Sunflower Farms — Attraction in Torrance

The party today was a blast, and I made great new friends. Christi and Russell are my plant gods—the ultimate go-to for any plant questions! Right at the entrance, you’ll see gorgeous, colorful pumpkins that they’ve grown themselves. Super impressive!

This nursery feels so natural, with every plant grown outdoors from scratch. You can really see the growth process—some plants grow tall, others short, just like raising kids. With a little effort, every plant I take home has the potential to thrive just like theirs.

It’s such a contrast to greenhouse-grown plants that rely on machines and chemicals. While those might look great at first, they lose their appeal quickly, and I can never seem to get them back to their original state, which takes away from the joy of gardening.

I highly recommend visiting. You’ll get to see nature up close, every plant’s journey. The thoughtful decorations, the joy of coffee trees full of fruit, persimmons and pomegranates in season, the kindness of Christi, Russell, all the staff, and the stunning, pink-blossomed century-old tree—it’s...

I don’t usually write reviews. But today I visited Sunflower Farms for the first time and I was impressed beyond expectation. Sunflower Farms has the most genuine down to earth and helpful staff of any plant nursery I’ve visited in The South Bay. Apparently the owner, Russell, knows how to read people because his staff is the best in the biz. They’re approachable and knowledgeable and they genuinely want to make human connections with their customers. I felt valued as a person from the interactions I experienced at Sunflower Farms today.

The environment is also setup very cool, kinda like a labyrinth of plant varieties, which makes the experience more fun than the typical nursery. I found myself wanting to get lost instead of shopping with purpose. That said, the place is substantial in size, which translates to a LOT of plants (they’ll probably have what you’re looking for or something better).

Bottom line: I’ll definitely return again and I hope my review will encourage others to visit...

This is a great place. good people and beautiful plants. The reason for the one star is because I bought an avocado tree about 4 weeks ago.. during the first week I had it the plant looked sad and droopy. Soil was moist so it wasn't thisty.. after that it was downhill.. I found out the root ball was completely rotten and the soil smelled like sewer.. this type of rot takes a long time to happen even if I had kept the entire plant submerged underwater it would not have rot that fast.. the rot had been going on for a long time.. so I called them and they said that all sales are final.. they sold me a dying tree for 60$. Most likely I...
