We Are Here To Serve You

Our Focus

The Plant Foundry Nursery & Store is a woman-owned urban nursery in Sacramento’s Triangle Shopping District in North Oak Park. Our focus is organic plants and supplies, edible gardening, gifts, greeting cards, books and decor, Fermob outdoor furniture, statuary and pottery, popular and unusual landscape plants, houseplants, water-wise plants and California natives.

Vision

The Plant Foundry is a place where the art and science of gardening work together; a place where city living hasn’t forgotten country life. The Plant Foundry recognizes that no matter how close to the urban core one lives– plants, people and wildlife are all part of the same community.

We are committed to sharing our love and knowledge of plants with people at all stages of the gardening journey, from complete beginner to avid gardener. We may be trained horticulturists with demanding standards, but we haven’t forgotten the simple joy of sprouting our first sunflower in a Dixie cup. Or keeping our first apartment patio plant alive. Or sharing a laugh and a cutting or two with a neighbor over the back fence.

Gardening means different things to different people. For some, it’s about the satisfaction of doing good, hard, sweaty work. For others, “to garden” means parking it in a lounge chair while lifting nothing but a book and a beverage.

At times, the garden is a place of community and celebration. It’s also a place where our cats lounge and our dogs reign supreme; or maybe the other way around.

At The Plant Foundry, we want to share the joy gardening brings to us, and we want to help you find bliss in your own garden.
