Cricklewood

I've driven by Cricklewood literally hundreds of times over the years, apparently, and yet I had no clue what it was or how charming this place was to walk through. I ended up not buying anything today because I'm just browsing, planning a succulent garden right now, but all their prices I thought were very reasonable compared to some of the other places in town with outrageous markups. There was such a peaceful atmosphere to the place, I have half a mind to show up at 5 am with a thermos of coffee and a lawn chair, enjoy my mornings in the little secret garden vibe they've got going on.

I absolutely love this local nursery!!! A hidden treasure in town for sure! Thanks to my plant and gardening groups. It was posted and recommended by a few members so I decided to check them out. So glad it finally had time to go. They have a great selection of plants, both indoor and outdoor plants. And a variety of succulents and cacti as well. Staff are friendly and helpful. Parking is a bit of a hassle... not very easy to get in and out. They are only open a few days a week and hours are limited but if you do find time to go it is worth it.

I'm so glad I finally stopped into this secret garden - after years and years of passing by.Cricklewood is a true secret garden and total Oasis in the city of Bakersfield. Located on Brundage Road you may never have paid it any attention. Blink and you'll miss it! The parking lot is pretty tight and non-existent but visit during the weekend and you'll have extra space in front of the print-shop that isn't open. You can always parking in the side street too.When we arrived it was pretty busy. The garden is small, narrow, and tight in many places which can be uncomfortable for some and may be difficult for children or those with mobility issues. In fact, wheelchair accessibility may be rough since much of the ground is uneven. Just take note!We were able to meander around and check everything out. Everywhere you looked there was something to see. There was even a large greenhouse with tons of indoor plants. Need a special planter? This is your spot! They had tons of unique planters in all shapes and sizes. All with really great prices that rival any big box store.Inside their gift shop is like a transport back into time. Everything about it is cozy and inviting. I could have easily made myself at home in their comfy chairs with a cup of tea and a good book.I was able to purchase a gorgeous bromeliad for my mother-in-law on for Mother's Day and will definitely be returning to explore more. Everything about this place fuels my soul and is an instant serotonin boost.

This nursery is wonderful and has such a unique vibe. It is incredibly charming!The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. Most importantly, the plants are very well cared for. As a plant mama, I know their prices may be a little bit more than if you were to buy from bigger named places like Lowe's and Home Depot but quality is very important! Support small businesses if you can and shop local. Follow their Instagram for updates! They are active on their account and post often on their stories when they restock. Heads up: If you are using google maps to get here, slow down a little as you approach or you might miss the small lot. I didn't and definitely bumped my tire on the sidewalk.

I normally would give it 5 stars. I've been going here for almost 2 years now and never had a issue until today. I Miss the sweet girls that used to be in there and didn't make rude comments and actuallyhelped you. I'm buying the plant I like of course im going to look through them and find what I want. If you are worried about the plants being so close together and them breaking them spread them out! Sad because I don't think I'll be going back.

I needed some new plants to spruce up the vibe in my room and I came across the most wonderful thing, this place is definitely worth coming to if you're In need of a simple tree or a beautiful flower, also a cute date idea!

This place is just MAGICAL. A little fairy oasis tucked in our town off of Brundage. I find myself wandering throughout the entire shop every time I come in. One of my favorite places to be is the green house, where they keep all the indoor house plants! The room is walled with translucent green paneling, making the room glow green under the sun. There are also little stone paths the wind around water fountains! This place is so whimsical! Their plant selection is different every time, but I always find something new here. Last time I stopped by, I impulse bought a fish bone succulent, and a hoya obovata! Anyone who loves cottage core should make the trip to this place! The only thing I wish, was that they were open more days of the week!

Fabulous place! I haven't been there in years as we moved away, but my recent visit was as good or better than I remember. A five star business, for sure. Friendly and helpful staff too!

I had heard about this place from multiple people so I finally decided to go for a drive with my daughter. O-M-G!! I loved everything about this nursery. The plants are in great condition and they have a wide variety of them in their greenhouse.

The two ladies that work here are very calm and collected ladies. They have been here for over two decades and i can say they've been doing a great job. This place is so lovely. I went on a rainy day and i felt like it wasn't even in Bakersfield but in a forest ! I got 4 beautiful plants for not too bad of a price. Most things are VERY pricey but if you look around hard enough you will find great deal. Even comes with a displayed house which was quite cool.
