DJ’s Growing Place

DJ’s is a plant-lover’s paradise. We’ve filled our garden with DJ’s plants for years, and unlike the big box nurseries, they offer unusual varietals, and the plants thrive. Staff are incredibly knowledgeable, prices are reasonable, and best of all, DJ’s feels like a real nursery. And it’s right in the middle of Napa. Real plants + plant professionals = happy gardening.

I love this place. I recently visited its new location on Big Ranch Road/​Trancas and purchased a nice variety of perennials and grasses. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with someone (me) who couldn’t make up her mind. Everything is grown on site. The field in which they set up shop is the perfect spot for a nursery; it has both a rural feel to it (there’s even a barn) and is close to other commercial shopping. The owners, Debbie and Curt, could not be friendlier people. Pull a wagon through the nursery and see if it doesn’t lift your spirits!

A great place for native plants and flowers, highly recommended. The owners are very helpful in selecting plants that will work well with your needs and growing environment. They also have great prices! DJ’s Growing Place has recently moved to a new location and they are waiting for their new sign to be installed, so here is a tip for finding them. You enter through the parking lot next to the Food Mill on Trancas and the nursery is located in the back of the complex. Remember to support your local nursery!

We bought peppers and tomatoes from this nursery and all of the grow fantastic. Very healthy plants and highest yield from our whole garden!

Great way to spend some time in a city that seems to be losing itself to tourist dollars. This place is an original but be aware: it’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement. You come for shrub and unless you are a very cold fish, you leave with all sorts of interesting things for your garden.
They focus on perennials and the helpful staff knows what works in our valley. Try asking a clerk at one of the big box stores.

REally the best local nursery, of ALL NAPA COUNTY Curt and Debbie Gore, know their stuff, they grow it all themselves, and they know when, where and how to grow from perennials to veggies in the Napa climate, You are in for a Treat when you visit DJ’s Growing place

This is a really great local spot. I don’t know a lot about planting and gardening but everyone was so nice and ready to help me. They helped me pick out some great plants for an arrangement. I can’t wait to go back and get some veggies! Thank you DJ’s

Recently visited this nursery to spruce up my neglected garden. The selection of plants is amazing and I love that everything is grown on site.
You can’t beat the customer service. I left with multiple selections and new knowledge of plants I previously wouldn’t have considered. Highly recommend them.

I decided that I needed pansies for my mid-​August wedding. I went to Home Depot, who in turn called growers all over Northern California, and I was told that I could not have pansies at my wedding because they were out of season. However, the gal at Home Depot gave me (yes, gave) a bunch of pansy and viola seeds. I went to Dj’s and spoke with Maureen and told her how the pansy represented my mom who has passed and how if there was one way I could have my mom at my wedding with would be via pansies. Maureen then spoke with the owners who agreed to at least try to grow me some pansies and violas using the seeds from Home Depot and some starters that they had. By August 18^th I had about 10 flats of pansies and violas, giving me my dream wedding. Words cannot express how grateful I am to the folks at Dj’s for trying and succeeding in creating what Iovingly call The Pansy Project.

This place is GREAT! I have been there several times ove the years and the staff is always very knowledgable and helpful.

Stopped by yesterday and went home with several hard to find plants, and at good prices too. I need to go back and get the others I couldnt justify buying yesterday (as I have waaayyyy too many already!)
Go check them out!

Debbie and Curt are two of the coolest people that I have ever met! They grow their plants and keep it simple. Debbie has the best knowledge of everything plant wise going on! They have some of their plants up at Oxbow Public Market for sale. You can get all your provisions for that night’s dinner and then buy great plants to plan ahead! Two rocking folks that are keeping the slow food movement going strong! I say 5 thumbs up!

I loved this place! Located on Big Ranch Road, an area once dominated by Christmas Tree Farms, DJ’s Growing Place got its name because it grows what it sells right there on site. Plants are reasonably priced. The people working there are very down-​to-​earth. You’ll have a hard time finding room in the car to take all of the plants you’ll want with you! What do you mean the kids can’t ride on the luggage rack?
