The other day, Gregory blogged planting for LA's Mediterranean Climate. Mordigan's Nurseries, on Third Street, just west of Fairfax, a sprawling gardener’s resource, is a great place to start lookiing for those plants you'll need to create a climate-appropriate garden.
LA Store - Third Street: Mordigan Nurseries

A calm oasis, surrounded by the chaos of The Grove and the bustling foot and car traffic on West Third, it's well-stocked with healthy plants, the key to gardening success. Now run by third generation owners, Mark Siebel and his sister, Mary Bambino, there’s an attention to personal service here that you won’t find at Home Depot. They know how to leave you alone to amble among the plants and, then, reappear just as a question forms in your mind. Talk to them about your situation and they’ll take the time to offer suggestions about what to buy and answer your questions about how to care for it. Thinking about keeping your garden pest-free and well-nourished the natural way? Order worm castings and ladybugs here, worms too, a must for easy composting. A selection of pots – from the plain to the kitschy – doesn’t hurt and they have parking, though we suggest getting here early in the morning. Later on, it gets crowded. Oh, and if it doesn’t all fit into your Smart Car, they deliver.

I love just walking around places like that!

It's a good place to start, if you happen to be in the neighborhood and need a plant or two, but there are so many better/cheaper nurseries in LA that if you're going to buy a lot of plants, you might want to head a little further afield.
San Gabriel Nursery, for example, is awesome:

Like many apartment dwellers, I don't have a yard, or even a patio for that matter. I'd like to have a few indoor plants and maybe an herb garden. My biggest problem is potting soil. I can only ever find large bags of it, and usually I only need at most half a bag (usually less) in order to repot my plants. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to find smaller bags of soil, or what I should do with the left overs?

Sometimes nurseries will keep smaller bags of potting soil inside, with their indoor plants. I believe Sunset Nursery (4368 W. Sunset @ Fountain) does this.
