Indoor Plants Section

I can't recommend this Nursery enough. I walked in and my eyes went crazy! This place is extremely organized, the staff are so friendly. I literally had 3-4 staff ," good afternoon if there was anything we can help you find." Then there is Jessica, who is amazing. She guided me, gave me top notch recommendations. This is now my new "go-to" Thank you Martinez Nursery.

Good place to shop for outdoor plants as their outdoor selection in the front was very well maintained. The indoor plant selection however was lacking, some items not labeled or priced, and lots of plants neglected so choices are limited. I was looking for a unique indoor plant but did not like the choices are quality available. Plant pot and soil selection were poor and seemed neglected also.

Begonia Maculata

Loved it here! Finally decided to stop by today as I was in the area and I don't regret it! Large variety of house plants, which is what I went for. Multiple sizes of everything, great selection of pots also. Found 2 plants I've been looking for and was able to get them off my wish list. Service was great and prices are very fair.

String of turtles

I found this nursery when I ordered a plant off Etsy in 2023. The return address of the plant was Martinez and since I was local, I had to check it out. This place is amazing. I only go for succulents and their selection is outstanding (prices are VERY reasonable). They have lots of string succulents. String of Turtles are my favorite, but I can't keep them alive to save my own life. The employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. I went today to pick up soil and got some solid advice from the nice woman who helped me.

I was referred here by a former customer of mine, so I made it a point to stop in before my final decision of new landscaping plants and trees. This nursery is massive in size with a large selection of trees and plants for whatever you're looking for. Located down the street by the Buena Park mall, the nursery is located on the South side of La Palma Ave. Parking is conveniently located in front of the business, and they'll allow you to pick up larger items via your vehicle or stage your order for your landscaper to pick up. Customer service was top notch by Estela, whom literally spent hours assisting me in selecting King palms, olive trees, succulents, and CA native plants for my drought tolerant drip landscaping. My tab ended up being several thousand dollars, but even my landscaper said the product was top quality and at competitive price. I'm very happy with the service, variety, and pricing here at Martinez Nursery and highly recommended them.

Wow this establishment is so vast with a variety of plants ranging of small succulents and flowed to trees! I stopped by because I was looking for a gift for my grandmother's birthday gift. She has a nice garden and I wanted to give her something that would add color and spruce up her yard. We found a very pretty red flower (I forgot the name). There is a code on the side that can tell you more information. The lady who helped us at the front explained that watering it once a week was enough and direct/ indirect sunlight was good. We went around 2 pm and it was pretty hot! I recommend wearing shoes that you don't mind getting dirty because it is all dirt paths. And having sunglasses and a hat would be good too! I had a fun time exploring the area! I couldn't go through it all because if you keep going to the back the plants get larger and larger! Plus it was a hot day too The cost was also very reasonable and affordable. They accept card but cash is preferred, I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a plant!

Succulents !
Grace A.

This is my first time going to Martinez Nursery ! They had a wide assortment of Succulents and Cacti ! So many choices ! The prices were very reasonable ! If you pay with cash no tax. I loaded up as I needed perlite, cactus mix and terra cotta pots. I also bought two Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus in two inch pots for $4 each. I bought a Hoya Rosita for $12 in a four inch potI love to repot my starter plants and watch them my plants grow ! The staff is very friendly and helpful !

Wow

I was looking for some new plants and came across this place and loved it! I had called because I…read moregot a little lost based off the address and the photos I was referencing from old yelp reviews (now there's an ax throwing place where they used to be but they literally right next door... their signage is just not as big as it previously was) and over the phone, the lady seemed a little stand offish and I felt a little put off. But once inside, the only lady working front desk and the front side (so I'm thinking the one who answered) was super friendly and helpful - without being overbearing. There was some class and things going on in the back section and I assume another worker was back there so maybe they were who answered and they could have been super busy on that end. I didn't have anything in mind so we just circled a few times and I did absolutely end up bringing home more plants than expected but really happy with what I got. I feel the items were priced fairly well. It's a small spot but a must visit. The set up is utilized very well and a lot to see and pick from. There are also fun classes you can take with friends! I will for sure be back myself for more plants and for a class!

I think the name of this shop is very clever, but that said, the plant selection isn't that…read morecomprehensive, maybe only about a third of the total space. Inventory appears healthy, though as other reviews mentioned, prices are slightly higher than similar plant stores and nurseries. When I came on a Sunday afternoon, there was a workshop happening (the other two-thirds of the space), so classes are probably where the Green Place focuses most of their efforts I would guess. The associate up front wasn't friendly or unfriendly, but I also didn't feel compelled to leave with a new houseplant. Maybe if the occasion arises, it would be a fun spot to do a group activity - but personally, that isn't today for me.

I purchased a Ruby Thai from Courtney about a year ago, and it's easily one of the best plants I've…read moreever brought home. It was priced fairly for Orange County, and the quality has been outstanding. The plant is thriving, incredibly healthy, and has produced an impressive amount of fruit. Courtney clearly knows her stuff -- I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Recieved a young sapodilla tree from here in a 15g pot for $90 (paid via Zelle?) and later…read morediscovered the soil was FULL OF TRASH There were tons of pieces of styrofoam/polystyrene (not perlite, which there was also) and shredded plastic of various sizes and type. When planting into the ground, to our dismay, there was rubbish all throughout the pot... so we had to wash off all the contaminated soil and plant it bareroot. Absolutely disgusting they grow their plants with toxic plastic mixed in! They probably get free compost from the city dumps or God knows. The soil was also full of artificial fertilizer pellets which likely contain plastic polymers. I contacted them and they offered a replacement - but, whats the point of that if their other plants are grown the same way. It was too much for me to drive back and deal with that, and I'd set a time to get this job done. Was a little in touch by text with them, they didn't offer any form of refund or discount for the crappy soil condition they sold it in or the trouble to remove it, just the message: "Good luck with the bare root." Also, the tree's root system was actually quite small, a 3-5 gallon pot would have been more than adequate vs a half-filled 15 gallon pot. All in all, way overpriced for this poor quality and hassle. 2 stars instead of 1 simply because it's difficult to find some of these tropical fruit trees and the Vietnamese ladies here were friendly in person. ‍ Hopefully the tree survives the transplant shock, if it doesn't, we will fight for a full refund.

Namoo Plant Shop is a small and quaint plant & tree store that's tucked in the corner of a small…read moreplaza. My boyfriend and I actually initially found it as we were driving through La Mirada, but the name of the store caught my eye and we went in a few months ago, but I'm finally getting around to writing a review for them now! There was a gentleman who was running the store, who I learned was the owner! They had apparently been open in LA for a long time before packing up and moving over to La Mirada! The plants inside (as the name might suggest) were a mixture of trees and small plants. I'm not the best at knowing what plant species are what, but the vibe was very gardeny. What I mean by that is, that the owner of the location seems familiar with the plants, handling them, repotting them, etc. The entire time we were perusing, he was moving plants around, repotting, while also being very attentive and answering our questions. My favorite part of the store is tucked away in the back corner. It's a collection of art and art pieces. The painted plants were actually painted by the store owner's mother! In the end, that's what I ended up buying (I got 3 painted pictures). I don't remember exactly what the price was, but I remember being very pleased with what we got. If you have 5-10 minutes to spare and you're in the area, I recommend checking out Namoo Plant Shop. What you find might actually surprise you!

Funny because they replied to ALL my DMs before that. So the person I gifted it to also DMed them, they replied initially, then stopped once the issue was brought up. $300 for a dead plant. They gave me no resolution, no response. I want to support a Korean owned business so bad, but the lack of customer service and accountability was pathetic. I don't recommend buying from here.

As for the store itself, it's your usual Home Depot set up. Nothing special about, as they all the same. But this location gets 5 stars for being so welcoming. Especially when they have to work in a holiday. Thank you Home Depot for providing excellent customer service.

Literally the worst customer service experience I've had…read more I went in to return a few items. I didn't have my card with me, but I did have my receipt. I requested cash back for the return, and the cashier told me they couldn't do it because they didn't have cash in the register and would have to get it from the back. I asked if they could get it, and instead I was told to go to a different store. I asked to speak with a manager, and as the manager was coming over, the cashier suddenly started processing my cash refund. I didn't come in upset, but that situation was frustrating because they lied, instead of simply trying to help. When I spoke with the manager, Jason, he was being dismissive instead of trying to understand the situation. He kept repeating, "Well, you have your money, right?" rather than addressing the service. I asked for a business card or contact information for someone above the store level, and I was told they didn't have anything available. One that's unprofessional. Two I don't know if that was true. My issue wasn't the return itself. I got my money back. My issue was the lack of professionalism and the way the situation was handled. Good customer service means communicating honestly and treating customers with respect. I understand retail can be stressful, but being rude or dismissive only makes a simple situation worse. They were being rude and egging me on of course I'm gonna be upset.
