The workers there are friendly and helpful but Susie is who I look for when I go! I always take her advice and she's never steered me wrong! She truly cares about her plants, a few years ago she sent a giant fiddle leaf fig that I purchased from them in a box truck to my house free of charge because it would have been damaged in my truck and she didn't have to do that! She will also look at photos of trees they've planted for you and tell you how to help them if they're struggling but that's never happened to us. Everything they plant for us thrives! They just left after planting five trees for me and they sent a crew of five men, all who were so nice and professional. They asked me multiple times throughout the job if I liked the placement or if I wanted anything changed and they finished super quickly and cleaned everything up when they left! They even checked our sprinklers to make sure they didn't break anything which no landscaper or worker has ever done for us. We will only use Bolles!

As I drove by I noticed the property was full of trees. I drive it unsure where to park. I was the only one! I walked around to check out the trees. Eventually this man approached me and asked if I had any questions. I asked him about shade trees, trees with non invasive roots. I also wanted a few flowering plums trees. They were priced at $45.00. Not knowing what trees cost these days, I thought of driving to 2 other nurseries to get an idea. I mentioned to him, I live a mile away and will be back to get some trees. This nursery was short on ground covers and annual flowers. They had a lot of trees and shrubs. Next stop was this nursery on Allen Road. Hmm, it was crowded and I barely found a spot to park. I asked to see some trees and was directed towards the back. Wow, same trees in the same pot cost $20+ more! This nursery sure had a lot choices for annuals, shaded plants like the Japanese Maple. Last stop, a nursery on Norris Road. Not as expensive compared to my 2nd stop. Not much tree selection but definitely had a lot of ground covers, annuals and shrubs. If you are looking for trees to plant here in Bakersfield, Monte Vista is the nursery. Cheapest price for healthy trees.

I agree with my mother-in-law: I want to live here. And while I cannot buy one of everything, I can sit and breathe and be one with everything. My cousin-in-law comes here every few weeks because "it's good for my soul," and I absolutely get it. Only 5 parking spaces plus 1 handicapped space, so come in the morning; on weekends, the next door business is closed so folks park there.

It is my favorite place to come when the weather is nice and I want to relax, maybe get a new plant, get inspired, or most recently pick up a new book.

Thats game changing for me who tends to mix miracle grow soil with dirt from my back yard. I have a purple anthurium that would like to thank them.

Robby's Nursery is one of those places I genuinely look forward to visiting. The women who run the…read morenursery (I believe they are Robby's daughters who took over after he passed away) are incredibly knowledgeable about plants. You can tell they have a genuine passion for what they do, and they are always so generous with their knowledge. The nursery itself feels like a maze designed for plant lovers. With every turn, there's something new or intriguing to discover. You can wander from one section to another and suddenly find a unique plant, an interesting pot, or some unexpected little treasure. It makes browsing feel like an adventure rather than just a shopping trip. And somewhere along your journey, you'll probably come across the nursery's two resident cats who clearly believe they run the place. They are both incredibly sweet and friendly. One of my favorite things is that if you tell them what plants you have, they can even mix up a bag of soil specifically suited to your plants. That kind of personalized service is becoming harder and harder to find. Another huge plus is the reasonable pricing, especially considering some of the more unusual and rare plants they carry. During this visit, I spotted mini Thai Constellation Monsteras for only $20! I've seen these plants priced at two or even three times that amount at other places, so finding them here at such a reasonable price was an especially nice surprise. I also love taking my time looking around inside the cashier building. There are so many interesting little treasures tucked in there, from marinades made by a business up on the coast to those adorable mini Thai Constellation Monsteras. During this visit, I discovered some beautiful handmade pots created by artists from Oceano and San Luis Obispo. I could easily spend way too much time browsing all the unique finds. They also shared some really interesting information about how plant shops along the coast will occasionally come together, almost like a farmers market, to sell all kinds of plants. I love learning things like this during my visits. Honestly, every trip to Robby's is about more than just buying plants. I really enjoy the conversations I have with these women and soaking up all the knowledge they have to share. They are friendly, passionate, and clearly love what they do.

This helps with crowd control since the brick and mortar store is adhering to COVID protocols, so only 2 customers in at a time. They have good stock, lots of variety, and the plants were well taken care of, which is not always the case at big box stores. I was naming a lot of the plants (I have taken up the hobby recently) to my sister who went with me but would ask the workers for names I couldn't remember. They knew their stuff! I bought a peperomia frost for a good price. They gave me care tips before leaving and the plant is still thriving today. The shop is charming and I will definitely go back there to shop again.
