Joe Cordova, an Encinitas resident, has been in the nursery business since the '70s. He opened Cordova Gardens in 1998. Today the nursery offers one of the largest inventories of fountains, pottery and succulent and tropical plants in the county. Most of the plants are grown at a local greenhouse also located in Encinitas, just a few blocks away from the gardens. Cordova Gardens provides an outdoor shopping experience with a few large greenhouse structures that shade plants from the sun. Some of the fountains also flow with water, adding to the calm and quiet atmosphere.
Petroglyph is a hands-on art studio for all ages. Established in 1993 with four locations across Northern California- including this one in the heart of downtown Los Gatos, Petroglyph carries hundreds of different bisque ceramic pieces such as dinnerware, vases and figurines. All pieces come in white which allows customers to get creative with the store's selection of paint, brushes, stencils and stamps. After decorating, pottery is temporarily given back to the staff who clean it, glaze it and fire it in the kiln. In a few days customers are able to return to the store and pick up the finished product to proudly display or give as a gift. Reservations are accepted and the studio is available for private parties.
A visit to Jackalope Pottery feels like a mini-vacation. Giant Buddha statues greet visitors at each entrance gate to the large outdoor show space. On the grounds, numerous outdoor, pottery-based fountains and water features are on display. The gurgle of water they create provides a relaxed shopping atmosphere. Ornamental pots, statues and even wind chimes are available for sale here. A small indoor showroom contains a complementary selection of home décor items.
