Site Condition: The collection of oddities has been "growing" in the San Fernando Valley since 1976, when owner David Bernstein raised a greenhouse full of succulents and foliage plants for a high school science project. He became fascinated with the desert flora and made it his business to produce them. California Nursery Specialties is now one of the largest of its kind in the Los Angeles area. The Reseda facility is supplemented with production from his other greenhouses in northern San Diego County.
