In Ventura, California, Fiddle & Fern has become a plant shop where community and passion meet. Known as a go-to plant shop Ventura CA, it attracts both locals and visitors.

It was started by Patricia, who was taught to love plants as a child by her mother, and that spark remained alive in her life while making personalized arrangements for friends and keeping a home garden herself. After 2020, Patricia realized it was time to take a leap and start a plant shop in her hometown

It's located within Plum Gift Boutique at 466 East Main Street. Fiddle & Fern was a locals' favorite right off the bat. Anyone visiting Ventura stops by to find new plants, get a consultation, or simply soak in this serene atmosphere. You can learn about their history on the About page.

A Store That Calms and INSPIRES

Once you enter, everything feels different at Fiddle & Fern. The shop has a peaceful atmosphere that relaxes guests and makes them want to stick around. It's a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that openly supports LGBTQ and BLM efforts

It's a basic philosophy: plants will bring a living presence to any setting, and if humans treat them nicely, they will be calm and happy too. Most people leave with a new plant. Most people leave with ideas, confidence, and a suggestion to relax and enjoy having something living within a home.

Curated Finds for Every Home

Patricia prides herself on selecting everything in the store. In the product section, you will find:

  • A large variety of beginner-friendly and seasoned plant parents’ houseplants Ventura customers love.”
  • Pots, baskets, and hangers that will stylishly adorn any room
  • Art, presents, and décor made locally, featuring women’s and minority-owned enterprises and local gifts Ventura shoppers appreciate.
  • Air plants, aquatic plants, and attention-catching special products

Products are handpicked carefully, and only if Patricia herself is interested in bringing it home does it appear on shelves. That mindset creates an intimate and genuine vibe within the store.


Services That Maintain Healthy Plants

Fiddle & Fern doesn't merely peddle plants. They offer plant services so that every plant will be a success once it has exited their store. Every plant is inspected, cleaned, and fertilized before going home to its new owner. It demonstrates attention to detail and confidence that customers receive, knowing that their plant has been prepared for a successful future.

Moss Amigos: Conversation Starter

Moss Amigos

One of the shop's emphases is showcasing Moss Amigos. These small moss companions will certainly create questions and chuckles. Clients will ask such questions as

  • "Wait, what's this in the jar?"
  • “Oh, it’s alive?!”
  • “It can wear a hat?”

Its playful nature makes Moss Amigos a natural fit within the spirit of Fiddle & Fern. They need little maintenance, come in a size that can go anywhere, and are a joy to give. To some individuals, a Moss Amigo is that first-ever plant of theirs. To others who already have a home full of greenery, they are a happy addition that they can always make room for.

Fiddle & Fern has become part of Ventura's artistic scene as well, joining in on ArtWalk and working alongside artists locally. That's part of what makes the store more than retail.

Beyond plants, the shop is also a favorite stop for local gifts Ventura visitors seek out during community events.
