About

Larch Cottage Nurseries is widely loved as a magical, fairy-tale spot for plant lovers. Visitors adore the extensive variety of plants and the unique garden setting. The on-site cafe, Casa Verde, is a popular stop, though some find it pricey. While most have a great time, there are recurring complaints about online order quality and a strict no-dog policy that frustrates some regulars.
