A Generational Legacy in Horticulture — Reimagined by Elfland Nursery

Elfland Nursery carries forward a legacy deeply rooted in California horticulture. For decades, the Anderson family cultivated exceptional plants and seeds, setting a standard of quality and innovation that inspired generations of growers. From their beginnings at the beloved La Costa Flower Shop & Nursery to the establishment of Anderson’s Seed Co., their passion for plants shaped an enduring tradition of excellence.

That same spirit now lives on through Elfland Nursery, based in the rolling hills of Elfin Forest, California. We’ve taken this strong foundation and infused it with a modern vision — blending time-honored growing practices with today’s curiosity for rare and unusual species. What began as a wholesale seed operation has evolved into a curated collection of unique succulents, desert plants, and botanical treasures available directly to plant lovers and collectors.

At Elfland, we honor the past while embracing the future. Our team continues to grow many of the same trusted species first popularized under the Anderson name — from Schefflera arboricola to distinctive ornamental selections like Asparagus meyerii and Chamaedorea metallica — while introducing new rare and seed-grown varieties from around the world. Every plant reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and beauty.

We invite you to grow with us as we write the next chapter in this horticultural story — one that celebrates the artistry of plants, nurtured here in Elfin Forest, California.
