    Golden Nursery used to be my favorite nursery, it's still great but there are other places I'd rather go to. Customer service isn't a huge plus, staff will walk by and won't talk to you. (This isn't something I've factored into the review since to be frank, most nurseries are like this. Hopefully it helps information-wise though.) They also do not pick up the phone most of the time or return calls. They have a large selection although I personally found the edible plant selection to be a bit lacking, especially since we're pretty close to the frenzy of spring gardening. Prices I've found a bit on the higher side. Most avocado trees in particular were quite pricey and the biggest bummer for me was the Visitacion Valley tomato starts that I purchased. The two I nabbed were the best out of the bunch but I later found out they were completely overpriced. (For reference, I picked up three other starts at another local nursery for the same price + from the same grower and there's simply no comparison. I do not normally purchase starts nowadays since I have winstrips at home but alas this particular SF heirloom variety strangely does not have seeds available.)

    They have remodeled this place since the last time I have been here. They have a wonderful selection of plants. The staff is friendly. The prices are a little high but the plants are very healthy and they have classic favorites and many plants that you don't find just anywhere. They also had some fun Halloween decorations.

    YooooooooooOoOoOoooo!! This place is breathtaking. Didn't really expect it to be this big. Actually, I didn't even know what the heck to expect when I was pulling up, because it's literally right off the freeway, and tucked into a residential area where the streets are super narrow and there are plenty of cars. I heard parking could be a beezy here, but we didn't have any issues coming around 11.00 or something. There are tons of plants to choose from, and I believe that it's either all outdoor plants or 99%. Was looking for some stuff to hang around the house, but left with a bunch of succulents instead, ha! Never had succulents before, so we'll see if I don't kill them within the first few weeks. Succulents are a different breed of plant, man! When I get plants, I love to coddle them, love them, sing to them, raise them to be the best plants they could ever be. Succulents... now they require the exact opposite of that. They are desert plants! They thrive on being left TF alone and I kind of hate it. LET ME LOVE YOU!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

    Very nice staff and well-stocked with lots of exotic plants. We saw holy basil, many kinds of arugula, kale, gooseberries, dragonfruit, holy basil, and trees like yuzu, kaffir, and cara cara orange. Tons of avocado and fig trees to choose from. Different passion fruit vine sizes with fruits and flowers. Staff is very friendly and knowledgable. Seeds are in the back in staff-only room. They are also very good at cleaning the cart and the cashier was super polite. Please support this local business!

    I went to their shop on a Monday and Ordered a funeral arrangement /spray for a Friday service at…read morethe church for a total of $360. I chose the Paradise spray as the young man who had passed away really liked Hawaii. I asked the young lady that took the order whether it's large or if I pay more would it be larger and she said all the sprays are the same size and if you pay more, they would just add more flowers but the size would be the same. So, I asked her to charge me more for more flowers $300 and go from there. Told her it's for a young man who has passed away and I want it to be special. After calling someone to make sure they can do this arrangement due to the fact that they were very busy with weddings that weekend, She assured me that it would be done and made special. She even said that they have all the flowers in-season to be able to make this spray. At he church service on Friday I was so EMBARRASSED by the arrangement. It was small and not balanced (maybe it was missing the leaves around it... not sure) but it looked terrible or maybe the florist just didn't take the time to arrange in properly. I think they should not take additional business when they cannot handle it. I know the cost of a funeral spray does not compare to the revenue they get for a wedding but this was important to me and I wanted something special for my loved one. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to take a picture because I did not want anyone associating those flowers with me. After calling the store, a couple of people (Regina and then Mark) called me back and just apologized; At first offering to refund me 50% but then rescinding that offer. Their messages mentioned that I was charged appropriately for the arrangement and they would contact me but I never heard back after leaving my review. There should be better training of their staff when a customer orders so they do not give the wrong information about the size of an arrangement and also, not take on additional business when they cannot handle it. Think twice about ordering a one-off arrangement from here; their focus is only on big-ticket revenue from weddings.

Juliana's vision is that your backyard should be an extension of your home, another room. Working with Juliana was wonderful.

It truly is an extension of our home. Juliana and Mauricio (who she works with on the hardscape) did a wonderful job in transforming our yard. Communication with her was excellent. She stayed on budget and the only work order changes were a result of our wanting something different from the original plans. She has a great knowledge of plants and design.

We did not proceed with developing plans, but the verbal estimate to get the work done was going to be $70-100K. We will be spending $30-50K with a different landscaper. So my perception is that Terra Rubina is very expensive. For the $250 bill, I tried to pay by Venmo. Venmo required last 4 digits of phone number in order to process the payment. I emailed asking for the last 4 digits of their phone number and did not hear back, so I didn't pay. Two weeks later I received a very rude and confrontational email hounding me for payment and threatening a late fee. I have seen back yards done by Terra Rubina. They are beautiful. If you want high quality work, and don't mind being bullied, and you're willing to pay a steep price, then maybe Terra Rubina is for you. They're not for me.
