1. Rainbow Garden
8516 Bandera, (210) 680-2394, rainbowgardens.biz
In business since 1976, Rainbow Gardens dwarfs other nurseries with two sprawling stores offering "10 acres of gardening heaven" between them. Designed to recreate the experience of strolling through a park, the serene Bandera location (the template for the Thousand Oaks outpost) takes botanical browsing to a higher plane with seemingly endless rows of annuals, perennials, fruit trees, grape vines, succulents, rose bushes, fountains, garden statues, you name it. While its snaking trails, butterfly gardens, and calming water-wheel-equipped koi pond (home to a mammoth albino catfish) offer moments of zen, a focus on xeriscape, water-saving, and native plants with encyclopedic signs throughout make Rainbow Gardens a place of enlightenment.
