for you to stop by, support our library's programming, and spend an hour talking landscaping with me.

We'll cover topics like:
🌱 Choosing plants that thrive in our unique desert climate
💧 Water-wise gardening and irrigation tips
🌞 Overcoming the challenges of gardening in Ridgecrest
🌳 Creating beautiful landscapes that can handle our heat

If you know me, you know that when I'm not out in the garden, I usually have my nose in a book. I honestly can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than being surrounded by books while talking about plants. That's my little slice of heaven.

Whether you're a seasoned gardener, just getting started, or simply curious about what grows well here, I'd love to see you there. Come say hello, ask questions, and let's grow together! 🌼

Calling all my fellow garden friends! 🌿🌞

Did you know the Maturango Museum has a Garden Club? One of the activities they hold is a monthly clean-up to help keep the museum grounds looking their best for our community and guests.

If you’re looking for a fun group of people to hang out with while simultaneously giving back to the community, getting some physical movement in, and soaking up your dose of Vitamin D, the Garden Club at the Maturango Museum is definitely your vibe. 💚🌵

Come dig in with us and help make a difference — one garden bed at a time!

Help us keep the Maturango Museum grounds beautiful! Make a difference by volunteering for our Garden Clean-Up Day. We’d love to see you there!

On windy days, we take advantage of the lighter traffic — both people and bees — to tackle gardening tasks that are a little harder to accomplish when the flowers are buzzing with pollinators. 🌬️🐝

When the wind picks up, most bees stay tucked away, giving us the perfect opportunity to sneak in and deadhead some of their favorite blooms, like Salvia ‘Blue By You’ in our raised bed pollinator garden.

This beautiful perennial is thriving in full sun and has reached its mature size of nearly 2 feet by 2 feet. Even better, it’s a repeat bloomer that keeps putting on a show through spring and summer with regular deadheading. 🌿💜

Now enjoying its second spring in the garden, Salvia ‘Blue By You’ continues to be a favorite for both pollinators and visitors alike!

Just when I think I couldn’t love our library and its amazing staff any more, they go and create a seed library! Our little corner of the world is something special 💚

We want to invite you to stop by and check out our Seed Library! We have some seeds with info sheets available and some donated seeds in original packaging and not in original packaging.

We ask that you limit to 5 envelopes per day per person.

Please bring donated seeds to staff so that we can count how many envelopes we put out. (We need to submit how many envelopes are taken at the end of every month.)
