Pompei Nursery is a family owned business in Oakley, located in the central valley of northern California. They offer free gardening classes the fourth Saturday of every month at 10am, led by their own master gardeners and invited speakers. They normally give out coupons for up to 20% off at the end of the class. Topics have included low-water maintenance gardening, wildflowers, hydroponics, care of different types of plants, and much more. A charming place to visit, Pompei Nursery is so beautifully designed that they also offer wedding site and special event rentals. Their entryway is through a stone arch that leads to a floral patio. They have thousands of blooming plants and trees throughout the site, and helpful experts to help you with plant selection and care. The checkout counter at the front of the store is a small gift shop. They have an amazing variety of garden hobby supplies, as well as unique local artisan crafts for sale. If you know a gardener, you’ll no doubt find many items they would cherish as gifts! The staff is expert in helping you to find greenery that will thrive in your particular environment, whether you need plants for sunny or shady spots. They offer detailed advice for individualized plant care. In all, I have bought hundreds of plants from Pompei Nursery. Their selection is outstanding, and I cannot remember a single plant that perished (and, I am no green thumb). You will not be disappointed with your purchases – only with the dwindling amount of bare garden space you have left to plant! You won’t be disappointed with how easy it is to use globalYP.net, a searchable online directory.
