    Plumeria 5-gallon for $54.95
    Katy C.

    What a pleasure to find this nursery after visiting so many high-priced businesses. We have a large yard to plant and could only afford to do one small strip when buying from the other guys. Today we visited Kniffing's and our prayers were answered. We were shopping for hibiscus and plumeria and we were able to get 5-gallon plants for less than the 1-gallon plants are at Lowe's or Home Depot. The guys were super helpful taking us right to what we were looking for and loading everything into their 4x4 so we didn't lift a finger. They were very knowledgeable about how big each plant will get and which plants to put together. The set-up isn't glamorous but is well laid out and full of great options. I highly recommend checking them out before you spend a dime anywhere else.

    Finish project!

    Many plants to choose from best prices in the San Diego area do recommend hands down drove up to Alpine to visit their Nurseries to compare their prices to high stay away!

    So many healthy plants and at decent prices. I'd never been to this area but was easy to find and a joy to walk around in. Everyone was really helpful from the worker walking by asking if I needed any help to another worker who suggested I pick a plant from a different spot where there were larger and fuller. The woman who rang me up knew her stuff. She told me about the qualities of some of my choices and could tell I was going for low water with all. Even the resident cat, Gary, was sweet as he sprawled on the counter for pets while my new plants were being rung up. Definitely added to my list of go to nurseries around San Diego!

    4 acres of plants to select from, and the prices were really low. Top quality trees, shrubs, flowers, ground covers, succulents, landscaping plants, and I saw a lot of products to keep them all healthy, like Dr. Earth. Expert knowledgable staff, answered all my questions quickly. Very affordable, surprised with how many plants I bought and did not feel that I spent a lot. Not hard to find, a pleasant drive out to East County San Diego. All of the plants I purchased are thriving, healthy, thanks to their advice!

    What an awesome nursery! This is what I look for when I am working in yard projects. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The whole nursery is clean and well organized with a variety of plants at great prices. The prices are clearly marked and most plants were labeled with the name and care instructions. I needed a few larger plants for some beautiful pots that I received for Christmas and I found exactly what I was looking for. It is also a cool place just to wander around and get ideas. A very friendly cat kept me company while I shopped.

    Went shopping for a citrus tree. This place carries plants…read morefrom the Monrovia supply.but they carry such a large section. I've never seen this many different and hard to find plants. Plenty of people working to help load or answer questions. The prices are higher than big box stores, but your not going to find this kind of variety and different sizes at any box stores. I feel that the higher prices are justified based on selection and the customer service

    The plants I get from here are all alive still! (In contrast…read moreto the plants I bought from other big box stores nearby... most of them do not survive for whatever reason) -plants I have from here: meyer lemon, pink lemon, pineapple guava, and now two different varieties of low-chill blueberries! They are all doing well This place has a large variety of plants, from flowers to trees, from fruits to vegetables, from shrubs to bushes to vines. It's a really fun place to look around if you are into plants. The prices are a little higher than the other stores, but the quality of plants I get are worth it. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They also have a loyalty program, the Hedge fund, that you can earn points and turn them into in-store credit. They also offer free gardening classes on saturdays Some of their other gardening things (soil, fertilizer, pots etc) are quite expensive, so I do price-check with other places first.
