I enjoy driving by and seeing the colorful plants in the shade of a giant oak, so I finally stopped in. It is like visiting a botanic garden, with everything from citrus trees to vegetable starts, native fliwering plants and lots of succulents. The colorful pots for sale are artistcally placed. Service was friendly and lowkey with reasonable prices. read more

I stopped in here to look for a giant decorative planter/pot. After wandering around a bit, I went inside and asked the two employees at the front desk for suggestions. The young man quickly turned me over to the young woman and she took me around the grounds to show me what they had, and when I explained I was going to plant a dwarf citrus, she let me know they really didn't have any planters/pots big enough for that. I did see one or two that were maybe okay, but were super expensive, so for my sake, her advice was accurate. I appreciate her honesty and now that I bought a half-barrel off FB Marketplace, I plan to return to Flora Gardens when my tree arrives so they can sell me the right kind of soil to fill in my planter. :) read more

I enjoy coming to Flora Gardens when I want to do something fun in our garden. Purchases have included lots of lavender, succulents, seeds, and flowers for the yard. Their staff is knowledgeable and super friendly and the Ventura Axxess deal for first time use is a whopping 25% off, amazing! They have a great selection of trees too, stop by you won't be disappointed! And if you're looking for seeds, they sell my favorite seeds (Plant Good Seeds) in a ton of various fruits and veggie options. Great seeds means great harvest! read more

Really impressed by this quaint & unassuming little nursery in Ojai! I decided to stop by on my way to downtown and am so glad I did. Though their selection of indoor houseplants is quite small (just one small room), they do have an overall good selection of everything in general (outdoor plants, cacti, etc.) What I was most impressed by was their reasonable pricing and variety of pots! Maybe I'm too jaded by LA pricing but I thought everything was really affordable and thought they actually had some really cute cement & terra cotta pots. I will definitely be revisiting the next time I'm in the Ojai area. read more

I was so disappointed while at Flora gardens July 3rd, as they were getting ready to close there was a young Hispanic woman standing at the gate waiting to lock it as soon as the last 2 customers were gone. Several cars were pulling into the parking lot wanting to get in and they were Hispanic people she allowed them to go in with a smile, they told her they would be quick another car pulled in this time it was a white woman when she asked if she could go in the Hispanic woman said no they were closed and she got back in her car and left... another car pulled in 2 Hispanic men got out and asked the girl if they could go in and she allowed them this was ABSOLUTE RACISM so sad this is a business in our valley shame on Flora Gardens read more

Read the previous negative review about poor customer service and totally get it. However, I think the difficulty stems from policies to stay safe. It's true customers have to do A LOT more grunt work hauling things around, figuring out the (confusing) system, and getting someone to help, but I'm willing to cut them some slack. This too will pass, and I'm happy they're pressing through rather than giving up and closing. They do have science-based policies in place and customers are being smart following them, so I feel I can get my herb garden plants even in those small aisles without risking my life. read more

I'm sorry, I hate posting a poor review of this nursery that I've been going since I was a little girl. It's nice that they have remained open through this difficult time BUT... there was NO costumer service what so ever. It was so bad that other customers were complaining as well. We couldn't get prices for soil so my friend went to ask and the young lady didn't answer her and just pointed to the sign. They had us carry in a cart full of plants and had us carry them back out. When we asked for assistance we were ignored. We left without buying half the stuff we intended to. What a disappointment. Hate to say it. read more

Do not use this company! They do not stand behind their work…read more Spent over $23,000 on landscaping and construction services from this company less than 2 years ago, and have had terrible service from the moment final payment was made. When Brandon (my contact) told me which plants they intended to install, I told him some wouldn't survive the hot, dry, full-sun location. He insisted they would work, and told me they all had a one-year guarantee. Within three months, when they started to die, I sent him photos and asked that they be replaced with others. Despite promises they would be changed (at least six times over the next few months), they were never replaced. Likewise, the artificial turf that was installed was not installed with enough/the right adhesive and the turf has become a serious tripping hazard. Again, calls to Brandon were met with promises that someone would come out to fix it, and no one ever did. Repeated messages were not returned. Last month an obviously broken irrigation pipe under the tile/artificial turf they installed caused flooding in my yard. When I called the company to ask for someone to come out to evaluate what could be done, Jordan told me Brandon no longer worked for the company. (I guess that explains why my messages weren't returned.) Jordan told me he was Brandon's replacement, and that he would be out in two days to take a look. 10 days later, he came out and confirmed it was a broken pipe, but said my warranty had expired and there would be a charge to repair the pipe. He told me it would require the large tiles and turf to be demolished to find the problem, but he'd send me an estimate. It's been over a month and again, I've been ghosted. I consulted another irrigation specialist who told me that if a pipe underground ha broken, it was likely cracked when it was installed. I hope this serves as a warning for anyone considering paying this company to do landscaping and installation.
