Finding retreat in the middle of the city can be quite a challenge to say the least, but every time I have walked in to Rainforest Flora on bustling Hawthorne Boulevard, I am instantly taken a million miles away. The air even feels different, with a lovely mist cascading down on you, as you meander through the winding paths of exquisite plant life, rocks and ponds.

Offering a tremendous variety of Bromeliads, Air Plants and Staghorn Ferns, this incredible self sufficient nursery, also provides a unique habitat for several forms of wild life (koi, frogs and humming birds to name a few).

Even though the hum of the constant traffic outside is somewhat noticeable from the inside of this greenhouse (they get a nice breeze from the street side and often have the entire front open with just netting as a barrier), I still always think to myself what an amazing place it would be to receive a massage, or have a spa party amongst the waterfalls.

If you are trying to create a sacred space within your home or treatment room, I highly suggest you visit Rainforest Flora. The many different species and hybrids they have available can lend themselves perfectly to a variety of environments.

For more information visit their website at www.rainforestflora.com

Better yet, go visit them in person at:

19121 Hawthorne Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90503
(310) 370-8044

They are open Monday through Saturday from 9 to 5 PST
