The Secret Garden - Elk Grove, California

I recently visited Secret Garden with high hopes, but I was deeply disappointed by the state of many of the plants. Unfortunately, it seems that several of them have been neglected, showing signs of severe distress. Many leaves were brown, dry, and withered, indicating a lack of proper care and watering. It's disheartening to see such beautiful plants being poorly maintained.

A garden should be a place of beauty and vitality, but these uncared-for plants really took away from the overall experience. I hope the management addresses this issue soon because it truly affects the ambiance and the quality of what could be a lovely place.

Well maintained and staffed, family owned business off Sheldon exit in Elk Grove, I've never had such a fruitful experience as this. Friendly, helpful staff, a broad affordable selection of inside plants, various sun needs plants, beautiful pots, pond plants, bonsai, sculpture fountain and tropical plants. My new favorite spot ♥️ A lovely spot to walk around with my nephew. Public bathroom and carts for convenience with child seat! I love the selection of native plants and of all the places I've bought plants, had the best success rate with plants from here ❤️

We've been coming here for the last few years. Great selection of succulents, house plants, and pottery (including talavera)! Buy for yourself or find the perfect gift for your fellow plant lovers. They are also very dog friendly and notice when I do not bring my pup (usually because it is too hot outside).

I have loved shopping here, because the selection of plants and pots is excellent, but I just took my first class here last month. The room in the back had everything we needed, and it was taught so well. I learned a lot about mosaics and it makes me want to learn more.
The prices are worth it!
There's encouragement to be creative, but if you feel more comfortable following the example- your work is celebrated too.

Came for the butterfly 🦋 event that I saw on Facebook. I had never been here and glad I found out about it, I'll be back! Bought a discount plant 🪴 and had a great time checking out the place. The person who rang me up was very nice. There was face painting, coffee and ice cream available for purchase as well. Beautiful place with waterfall and chickens too. I'll be back to bring friends and hope to check out their full moon event as well!

I’ve passed by this place many times for many years. I finally went in and I’m glad I did. Their selection is great... many things for potting, landscape and water features. They have a very nice indoor shop for Curial, sundries and gifts. Altogether this is a very nice place with a great layout to walk and enjoy. The staff was welcoming and helpful, as well. I’d definitely suggest this place to my friends and family.

We drove from Vacaville yesterday to visit and see what they had. We returned today with the rest of the family because it was such a wonderful experience. The staff is unbelievably friendly and knowledgeable about the plants they sell and were able to answer my questions about plants that I didn't purchase from them. The selection and careful care of the plants here is unparalleled. We will absolutely be back and purchase more from this lovely family owned business.

Went on 2/22/22. My daughter had lots of fun finding various items that were on sale. It was a Scavenger Hunt! Lots of great indoor plants, planters, air plants, terrariums, decor inside. I drive by this place going to work. It's a gem in the neighborhood. From Hwy 99 south, take Sheldon Exit and stay in the middle lane to go straight. Different and fun things to discover that you won't find at a big garden center (chickens, bonsais, motion activated foundation walk). The staff is friendly too! I'm sure if we had questions they'd help us, but we didn't ask any questions.
