    Wonderful and quaint nursery located in Pasadena. The quality and price of all the plants were amazing along with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. While checking out the cashier was giving fantastic advice about growing plants and even helped us pack away our plants into our car. We were looking for California native and drought resistant foliage for our backyard and Bellefontaine had the best selection. Stop by and support a local small business. You won't be disappointed!!

    Plenty of parking and cute little entry

    Absolutely adorable and most importantly the staff are smart and reliable. No upsells. Nothing sketchy. Just honest salt of the earth gardeners. SKIP HOME DEPOT. Come here and get a green thumb on your side.

    Selection of indoor plants.

    I'm pretty local to this nursery and have driven past it hundreds of times. I have been looking for air purifying plants for inside my house for about a year now and finally had a day off to actually visit. While Bellefontaine Nursery is not as large as some other nurseries I have visited (San Gabriel Nursery, to be exact) the customer service I received was top notch. Don't be too shy to ask questions. They really do have the answers to gardening questions you might have. They have a good selection of indoor plants, as well as pottery and gardening supplies. They have a large selection of rose bushes and succulents. I left with four plants and two pots but I know that I will be back again for more items.

    Love my new plant! Thank you so much bellefontaine nursery- I will take good care of it!

    My own creation that they put together for me!

    Walked into this cute gem. Service was great and I got what needed! Business has been in family for over 75 years. Has its own parking lot and decent selection of plants. I ended up making my own succulent garden as a graduation gift.

    2 tomato plants, 2 scorpion pepper plants and an aloe vera plant

    Selection and plant quality is pretty bad. So is the customer service, they only seem to engage with regular customers.

    Hello do you sell Pilea pepperomiodes?

    I saw some today 9/25/2021....I was there this morning and almost got one. They only had 5 or 6 next to the checkout.

    Do they sell chili plants here, specifically Thai chili's (birds eye chili)?

    Do they sell eucalyptus?

    Thank you for your inquiry. At this time, we do not have Eucalyptus. They will be available in the Spring. We will carry 'Silver Dollar' and 'Moon Lagoon'. Happy Gardening from the Bellefontaine Nursery Team.

The garden center is immaculately maintained & inventory is plentiful. I was looking to find a professional to recommend a liner for my planter to prevent corrosion, so I may reuse it for the next season for other plantings. Audel suggested a liner that prevents weeds from proliferating as well. It turns out Hubby has a roll in the back of our truck. Bought fertilizer that he recommended & lantana as a draw for pollinators. I googled it & it states I plant it alongside my basil, tomato & marigolds. Parking is dedicated & free. Highly recommend this nursery. Staff are super helpful & cordial. Price-wise, may be equal to home dept or more but the service is topnotch comparably.

Last summer I was searching for a bat flower & one nursery I called, claimed "no one carries them in Southern California because they can't grow here" ... which is laughable considering a lot of stuff isn't native here but still grows ! Anyways yes there was ONE bat flower plant left. It was quite pricey too around $110. I didn't buy since I have my own plant now (which hasn't flowered yet). I was a bit disappointed when I asked for help. I have been looking for an Egg Magnolia (Magnolia liliifera) which are very hard to find ! When asking the employee, she asked a colleague with her hand held radio. She tried a few times, but no response. She then showed me the very small selection of Magnolias they have - which wasn't much at all. I honestly didn't think she knew what an Egg Magnolia is. Really if you work at a nursery you should know more about plants, because from my interaction I could tell it was her first time hearing about this specific plant. If you're looking for rare plants, you may find what you're looking for. The inventory is quite vast & overwhelming. I suppose for an average person not looking for anything specific, this place would be lovely. I purchased an agave celsii nova for my front yard & a white rhino agave - 6" pot for around $80 which is a steal ! I have not seen them that low anywhere.

    We were walking off lunch and wandered in to look at the plants, but didn't have any sort of plan…read moreto buy anything. We had our hands full with leftovers, the boy, and the dog so we were firmly in the browse zone. Then Vik jumps in the mix, calls the boy kiddo and asks if he wants to pet some fish. At this point, I'm intrigued and want to see where this goes, and you know what? He pet some of the koi fish in the pond, I have to admit I haven't seen that before (Kiddo was too scared to try). But THEN he starts telling us about these two plants next to the pond -- Mexican Mint and Sage -- and how their smell repels mosquitos. Kiddo has a huge bug bite on his leg, so the sale was pretty much instant. I planted them in my backyard this afternoon. So, this four star review is a five because of Vic and his kid charming skills. Four stars is because I wish they had a few more native options, but I'll go back because Vik made the experience.

    They were overpriced compared to other landscape estimates I received, but we chose their…read morelandscaping services because they offered a year of interest free credit option. We hired them for a full backyard Reno with full wall of ficus trees, full DG backyard with gravel edges, and a wood fence. Everything was going smoothly with scheduling and communication. When the actual work got started, I noticed the DG was not high-quality. It contained a lot of large rocks. Also, they were not digging out enough dirt before laying the DG. I had to bring that up to the foreman and they did dig up some more dirt before laying the DG. When the work was done, a foreman did a quick walk-through with me and I thought everything looked good. We were told not to walk on the wet DG for a day or two. So two days later when I did a better inspection, I started to notice a lot of shotty work. Specifically with the bender board dividing the gravel and I noticed that they used really small nails for the wooden fence. They did come back a month later to fix the DG because there were areas that were "bouncy", as if not enough DG was laid down. They had to dig up big rocks that were preventing the DG from compacting and they laid more DG on some areas. They also tried to fix some bender board problems, but they did a really horrible job. Three months later, some wood planks on our wood fence start curving and popping up. I called the company because our DG and our fence are under a year warranty. Jake asked me to email him with photos and he said he would call back to schedule a day for repair. Since then I have not heard back from them; they have completely ghosted me. I waited a month then I started calling and no one will pick up the phone. I've left messages and I sent text messages to project manager, Amanda, who was great at communication at first, but now has completely ghosted me as well. Meanwhile, we're still paying monthly for this backyard that is falling apart way too quickly. I'm going to just hire someone to fix the fence before it damages further. I would not recommend them again. Completely overpriced for what you get.
