I am in love with this place! It's been on my list for quite sometime and I finally made it and I'm…read moreso glad we did. Lots of variety for indoor and outdoor plants and all your gardening needs. The staff were super helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. I really appreciate that. There's so much to see, I'll have to go back when I have more time. I loved the pot selection from the smallest to the largest and the prices were reasonable too. You might see the shop cat resting or the doggo Enzo excitedly addressing the goats. Oh! Grab a bite onsite or perhaps grab some fresh flowers from the little flower boutique with some good gift giving ideas.

The best place in City Heights and my favorite San Diego nursery! I can be here all day -- and so…read morecan my pup Enzo. First of all, the place is huge. There's so much to see, so bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfy shoes since the ground can be uneven. You'll encounter steps, slopes, and some dirt paths. The parking lot is small and fills up fast, so I like to get there early, especially if I'm doing a big plant haul. It can be tricky loading plants when you're parked far away. What doesn't this place have? There's an onsite bar and grill that's dog‑friendly, has live music, and serves brunch on weekends. There's also a cute boutique flower/gift shop with curated items perfect for any plant lover. They offer free local classes to help educate the community -- I've taken the shrub class, but they have tons of gardening‑related workshops. They have chickens, birds, turtles, and more. They care for and rescue animals, which is amazing. They sell compost, and they have every plant you can imagine, plus a large selection of seeds, pots, tools, beekeeping supplies, and canning equipment. I love that this is a neighborhood, locally owned nursery that truly gives back. They do so much to educate the community and promote sustainability. Please support them and get your next plant baby here. A perfect place for kids and pups!

Plants Por Favor popped up on my Instagram and I was excited to see a local nursery opening up…read more The overall business concept is confusing. Cons: There is no visible sign/name of the business The "shop" hours are not displayed anywhere Odd hours/not normal business hours Pro: I did find the white sage I was looking for and they informed me it was indeed available. The plant was in really good shape compared to other nurseries around town. I suppose I'm worried for this shop. You simply can't expect to thrive as a local "garden center" when locals can't shop during regular business hours. I'm sure there's a reasoning for it all. However, as a native San Diegan and a daughter of a retired professional gardener I do not believe I could shop here again. I'm out.

I love taking a nice long walk throughout the grounds. Entering from the west side of the nursery, you'll find a variety of planter pots- ceramic, clay and plastic.

Meander at will. Ask someone if you need assistance. Grab a low price snack across from the cashier, if you're hungry. Free street parking, walk, bicycle. Top notch customer service.

We had the absolute best experience working with Mishele at Emerald & Ivy for our wedding florals…read more From the very beginning, her communication was clear, responsive, and thoughtful. I shared my Pinterest inspiration board, and she truly brought it to life--creating the most stunning arrangements and bouquets we could have ever imagined. We received countless compliments on our florals throughout the entire wedding day. Every detail felt intentional and beautifully executed. Mishele is incredibly talented, and what really sets her apart is how well she listens and translates your vision into something even better than you pictured. On top of everything, her work is an incredible value for the cost. The quality, creativity, and overall impact of the florals far exceeded our expectations and felt worth every penny. Also the size of the bridal bouquet and bridesmaid's bouquets were so impressive! Such a great value for how many flowers you get in every arrangement. If you're in San Diego and looking for a florist, I cannot recommend her enough. We feel so lucky to have found her through Abbey Catering & Events!

What's most incredible is that every single flower they use always looks totally perfect -- never a dud, not even close! They clearly take pride in their work and it really shows. I'm moving cities and sadly won't be able to use their services anymore, but I wanted to leave review to say thanks for all the flowers! If you're in the area, definitely consider South Park Flowers for your needs.
