Also a huge nursery in Guadalupe Valley, in town by the north end of the bridge.
Another good one in San Antonio de Las Minas with a very cool restaurant but, you'll need directions from any one of the businesses on the highway.
If you're lost, these places are on the road to Tecate from Ensenada.

Regardless of which one you are lost and still looking for, ask for El Vivero.

Nursey in San Antonio las Minas
I don't know the the of the nursery but the restaurant name is La Hacienda. Take the road to Tacate (Hwy3) over the hill to the first little town. I
think it's Los Cerritos, apx. 8 or nine miles from the beginning of Hwy 3 .The road is a small road to the right, there is a sign to La Hesanda all
so on the right. Go over the 1 lane bridge to the second stop sign (it a 4 way). Turn left, you'll cross a creek bed and it's on the right.The food
is very good and all the plants that I have picked up are doing fine.

Diana - something to think about. I don't know how close you are to the ocean, but most fruit trees don't do well in salt air. It might be good to
ask for advice at the vivero about which trees do well in your area, or ask your neighbors before you purchase. Just a thought.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

stuff!! check it out - - also just north of ensenada there is a ranch that sells arboles de naranja - orange trees- look for it - Marv

Oh this is going to be so much fun when Tim and I finally plant our roots in Bahia Asuncion.
What type of flowers and trees and plants to grow. Not ever living near the salt water I will have ooddles of questions.
Can't wait. Diana you must be having a total riot.

Diane Bahia Asuncion is about 1/2 way down the peninsula on the Pacific side.
I would think a 1/2 mile is plenty close to the ocean.
Like right now I am wondering if I can grow an avocado tree there. Just finished watching a video on the reciepe thread.

guess i could go to the nursery that is so close to the nursery, and if the trees grow there, then they will grow in my back yard.
i had some avocado/lime pie and it was sooo good!

Down here at Rancho la Aguja (Pacific Baja Sur, west of la Paz) we have a large garden a mile away from the sea - and salt is a huge problem - those
onshore breezes are laden with the stuff.
Avacados seem especially sensitive - we now have 5 growing nicely, but it took at least 5 tries for each tree. Same with mangos - you just have to
keep replanting until one takes.
The good news is that even in this sandy desert soil (we get 4 inches of rain in a a good year) - just about everything grows well - just add water
and stand back!
Despite all attempts over 6 years - cannot grow eggplant or lavender . . . not really catastrophic.
