Known as an historic, beachside resort town, SaMo has been home to surf and skate culture, healthy living and some of the most progressive attitudes in CA. Today, it’s been reborn as an important tech and cultural hub dubbed “Silicon Beach” where art, entertainment, fashion, food, old and new fuse into a beachy-meets-metropolitan vibe.
The best (old school) place to get resource material and inspiration for any design project you're working on.
Lovely, locally-owned neighborhood garden center and nursery serving Santa Monica for over 70 years. It’s fun to walk around looking at the seasonal plants, succulents, trees, perennials, orchids, bamboo and largest selection of seeds in Southern California. The staff is helpful and friendly and will teach you how to repot a plant or give you advice on how NOT to kill one of their gorgeous orchids. Oh, and there are cool buddhas popping out wherever you look.
