Dig Gardens - Santa Cruz, California

ADORABLE plant shop! So many different items to buy besides plants! The outside area is so relaxing I could’ve just sat there for hours & read a book. I liked how you could build your own plants there & take them home. Such a fun & cool activity. The plants were very well taken care of & ready for new homes. Can’t wait to come back & build my own set to bring home 😍

Beautiful garden/plant nursery with so many amazing variety of beautiful and unique plants! Smells so nice inside the gift shop area (right of front entrance) where they sell candles & such. The small section of bonsai plants (in the outdoor nursery) were lovely to see and the huge wall assortment of live succulents was spectacular, like living artwork.

Cashier girls were inattentive but the smiling lady who asked if she could help us was just wonderful! We'll definitely be back.

We were driving up Water st when we saw Dig gardens and decided to stop and go inside. From outside it seems like a small store but once you go in you'll realize it is a pretty good size garden store.
They carry good selection hard to find plants,candles, kitchen stuff, patio furniture, fountains, etc. Their prices are on the more expensive side but they do carry higher quality inventory.
The personnel were very nice and knowledgeable and would explain exactly how to take care of any plants.
All in all if you're looking for something more unique for your house or patio stop by here and you may just find what you were looking for.

I visited the Dig Gardens Water St. location on Monday, 2/10, eager to find something special for a loved one’s birthday. I was one of the first customers to walk in at 10 a.m., but instead of a warm welcome, I was immediately met with a cold, judgmental look. One of the two girls working asked if I needed help, to which I politely replied, "I'm just looking for now, thank you." But even after that, I was met with the same disapproving gaze. As I wandered through the store, trying to find the perfect gift, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being scrutinized, almost as if I didn’t belong. It was unsettling and uncomfortable—like I was being watched, not with care, but with judgment, as though I was somehow an inconvenience just for browsing. It’s disheartening to think that something as simple as shopping could leave me feeling so out of place.

Staff wasn't super friendly and didn't seem interested in helping, which prompted me to go elsewhere. It's interesting to see other people share similar experiences which is why I'm commenting. It might be a good place if you know exactly what you're doing and looking for, but not if you don't have a lot of knowledge and require some help.

🥰🥰🥰 love, love, love Dig Santa Cruz! I had been wanting to visit for awhile and it just hasn't happened yet now I'm kicking myself. This is large, well stocked and has so much to choose from! Definitely planning a trip back now that I've moved

They have gifts, books, plants off every type

It's a beautiful shop with indoor and outdoor sections. It has a great variety of plants, especially succulents! All of them are very healthy. You have to see their beautiful succulent wall! I'm writing this post during the pandemic, and they limit the number of people in the store so it won't be crowded and you and them feel safe. It looks like there is a make your-own-terrarium setup in the back, but it was closed during this time. It looked awesome though! I picked up a few beautiful succulents and some pots. I would definitely come again!
