Jamie and Stacy: I can't belive how far you two have come since I met you there a couple or weeks after MaryLou's passing in what was nothing but a dirt lot and a few of the buildings that were left from Heard's. I know that Mary, as I called her, would have been very pleased to see that someone took over the idea of it. A place were people of like minds and hearts could go for that type of plants, inspiration,and yes, sometimes sanctuary. There are a lot of things that people don't know about her, but think they do. Like most people arn't aware of the fact that she tried to sell Heard's, but there were no takers, and her daughter wasn't interested. So she was forced to sell off the inventory and clsoe the doors forever. I also remember you and her working feverously on plans to open something similar in the Tustin area before she left. I know she was pleased with your inspired ambition, which was her attempted influece for everyone she met in one area of thier life or another. So this seem to have worked out for everyone. Keep your chins up, and continue to find joy on your garden paths. ... Her dear frinend, John.

I am sometimes so frustrated wiith the ordinary stock that Armstrong's carries and tend to do a lot of mailorder. I recently discovered Annie's Annuals and it was only by doing a websearch for them that I found you. Had no idea you were just around the corner! I loved my first visit and purchases. I can only imagine how beautiful your nursery is when it's in full bloom.

Wow! What an amazing experience I had today during my lunch break! Thank you Jaime for letting me unwind and photograph the lovely flowers and gardens. I went back to work refreshed and energized. It was definitely the Zen moment I needed in my hectic workday! I also have to say my neighbors were quite envious of the beautiful arrangement I brought back home with me! It sits in the front yard so I can see it when I come home from work and remember my time in your peaceful hideaway! I will be back, this I know!

So excited to discover you are on the land Mary Lou Heard had used for her Heard's Country Garden. Heartached when she died and her work was stripped away. Now it rejoices to see you have re-established a similar "retreat for our souls". Can't wait to come back for a visit. Have told gardening friends in your area about you so they can share in the fun also.

For years this has been my happy place. No matter how I feel when I cross that first arch, I know my spirit will be restored by the time I leave. From the sound of the gravel under my feet to the seranade of the birds above. From your unique and high quality selection of flowers in their youngest stages, to the natives, shrubs and trees. So much beauty to see, smell and imagine. It is all goooood. You have taught me to be the gardener, and create the garden that I only dreamed of. I have been told by passers by that I have the prettiest garden in the neighborhood, and that makes me so proud. Thanks to you!

Oh, the nursery is like Chocolate for me. I come to experience it when I'm happy, sad or just want to create. Luckily the gorgeous flowers are calorie free. The expert and friendly owners help me make the perfect choices for what I want to express in my garden. Thank you for being there, I always leave uplifted and my yard prettier. Smiles to all, Leslie
