Bizarre experience! I used to like this place - though the…read moreprices are high, they have a large selection, and staff were generally friendly. Not today. When arriving, I went to the restroom to pee (I am 67 and have prostate issues, and just wanted to be comfortable while I shopped) and, seeing a sign on both the outside and inside that said "Please keep the door shut - because of A/C" and seeing a lock, I locked the door for privacy (too). There is just urinal and one stall. When I was standing at the urinal there was suddenly the loudest banging on a door I'd ever heard in my life. I thought it must be some kind of emergency so I went, holding my pants up, since I didn't have time to zip them. I opened it, and said "What's up?!" and the young man with dark green Green Thumb shirt - heavyset, brown hair, 30/40-ish? - said very aggressively, yelling, "It's a public restroom, that's why theres more than one stall !!!" and proceeded to wash in the sink for 5 minutes or so (I retreated to the stall to try and finish my business). So... because there' a urinal and a stall you are not supposed to lock it? Why is there a lock? I don't get it... He must have either been having a very very bad day, was mentally unbalanced, or just a ver very angry person. I was in shock. I think it's time to find another nursery...

Great selection for less common plants. Health plants, good prices, quality plants and goods…read more Good customer service. There are knowledable staff on site to assist with questions or purchases. Convenient potting media purchase. Pay the register, drive around to the loading zone and they load the bags into your car for you. I love to come here during bareroot season (Jan-March). They carry a huge variety of tree, berries, grapes, and although the plants cost more than your big box store but there is a huge difference in quality. Large selection of roses in late May, early June. It's fun to shop here. Some of the nursery has uneven ground or loose gravel so be mindful. Make sure to subscribe to their email newsletter for monthlh coupons (as well as garden knowledge and recipes).

But I think I've mastered finding things now, I just go on the HD app, set location to this one and look for the product on app. The app tells you where it's in the store. It helps a lot! I do like their garden area. Their plants and flowers are far cheaper than Green Thumb nursery. And they grow well or just as good too. We've gotten dwarf lemons, limes, and nectarines. They have their best plants in the summer months. You can also find Thai basil to grow, which we can never find elsewhere. One check out at the garden. Check out far left. Have some self check out too. Don't go early morning. It's like crazy busy!

We have been FanDiego believers for some time, first in Palm Springs and now in San Diego. We had…read morepreviously installed a dozen ceiling fans, including five in our most recent home of 11 years, but somehow never got around to replacing the klutzy, heavy old one in our family room, which has a very high ceiling and slanted beams. So one day when we had nothing else to do, we plotted a tour of several fan shops, just to see what was available, but one stop at FanDiego in San Marcos/Escondido and our shopping was complete. Jess was a pleasure to talk to, had exactly the fan we wanted, as well as a family connection to Specialty Electric for the installation, which was a fabulous choice for the work. Easy peasy purchase and easier peasier installation. The new fan looks better, more contemporary, with a bright light if we need it, whisper quiet and a great pusher of air. Happy, happy, joy, joy.

The distressed natural wood, hand-carved doors, subtle turquoise accents, and rustic iron hardware give it so much character without making it feel overly ornate. It is also a very substantial piece with plenty of storage, while still looking elegant enough to become the focal point of the room. I especially love how the natural variations and imperfections in the wood give it an authentic, one-of-a-kind appearance rather than the mass-produced look you see in so much furniture today. Once we decorated around it, the whole room seemed to come together, and actually looks and feels bigger now! This fabulous piece has warmth, master artistry, and a meaningful timelessness about it. We have received many compliments on it, and we are delighted to share with them where we found it- "Rustic Home in San Marcos, it's an amazing experience, you need to go!". This centerpiece exceeded our expectations. Superb artistic craftsmanship, excellent storage, and truly unique character. Highly recommended!
