Cuffel Farms is definitely one of the things I miss most in SD! The variety of airplants Andy has is amazing and the prices are so reasonable! He is also so friendly and patient in answering all airplant care questions! I used to have to buy airplants to replenish the airplants I've killed, but now, I'm able to care for them and keep them alive better. Will definitely be back here when I can! Definitely has lots of instagramable spots! If you love plants and love a beautiful ambiance, then definitely check this place out!

I was a little worried about which plants to purchase because I don't have a green thumb, but Andy answered all of my questions! I'm now a loyal customer because the product quality and customer service are unparalleled. Unlike other shops, Andy keeps his prices fair--I've seen other shops that have triple the prices for the same product. It is evident that he loves what he does, and wants other people to love plants as well. Also, I felt very comfortable shopping there during this whole pandemic. The space is outside and Andy wore a mask the whole time.

We used their landscape design service to redo or front yard. Samantha Sinowitz was the designer…read moreassigned to our project. She was great. She met with us to see what kind of changes we wanted to make. She helped us pick out plants of various sizes, shapes and colors that had similar light and watering needs and would be particularly attractive to birds, butterflies and bees. She also helped us design some hardscape features to include. She then came up with a very attractive design blending everything together. Once the plants arrived, Samantha worked with the landscape contractors to see that everything was placed properly. I would definitely use Armstrong Garden Center and specifically Samantha Sinowitz for future landscape needs.

If you see me there next weekend, please do not rat me out for my addiction.

Though it's a neighborhood, it's not an overly packed one, so it was cool! Vibes: Welcome to the Linda Vista neighborhood. You're not too far away from the main plaza, but when you're here, it feels completely different. Though it's a house, it feels like you're in a nursery. They have a lot of plants, it left me pretty surprised. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people who were super knowledgeable. OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! I had a great experience here. It was fun walking around getting lost, seeing the different plants and seeing them thriving. They had some plants/produce I didn't expect to see. I wish I had a garden now to grow some of these plants but all in all, great place! Represent-ASIAN! Tips: * Plan accordingly, call ahead of time to check if they got what you're looking for. * Ong has a double meaning in Chinese - prosperity or pineapple.

The indoor and outdoor selection blew me away. Huge, healthy spider plants and tons of pothos varieties hang from the ceiling, all hooked up to a neat hydroponic watering system. If you want collector items, they have rare finds like variegated hoyas and massive Thai Constellation monsteras, plus endless succulents. Later in the evening, they dimmed the lights and a live DJ started playing music. It turned into such a great Saturday night vibe. They also have an on-site cafe with cold bottled drinks, fresh coffee, and snacks. Parking was easy, the staff was super friendly, and the prices were fair. We left with a couple of mini succulents and a gorgeous Snow Queen pothos. I'll definitely be back!

Stopped in for a couple of plants and stayed about half an hour. Terra Bella is huge, and the…read moreselection is way deeper than what you get at the big box places. Succulents, tropicals, houseplants, plus a fair number of things I hadn't seen anywhere else locally. Prices were honestly better than I expected for a place that looks this good. What makes it work is the plants, the DJ, and the overall cool factor. There's a booth right in the middle of the nursery with a disco ball over it and music going through the whole space, so you're wandering rows of tropicals with a set playing. Selva Coffee House is inside too. Espresso drinks are properly made, the house syrups are creative without being gimmicky, and they don't charge extra for oat or almond milk. Seating is tucked in among the plants, so you're drinking your coffee in what basically feels like tropical greenhouse.

If you're a dog owner, this is your kind of place. They even have a pup cup bar. I'm adding a brief clip from our visit that highlights the kind of small touches that make this place stand out. Dog‑parent perks aside, this nursery has the best ceramic pot collection in all of San Diego. Beautiful colors, every size you can imagine, matching saucers -- everything. And the prices are genuinely great. If you're hunting for something specific, they've got you covered. There's also a sweet little section of home décor, patio goodies, and dog items sprinkled throughout the store -- perfect for gifting or treating yourself. Plenty of parking, a rewards system, friendly vibes, and a super dog‑friendly atmosphere. Make this your new go‑to dog‑walk destination. Enzo and I already did.

You might see the shop cat resting or the doggo Enzo excitedly addressing the goats. Oh! Grab a bite onsite or perhaps grab some fresh flowers from the little flower boutique with some good gift giving ideas.

I had been before but it was a long time ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find how large this nursery is and how it's divided into sections based on the flora type. It's almost like a display of plants throughout the nursery as they are well integrated into the environment and various areas. Both the cacti and bonsai areas stood out. They have a nice but small selection of pots. The service through out the nursery was nice and friendly. Unfortunately checking out took forever since they only had one staff member at the register. All in all a good nursery that feels more like a botanical garden and a little less like a nursery.

I only needed like a handful for my single orchid and that just made my day! I then needed some soil for my indoor succulents and they were helpful helping me pick something out.
