Van Nuys has a seriously underrated little plant gem hiding right in the neighborhood!…read more I was on a mission to find pesticide-free milkweed for monarch butterflies and decided to check this nursery out. I'm SO glad I did. I ended up taking home three milkweed plants, and they were exactly what I was looking for. Luis made the experience. He was welcoming from the beginning and actually took the time to walk me around the nursery instead of just pointing me toward a section and sending me on my way. He answered my questions, showed me the different plants, and you could immediately tell how much care and dedication he puts into this place. One of the biggest reasons I'll be returning is that the plants are not treated with pesticides. When you're buying milkweed specifically to support monarchs, that matters! The entire nursery also feels genuinely cared for -- the plants are well maintained, the watering setup is thoughtful, and there are tons of interesting and exotic varieties to look through. Even before I arrived, Luis was helpful. I called to make sure they had milkweed available, and he answered the phone and was incredibly approachable. This is exactly the kind of small local nursery I love finding. Personal service, healthy plants, knowledgeable people, and you actually feel good about where you're spending your money. I will absolutely be getting my plants here from now on. If you're a plant lover -- especially if you're trying to create a butterfly or pollinator-friendly garden -- GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT.

In July 2025, my landscaper purchased 18 25-gallon Eugenia shrubs to create a green barrier for the…read morefront yard of my cottage, which is located on a busy street. They looked great when first planted. But then they began shriveling and dying. Unbeknownst to my landscaper and me, these Eugenia shrubs are diseased and are dying. They were planted correctly and properly watered and fertilized. Vineland Nursery won't replace them because "they didn't grow them". The grower, they claim, is responsible, and mentioned that other customers had the same problem. This lack of due diligence in vetting the grower and their plants is unprofessional, and the onus is not on the customer. I expect full exchanges or a refund for my purchase.

I try to avoid negative Yelp reviews. I've had uncomfortable and/or rude experiences before, but I…read moreusually just move on. This experience, however, was so off that I felt compelled to share it. I'm assuming the gentleman who helped me was the owner, although I can't say that with certainty. From the beginning, the interaction felt unusually unwelcoming and dismissive. I came in looking to purchase approximately 30-40 plants, which is a pretty good-sized order. The plants were already on the expensive side because they came in relatively small pots. When I first asked about ground cover, I was immediately told to go somewhere else. I then showed him two plants I was interested in, and he said they would work. I asked if there was any discount or flexibility if I purchased a large quantity. He just stared at me at first, so I clarified that I was hoping to negotiate the price because of the size of the order. I was then told that if I purchased 12, I could get one free. I said okay and decided to purchase two plants first to take home and see how they looked. Despite the initial interaction feeling uncomfortable and being told to go somewhere else, I really liked the plants. My husband and I decided that we were willing to purchase the 30 to 40 plants regardless of the interaction or price because we liked them that much. I returned only a few minutes later and said, "I'm back. I'd like to order 40 of these." I then asked if the one plant I had literally just purchased could count toward the quantity, since I had bought it only minutes earlier and was now placing a much larger order. The response was simply, "No," accompanied by a smirk and a laugh. I was honestly shocked that, knowing I was prepared to purchase 40 plants, there wasn't even a willingness to consider counting the one plant I had purchased just minutes earlier toward the order. At that point, it wasn't really about the cost of one plant. It was about the way the interaction was handled: dismissing me to go somewhere else rather than helping me find the right plant in his nursery, staring at me when I asked about purchasing in quantity, and then being unwilling to consider the one plant I had just purchased while laughing about it. I was genuinely surprised by the interaction and ultimately just walked away and said, "You know what, forget it." I've dealt with businesses where the customer service wasn't great before, and sometimes I've simply tolerated the uncomfortable interaction and proceeded with the transaction anyway. But this interaction felt so careless and rude from the beginning that I just couldn't bring myself to proceed with a 40-plant order. Unfortunately, I left feeling that my business was not wanted, so I took it elsewhere. Update- I found a place for half his costs , local and exact same plants! And the people are nice! Three big wins!

While she was finishing it up, I wandered around their back garden area - and again was just reminded at how extraordinary it is that this oasis exists right in the middle of the city - it's literally like a small national park with all the fountains and waterfalls and stunning Landscaping - And just needed to again remind anybody anywhere between Burbank and Santa Monica - if you love stunning landscaping, gorgeous stonework water fountains, waterfalls, and breathtaking architecture... You absolutely have to stop by this extraordinary haven. On a sidenote - the owners love to stock up on handcrafted hand poured artisanal candles, soaps, and lotions, from the same shops that are stocked in five star resorts... But at half the price!!! So it's a great place to pick up gifts while you're there.
