What a hidden gem! Gonzalez Nursery is one of the best plant nurseries I've been to in the area. The entrance is easy to pass by and may look closed due to surrounding fences, even when it's opened. Inside is highly compact but holds a huge variety of succulents, trees, shrubs, house plants, and flowering plants. The apple and guava trees caught my attention. They were fruiting and looked healthy. I purchased chives for $6, which I thought was very reasonable. The service was great - they helped me look up the price of plants and even recommended which pot of chives looked the most healthy. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at this nursery. I hope they continue to thrive. I'll definitely come back when I'm looking for more plants! read more

What a fantastic nursery!! You don't understand....i am a HUGE PSS (plant store snob). I have visited many many nurseries, big and small, in the Los Angeles area. I am amazed when people go to big places that are so incredibly expensive. I would so much rather give my business to a kind and gentle man like Federico, who takes tender and fatherly care of the plants in his charge, and has fair prices unlike the giant nurseries with huge overheads. I will be coming here for all of my plants from now on. Trust me on this! read more

Gonzalez Nursery - Don't miss it! It's a bit tucked away. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Monrovia, California

Wow wow wow. What a magical spot. I came on a Sunday with my mom hoping to find some inspiration for our yard (and seeking a California sage) and we were not disappointed. Got a mature climbing fuschia (at least 4-5 ft tall) and a 5 gal sage for just $40. I saw later that it's cash only, so we lucked out there. Unfortunately, my Spanish isn't very good, so if you speak it, you'll be golden in terms of asking more specific questions. The young woman working was super helpful. Please buy from this place so it sticks around! It's a fantastic alternative to Home Depot and even the larger nearby nurseries like the one in San Gabriel. read more

Very nice seller. Has some houseplants. Nd lots outdoor plants. Good and fair prices! Will be coming back

They definitely have a green thumb. Lots and lots and lots and....of plants everywhere! Looks like they propagate a lot of it themselves. Plenty of baby plants and the prices are reasonable (most cheaper than stores). Would recommend if you don't care about fancy decor and just want to buy plants....also, young lady that helped me was very nice and gave me some great tips and tricks to help my trees/plants survive in my full sun backyard. Thank you read more

The selection and prices are great and the young woman who is there on Sundays is super helpful and nice. I feel good about helping this small business instead of those other big chain Nurseries. I love the plants I have been buying here, they are beautiful and make great gifts. It's cash only so don't forget and bring plenty because you're going to want to buy everything. read more

Gonzales was great, he answers my questions over the phone, help me choosing the blueberries and load to my car. He's professional and reasonable prices. read more

I just had the BEST experience wit Niri at Gonzalez Nursery on Duarte Rd. Stopped in in a Friday with some specific questions on plants for my yard. The owner suggested that I come back on Sunday to meet his daughter, Niri. What a gem. She was lovely , friendly and very knowledgeable. Gave me lots of options and listened to what we liked. Although it's a small place , they had a lot of choices. Niri guided me through and gave me lots of advise on plant care. They are going to deliver, and plant all the bushes for way less than Home Depot or Garden View would've charged just for plants! It pays to shop local! 5 stars!! read more

Gonzalez Nursery - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Monrovia, California

This place is a hidden gem! Loved the low prices and the kind service. Gonzales is kind and helpful. Cash only!

Small Local nursery with very reasonable prices. Decided to stop by at a friends suggestion - I've lived in area for 20+ years and have never heard of them. They have some unique plants and succulents that aren't available at major garden centers. I was searching for hanging succulents (of any type) and they had a good selection and ones I've never seen before. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. This is a good spot whether you have general idea of plant type and/or open to discovering something new. Purchased a Donkey tail and a String of Banana plant and will return in future. read more

Gonzalez Nursery - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Monrovia, California

This place is great. It's a small atmosphere, but there is a lot of selection. Indoor house plants towards the back. Came during covid and yes wear a damn mask. The prices are great compared to two other nurseries I went to. The owner's daughter (sorry I forgot her name) was really friendly, knowledgeable, and just really cool. Definitely coming back and hopefully turning my black thumb green. read more

This place is a little gem. I bought a bougainvillea tree (15 gal pot), lavendar (15 gal pot), succulent (beautiful, full, healthy - 5 gal pot), and lantana (5 gal pot) - total price $88 - think you could get that at a commerial nursery? The lady who helped me was very helpful and made excellent recommendations for my balcony garden - explaining that being in full sun, plants would bake because of the walls of the balcony + hot floor of the balcony, and that draught tolerant plants were best. Bonus is the beautiful colors of the plants I bought, which I know from past experience will thrive where they're placed in full sun. As you drive on Duarte Rd., you have to be alert to find the place tucked in between larger buildings. But it is street-facing with parking on the street in front - no curbs in this section of the street, so you might overlook it. But it is there, and it is my new go-to place for healthy plants at an excellent price! read more

Gonzalez Nursery was recommended to me by a neighbor with a spot-on front yard. I initially drove by too early, so checked out Home Depot and other local nurseries...huge mistake. I was determined to make my vision come to life, so drove back after they opened. The father/daughter team helped make my vision a reality. I shared my thoughts about repurposing my water fountain and the specifics about location, and in a matter of minutes, it became a reality. I will, without a doubt, visit this nursery moving forward for all my garden needs. The young lady helping me out drew out my fountain, explained placement, identified my best options, and pointed out things I had not thought about. To say they earned a 5-star review is an understatement. Check them out, you will not be disappointed! read more

I am so happy to find this wonderful Nursery behind my house .Their price is so reasonable that I don't think I want to go to other places. read more

I really love this place. They are so kind and knowledgeable about their plants. Very well priced in my opinion and all of my plants for the last two years have continued to thrive without any problems. I constantly get compliments on my plants. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody wanting to be a plant parent. read more

First time here. I'm trying to look for a specific plant but he's chatting and laughing talking to some lady on speaker. I don't want to interrupt but I'm also just standing around. I finally asked if he can help me find a indoor plant, he just points over at a distance and goes back to the phone laughing and chatting again. Glad he's having a great time but you're running a business man. Could've made yourself $100 today if you had just given me 5 min of your time. read more

A really wonderful independent nursery! So many different types of beautiful plants, fruit trees, topiaries, succulents. It's like a magic garden! Also, the prices are GREAT! Very, very reasonable! Highly, highly recommend! read more

Loved finding this nursery. It is small but has basically every plant you could want. The prices are way better than all the others. It is a tight walk through but I guarantee you will find what you want for the right price. Very knowledgeable and gave great tips. They do not take credit or debit but you can zelle, venmo, or take cash. Its the definition of small business which I love to support. Keep up the great work. read more

Great selection of plants and trees. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Definitely planning on going back for more.

I came here looking for some plants that would purify the air in my room. They have a lot of varieties of plants and the workers are very knowledgeable! Prices are very fair especially compared to everywhere else. Make sure to bring cash because they are cash only! You should also bring your own plastic bags because they are small family owned and they have bags because people donate them and bring them. They will tell you how to best care for your plant and all that good stuff. Come here for all your plant needs, help support them cause they are super nice. Support small business, ya'll! read more

I was very surprised by the high ratings this nursery received, upon my arrival. It's a very small nursery, very crowded. The walkway was very narrow and had to make a real effort to get around. I tried to check out the rose bushes, but too much blockage to get to it. The prices were high. read more

You need to know that is a small place with a limited selection before you go there. The nice photos of the plants submitted by other yelpers do not give you this impression. The area is maybe 25-30 feet wide (think 2 good sized bedrooms with a hallway in between) and 75-90 feet deep (the length of a house property). Parking is limited to where you can find on the street. The owner seems nice and helpful but the prices appeared average, not competitive. However, if you travel east for about 15 minutes, there is a much larger garden nursery in Glendora with a better selection of plants and they are just as helpful and friendly. Personally, I need space to lay out plants to see how the leaves, flowers, colors, and textures work together, it is difficult to do that at this nursery because the open/bare ground is limited to the walkway and entrance area. Overall, this is what you can consider a small humble place to be - support this local business if you can. read more

After looking for Lavender plants at all the large local nurseries and big box stores and coming up empty, I found this hidden gem in Monrovia/Duarte. One-gallon plants were $5 and five-gallon plants were $15. If he doesn't have it....he will get it for you. I have my lavender. read more

I stumbled upon this jewel of a nursery on an unintended detour and have been back dozens of times. The father and daughter combo who run it are gracious and their plants/trees are healthy and more-than reasonable in price. The greater Pasadena area boasts a dozen excellent nurseries but I only buy is Gonzalez doesn't have the particular thing I'm looking for. I have saved hundreds of dollars and my property looks like the Arboretum! read more

I first found Gonzalez Nursery's gorgeous plants at the Claremont Farmers Market and was so impressed. As a floral designer, I've seen many a bloom and plant in my career and I have to say their plants are absolutely amazing. From roses to mint, apple and avocado trees, to succulents and eucalyptus trees, this place has an amazing selection and amazing prices. Every last one of the over 25 plants I have purchased has thrived. They're extremely knowledgeable and the sweetest family. You can tell they spend much time caring for their greenery, trying to keep it pesticide free. I look forward to buying many many more plants read more

Gonzalez Nursery - Plant picking! We took home almost too many to fit in the truck. Amazing quality - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Monrovia, California

I had a wonderful experience at Gonzalez Nursery. Spoke to Niri and she was so knowlegeable and enthusiastic about the plants. They also specialize in miniatures, and they grow many of their own plants as well. I am so happy with my purchase and with the fun time I had talking about plants with Niri. They are also working toward stocking more California natives too. read more

Great place to get all of your plants, trees and shrubs. I met Federico at a farmers market. He's very nice and super reasonable with his prices. He had his own nursery which his able to give great prices. No need to haggle which is great. I will be coming here for my gardening needs. read more

Gonzalez Nursery is a great little nursery. Good selection, very knowledgeable with great customer service. They helped us with all the plants we needed for our front yard and they were very patient. Their prices are reasonable and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Came here a few days without knowing what to expect but left pleasantly with two beautiful plants. The lady (so sorry I forgot her name) who helped me was super nice and knowledgeable. I am quite scared to grow anymore plants because I had a super dark thumb. She patiently answered every single question I had and gave me a lot of great advice. She is a horticulturist who will also provide consultations for a really reasonable fee. I bought two 5-gallon draught resistant plants in incredible price and she helped me load them to the car and even placed newspaper below them to keep things clean. Thank you so much for all your help! I am really encouraged and will definitely come back! read more

On 5/8/19 I ordered 20 - 5 gallon Bougainvillea four of which were purple. Viti took my original order and was very helpful. I paid $400.00 up front and picked up my order on 5/11/19. I was very pleased but I did notice two of the purple were weak looking. I called today 5/17/19 and asked to replace the two but was told there were no returns or exchanges. I was so surprised. Spend $400.00 and cannot exchange two bad plants. I was never told I could not exchange bad stuff and nothing on the receipt. This is really bad because all they had to do was return them to the grower. Be sure your plants are fresh when you order a large amount. Nice Place, Vidi was terrific but bad plants.

We bought most of our Christmas presents from this awesome little nursery. Viri was so helpful and knowledgeable about all the plants we gifted. We appreciated her honestly and most of all the time she spent with us picking out our plants and trees!! read more

This is seriously a tiny hidden gem in the city of Duarte. I would agree that the lot is somewhat tiny and a little cramped. But honestly the prices aren't bad at all. I rated it 4 Stars mostly due to there not being a ton of variety but the owner is super nice. I can't for the life of me remember his name but he was a very sweet man and honest about maintenance for the plants. read more

It's an alright place. 3-5 gallon rose bush is cheaper than other nursery places but they look rather frail. When we asked them to take some of the roses out for us to see they didn't like that. They only took out 2 instead of 4 (well I wanted 2 different colors wanted to compare them what was wrong with that?!) and their place is very tight too not like I can inspect the rose bushes very clearly. I bought 2 but I won't be back. read more

Trash nursery. Received a plant for my birthday from my sister, who was told by the people at Gonzalez nursery it was a string of hearts. When I did a little more research I cane to find out it's actually a plant called yellow archangel. It is an extremely invasive plant, that vigorously spreads. How can you lie to customers willing to support your small business. Gtfoh read more

I found Gonzalez Nursery through yelp and the great reviews drove me there. Upon my arrival I was greeted by Viri I told her what I was looking for and she quickly helped me find exactly the type of plants I needed. The nursery carried a variety of beautiful plants,flowers,trees etc, and their prices are so reasonable, I highly recommend this family owned business. read more

Very small and jam packed with all kinds of plants but the man was very nice and helped us as quickly as he could. He seems to run it on his own so if there are a few people just be patient. His prices are the best around and his plants are wonderful. Would definitely come back for more soon read more

Great plants and service was super helpful!! The owner was so nice and welcoming. He is very knowledgeable and has great customer service! The prices are awesome!!! I have found my go to nursery for plants and succulents. Highly recommend giving this place a look!! read more
