Sonoma Horticultural Nursery is now Hidden Forest Nursery.

Shady Plants for Shady Places

Welcome to the North Bay's premiere shade-loving plant nursery.

We specialize in offering a vast and richly diverse selection of shade-loving plants, trees, and shrubs, Rhododendrons, and Azaleas, as well as rare and unusual plants.
We also have a growing collection of garden vegetables
and long-lived and unusual edibles.

 

Stay Sane While Staying Safe

Extended trail walking hours during shelter-in-place.

As a community resource during Sonoma County's shelter-in-place order, our forest sanctuary is open for neighbors and friends to stroll through the fresh, shade-cooled air of our 8-acre magical forest. Two miles of wooded trails wind along serene botanical gardens and enchanted forest features, such as walking bridges, a sparkling stream, tranquil pond, stone fountains, gazebo,
and other hidden treasures.
 

Forest trail hours: 9am to 5pm, daily.
Face masks and social distancing protocols required.
Personal hand sanitizer and water bottle recommended.
