You've probably never seen a stranger, or more entertaining assemblage of goods than you’ll find at Oceano Nursery. This place is wild, so wild that dinosaurs roam the grounds. So do elephants, giraffes and sharks, huge scrap-metal creatures that sometimes spout water as bizarre garden fountains. These rusted creations share space not just with trees and plants, but with stuff like architectural fragments, wagon wheels, woodcarvings, recycled glass rocks, whimsical sculptures, funky ceramics, aquarium supplies and taxidermy fish in this rambling junk yard/antique store/ gift shop/nursery. This is pack-rat heaven, the place to buy signs that say things like Still Plays With Boats and the perfect place to stock up on stuff that will make people say, "Where on earth did you get that?" They also propagate many of their own plant specimens so even the greenery is unique.

Oceano Nursery, 1311 Paso Robles St, Oceano, CA 93445; [805 489 4456]; fax: [805 773 0017]. Directions: The nursery is located on Hwy. 1 in Oceano, south of San Luis Obispo
