    Sadly this company grinds toxic plastic trash into several of their mulch products! This is distributed everywhere. Our landscape was clean. You can imagine my shock when I walked around the mulch to find trash. At first we thought it could be cleaned up - After a 5 hour effort we decided that it would take a lifetime to pick up every bit of plastic. Today we began having over an acre of this toxic trash raked out! Someday there will be young kids playing out there and I cannot have left this trash for them! I have reported the situation to CARecycle, State Environmental Committee and City of Oceanside. Look elsewhere for compost and mulch!

    mulch was spread on a steep hillside and they did an outstanding job putting it exactly where it needed to go.

    A tiny but well-curated store. I wasn't going to post, but I've had my plant for over a month now…read moreand it is by far, one of the healthiest plants I've ever bought. I came in on a whim, looking for a swiss cheese plant, and the guy working enthusiastically showed me several different sizes. I knew I wanted something small, and he had exactly what I'd hoped to find. There's a lot going on in this little space; every plant I saw was absolutely gorgeous. When I went to pay, he gave me a bunch of tips on how to care for it, and was untangling leaves while he spoke to me. I could tell he loves what he does! Overall, it was a bit pricey, but I do like supporting small businesses and I am pleased with my purchase. I will definitely return. Pros: - friendly, informative customer service - healthy plants - gorgeous ambience Cons: - parking not great - a bit pricey - not a nursery or garden anymore; just a shop

    Nice small shop. Love the ambience between the water fountain and earthly soil. Very zen. Looking…read morefor cast iron plant but ended up with some nice plants instead. On top of that sergio is very knowledgeable with the plants, he really knows his things, from cat/pet safety to proper plant environment. Hes like the doctor of plantology. there is also free teaching lesson for the aftercare of plants. Highly recommended. Definitely be back for more. Hope they have the cast iron plant next time!

    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).

    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...
