Looking for a good plants nursery without feeling overwhelmed at all the choices or lack of help?…read moreGo to Lucky Plants in Hermosa Beach. Family-owned and the owners are so nice, knowledgeable, helpful. The nursery is medium sized so not overwhelming. I went to them twice in the last 3 months. Today I showed them pictures of what I'm looking for and the size of pots I have and how little caretaking I want to do (not exactly a green thumb here )and the lady owner was wonderful in making recommendations and caretaking instructions. The only thing is the front of nursery parking can be scant so you might need to park down the street & walk a little or push the carrying cart to your car after purchase (but they have workers to help you). Here's a pic of the final potted results.

This place had everything I hoped to find! They've been in Torrance for a year and I'm really happy…read morethey relocated here from Manhattan. I originally came in just to look for some decorative pots but spent most of my time admiring their entire selection of plants. First off, the pots. They have a LOT. They probably have 1/4th of their space dedicated to these products. They have a wide variety of colors, sizes, and materials. I've never seen a wider selection in my years of indoor gardening. As for the pricing, I'd say they're decently priced. The larger ones certainly ask for a higher price than I imagined but the quality is there and how many times in your life do you buy a big pot? lol Now for the PLANTS! OH MY GOODNESS. It was a dream to see so many amazing plants in one place. They have succulents and large indoor plants as well. The ones that stood out to me (and will one day purchase) are their philodendron white wizards (they had 5-7 of them), alocasia stingrays, alocasia frydek, alocasia polly, and alocasia regal shield. They have a variety of monstera and zz plants, if you're into those. If you're looking for a 4-6 inch potted plant, then the pricing is reasonable. The larger ones are priced closer to 50-100 dollars. Not bad if you're good at taking care of plants. If you don't have a green thumb yet, then buy a smaller plant and learn! The service was helpful too. The gentleman who rang me up helped me carry it to my car given I had to carry my kids.

I was greeted as soon as I entered and immediately offered help (I'm not the savviest) They helped me choose plants based on my vision, they even staged them to show me plans for how to plant them, and offered the most competitive price in the South Bay. The pricing was unbelievable - the haul I left with would have easily run me 3-400 at Home Depot - I spent less than $200. They also helped me load my car and lined my trunk so it wouldn't get dirty. These people are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and I cannot recommend them enough. I will be back for all my landscaping from now on. Today was my first time visiting and they have made a lifelong customer of me.

Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend!!!

I would love to leave a positive review but I cannot. I would love to support a local business, but…read morethis was probably my last visit here. I was close by so stopped in to look for some summer things for the garden. Many plants are not cared for --there's dead leaves, roses that need pruning, dead blooms covering plants. Plants and flowers (for the most part) are not being maintained. And like other reviewers mentioned I'm sorry but the customer service is awful. I've been here about four times. Never once has anybody smiled or said hello or looked anything other than pissed off when they ring me up, if I ask a question they turn their head and answer to some other corner of the room. On top of it, their prices do seem excessively high.

By day three, the roses had wilted so dramatically they looked like they'd just come back from Burning Man and needed to "find themselves." For clarity, we did everything properly. Fresh water. Trimmed stems. Clean vase. They were treated better than most houseguests. And yet, here we are. For the price, I expected romance. What I got was a botanical countdown clock. I would genuinely have been better off buying roses at Trader Joe's, and that's not something I say lightly after spending what I did. When you pay premium prices, you assume the flowers will last longer than a long weekend. It's disappointing because the arrangement was lovely and the presentation was great. But at this price point, durability should not be optional. Three days feels less like "Valentine's bouquet" and more like "romantic rental."

Maybe he just got triggered by having a woman disagree with him, but either way, his blatant hostility made me feel uncomfortable doing business with this company. The interaction was unnecessarily antagonistic and did not inspire confidence in their product knowledge or customer service. If industry expertise and professional communication are important to you, you may want to consider other local suppliers.
