The Meadow-Garden Center — Local services in Placerville

The Meadow is an awesome place. It is a garden center, plant nursery, and a yoga studio right in Placerville, CA. Beautiful, rustic property with simple, peaceful charm. It is owned by a local woman entrepreneur.

The garden center building is compact and filled with practical functional items and fun decorative items (perfect gift items). Some of the items are heirloom and organic flower & vegetable seeds, seed potatoes, plant food, gardening tools, houseplants, pots/planters, garden art, and wind chimes... just to name a few. Outside is the nursery with native flowers and plants, fruit trees, and vegetable plants. The outdoor area is compact. The plants are labeled to indicate if they are deer resistant which is important in these parts. Deer is abundant in these parts, and they have an appetite. The nursery inventory is thoughtfully laid out.

Towards the back of the outside nursery is where the yoga studio is located. In addition to the yoga studio, there is a concrete patio with a view of the nursery below . That is where the outdoor yoga classes are held. They offer instruction in various types of yoga. The class schedule and pricing is posted on their website. Take a peek, pricing averages $15 a class and 10 class purchase is $120.

The owner recently opened a cafe on the property. Nourish Cafe serves up cold pressed juices, fresh fruit smoothies, artisanal coffee, nourishing soups, and vibrant salads.

It was love at first sight when I discovered this hidden gem. They've created such a beautiful environment with incredible energy. I could feel the love and light that exuded when I entered "The Meadow." The chakra clearing full moon workshop was an experience like I've never had and I've tried quite a few. The instructors are the real deal- the expertise of this instructor was unmatched. I plan to sign up for the month of classes and will absolutely be attending more of their workshops. Especially excited for the retreats they're planning to offer in May. I'm incredibly thankful to have found this magickal place, so please, do invest in yourself and make a visit. What a...

This studio is such a warm, cozy, and welcoming environment. As a beginner to yoga I was intimidated to try a class but the instructors are caring and supportive. They have a radiant energy that leaves you feeling relaxed and joyful after every class and conversation. I even had my neurodivergent children try their kid yoga class and it was phenomenal. My 4 yr old was engaged and came out relaxed and ready to go back! 1000/10 recommend this place to anyone interesting in trying yoga, pilates, or getting into your own spiritual practice. Whether you’re a resident or someone passing through, check it out! They even have an attached...
