About Us

Welcome to the Jurassic Garden. We are a family-owned rare plant nursery located in North Hollywood, California. We specialize in rare living-fossil plants called cycads, as well as other rare and drought-tolerant plants like aloes and strelitzias. The plant you purchase from us is likely one we have grown from seed.

Our 2 acre patch of green in Los Angeles is home to cats, rabbits, chickens, a family of possums and 5 humans who try to grow your plants with love and care. While we are a Licensed and Certified State of California Nursery, just like the big operations, we like to think that every plant you get from us comes with a small bit of the love we put into it.

While Southern California temperatures are generally mild, your plant will be tougher than you may think. Here in the San Fernando Valley, winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing, and summer temps reach over 100, so your outdoor-raised hardy plant has been grown to withstand tough times.

We guarantee our plants, so you can buy with confidence. All plants have been inspected and certified by a State of California Agriculture Official to be healthy and free of any infestation or disease. We hope you will consider this important distinction if you are looking at different options for purchasing a cycad or succulent.

Thank you for considering us, and we appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you.

We operate by appointment, so please call us at 818-759-0600, or email info@cycads.com to schedule your visit.
