Downtown Ventura’s new garden center

A full-service garden center is returning to Downtown Ventura in March at the former Oasis location on Palm Street.  With a focus on sustainability, drought-tolerance and organics, A Smart Garden will offer monthly gardening classes, a staff of gardening experts, organic herbs/vegetables/fertilizers/soils/seeds, demonstration gardens and more.

A Smart Garden will have an official Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Monday, March 20th, the first day of Spring, from 4-5:30pm.  Their grand opening will take place on Saturday, March 25th from 8am – 5pm.  There will be tours of the nursery, hourly raffles, free giveaways and light refreshments at both events.  Both events are free to attend and the public is invited.

A Smart Garden was founded in 2015 as a residential landscape design firm based in Ventura County that assisted homeowners in creating drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, sustainable gardens.  A Smart Garden owner Cari Vega’s career in horticulture has spanned almost 30 years in floral design, interior landscaping, landscape design/consultation/maintenance, and teaching a wide range of gardening classes.
