This is one of my favorite nurseries in town. Not only are the employees always super friendly, but this location is also dog friendly! There are dog treats to sample inside and a poop bag station outside by the water fountain display. While they are a little more expensive than a box store, they also have a program called Whoopsie Daisy that guarantees your plants or you can get a replacement. While I haven't used this program, it's great for beginner gardeners like myself. I love their selection on everything from soils, to large ceramic pots. read more

We were looking for tree and shrub recommendations for our yard... and the staff person we talked to was simply fantastic. We gave her some general criteria. Then, she took us through the outdoor area to show us the trees and shrubs that they had in stock that met our requirements. It was such a great experience. I will definitely be purchasing some of the stuff she showed us. I love the seasonal items that they carry: from decorations to kitchen and pantry items. While their items may be a bit on thr pricey side, they also constantly have sales and they carry items that aren't found elsewhere! read more

Staff was super friendly and helpful. I was hoping that I didn't need to go to the other Moana nursery off Moana but ended up having to go there since this one didn't have either of the items that I was looking for. I did pick up a hummingbird feeder that was 50% off. They only give you one discount so I chose that over the senior discount. read more

Had such a nice time searching for a new house plant! I was impressed with all different kinds of knick knacks, garden art, sculptures, plants, fountains, and gifts throughout the nursery. There was so much to look at, I think we spent a solid hour walking through the indoor and outdoor area. We ended up purchasing a ficus for the marked price of $89.00. I'm not sure what the average price is for a ficus but we are pleased with the plant! Not to mention, we were very pleased with the service and cleanliness. read more

The service at the Pyramid Way location is top notch. We moved to Reno from Texas late last year so we're learning about the environment here. We've never felt ignored, or that we're asking too many questions. Everyone is kind and friendly and helpful. Thank you to all the staff at the Pyramid Way location for making each visit enjoyable. ~Your forever customers in Cold Springs read more

I visited Moana Nursery for the first time today. I've lived in Sparks, NV for two years now, and my 2-year-old son has struggled with eczema his whole life. Recently, I noticed some flare-ups coming back, so I decided to try adding a few air-purifying plants to our home since I learned that the average house can produce around 40 pounds of dust each year. After doing a little research on TikTok, I was still feeling a bit lost, so I picked up a snake plant and a spider plant. Nick was incredibly helpful--he took the time to explain exactly how to care for them, when to water, how much sunlight they need, and what to avoid. His advice made the whole process much clearer. Thank you, Moana Nursery, for such a wonderful first experience! read more

What an incredible store! I went for the first time today and I spent almost an hour looking around in the greenhouse, and right when I thought it couldn't get better I went outside to see probably the most beautiful nursery I've ever laid eyes on! So many incredible flowers I've never even heard of, beautiful pottery, and some truly breathtaking sights. The plants were absolutely incredible and were only made better by some of the most kind, helpful, and knowledgeable staff there is! In the greenhouse Kira helped me pick out the perfect plant for my daughter and I was blown away by Brian's enthusiasm and knowledge of the plants that do well here! The cashier who rang me up was also incredibly kind and even gave me a couple of tips to give to my daughter for her new plant. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself about this place, almost as enthusiastically as I'll be telling all of my friends and family they have to go! read more

What a beautiful place! Great indoor gift shop with unique goodies. The indoor and the outdoor sections are both chocked full of a wide variety of plants. Have to say they're a bit pricey, but they do have special sales. For instance, I was able to get some BOGO free pansies and a few other small plants that were priced quite reasonably. The staff was nice and very helpful. Overall, a very pleasant place to shop. I'd give it a 5 star if the prices were more competitive with say, Home Depot or Lowe's. read more

Well I am back to Moana Nursery in Sparks for another adventure with repotting my plants. It has been one year since I had my beautiful Mother Spider Plant repotted and it is that time again....as well as new pots of growing plants. Six plants repotted. Thank you to Elora German who has been with Moana Nursery in Sparks for 5 seasons. She lovingly repotted all of my beloved plants with love and care...and a ton of plant knowledge. Thank you to the Five Star Moana Nursery Team in Sparks. You are again fantastic. Julie A read more

The staff always gives 150% customer service and advice for any green thumb questions you may have. Selection is off the hook! So many unique vegetables, fruits and flowers you won't find at the box stores. Shop local! Now after moving to Sparks this is my home base store. Will miss the South Reno stores but it's all good people. Check out the webpage, as they have hundreds of tips and great YouTube videos links to get you on the path to success! read more

Moana Nursery - Sparks - Great staff and products! Shop local. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

So knowledgeable and helpful! We went on busy Mothers Day and expected staff to be few and far between, but there were ample staff, all ready and willing to supply their excellent knowledge to help with all of our questions (about outdoor and indoor plants alike). The array of plans and the informative nature of the layouts and signage (full sun, partial shade, annuals, perennials, etc) was so helpful. The only thing that keeps me from leaving a 5-star review is the prices. (Pretty pricey! But I guess that helps them maintain the competent staff that they have. An enjoyable shopping trip that also boosted our knowledge and increased the likeliness that what we purchased will survive. We'll definitely be back! read more

The employees, especially Elliot, went above and beyond ensuring selection for sale items for distant customers. We always get our pumpkins at this location in October and now will be our Mother's day destination as well. read more

Moana nursery is one of my favorite places to buy for plants. They always have such a great selection of healthy, beautiful plants! Inside the building, they have seasonal items - always beautifully displayed. During the winter holidays, you'll find lots of ornaments, gifts, and seasonal plants like poinsettias. Outside, they have even more plants to choose from and a great variety. I love that they have so much signage about the plants and the employees all are very knowledgeable! read more

I thought this place would be really expensive, but it's not! My husband and I aren't really plant people, but my mother-in-law is. We spent a lovely hour on a Saturday morning walking up every aisle and inspecting what plants spoke to us. My mother-in-law knows a lot about plants that grow in California, but not as much about growing conditions in northern Nevada, and the staff were very helpful in answering our questions and making recommendations. We bought three plants in total, and they are surviving thus far! read more

This is easily the best Moana nursery location in town!!! I'm so disappointed I didn't get her name but there was a staff member working the evening of 11/14 who helped us and she was such a pleasure and made our experience go from great to amazing! Moanas nursery is super knowledgeable about indoor and outdoor plants as well as plant health. You can bring in your plants or even just photos and their team will help figure out the problems. So cool! They also run great specials. Right now house plants are buy one get one free (so of course we got four) and they're giving out free flower buds if you spend over $50! Which is easy to do when they have so many awesome things. They are also giving out free ice apples while they last and they are DELICIOUS! read more

I knew exactly what I wanted here as a friend said they had the Sweet potato vine plant which seems hard to find. They have a great layout outside and so I walked around a bit but couldn't find my plant so asked a friendly employee, Josh, where I might find it. He took me right to it and he left me to choose. They only had about 6-7 left so I took the best two. They only had the light green one. I had wanted the darker one also but they didn't have them. He had mentioned he'd seen them before but they sell out quickly. I thought their prices were a little high, I bought three smaller plants and paid $21 but I guess they're comparable as prices are going up everywhere! I was able to check out outside which was nice. I didn't see the inside store but next time when I have time I'll check it out as it looked interesting! read more

Great selection of plants and home and garden goods. The store is nicely laid out. There is a big section inside for home and garden goodies and wild bird accessories as well. The outdoor space is fairly large with lots of good looking plants, trees, vines, herbs, and more. The associates we spoke with were helpful and friendly. The prices seemed to be slightly high, although I don't have a lot of nursery shopping experience so that's why I left it at four stars versus five. However, the quality seems to be there and you do get what you pay for! Overall it was a fun experience and I will be back to check out more of what they have once the weather is a little warmer. read more

I drove from Carson City to the Moana Nursery in Sparks for their awesome customer service and the quality of trees and plants. I was given personal service by both Nancy and Nick, who were very informative and never tried to up-sell anything to me. My delivery of over 20 trees and shrubs by John was punctual and outstanding. I will be buying more firs, and spruce trees very soon, and you can bet I will be driving to Moana Nursery in Sparks, because of their outstanding quality, selection, value, and customer service. I'll be back!! read more

Great spot in sparks for all your plant related needs. Just went with my family and got a perfect Christmas tree for our house. They have a wide variety sizes and styles depending on what you are feeling. Also the my had a whole crew who trimmed it and netted it up for us. Super nice and friendly people and highly recommended, especially if you like to support local businesses. read more

Moana Nursery has been here a long time. The shop they have down on Moana has been a consistent presence despite many of the other businesses around it coming and going over the years. I prefer the one on Pyramid just because it's less crowded and usually better stocked though the selection is smaller. I got into gardening a few years ago and learned pretty quick that you want to shop around and not buy all your stuff in one place. Moana Nursery is good for getting your actual plants/seeds and fertilizers(the only place I know of in town that sells Fox Farms) but the "garden" stuff tends to be marked up rather high. $25 for a plastic bowl bird feeder?(the stand is another $30) Yeesh. Soil, pots, features, etc can all be had at better prices elsewhere, though if you look around, sometimes you can find a good tool or gloves on sale. The customer service there is generally outstanding. Most people I have talked to there are pretty knowledgeable and if they can't answer your question, they find someone who can. Just a really friendly, welcoming atmosphere. read more

went in to look for ladybugs and came out with some other things I definitely did not need, but had to buy (girl math). Amazing selection of indoor and outdoor plants as well as beautifully crafted garden decor. Went in with a purpose, so I did not have enough time to look around. From what we were able to see, we stillhad a lot left to still explore . I will definitely be coming back to purchase there local goodies. Everything is a little bit on the pricey side, but completely justified. Can't wait to come back and see what goods they continue to carry. read more

Passing by, and wanted to pick up a few plants that were advertised on sale. The place is very lush and big. I decided to ask, since it was my first visit and the gal had to ask several other workers. Unfortunately, there were only two left, but they looked really withered. Some contractor came in and bought all the others! She was able to look at the one entity for my nursery near me, and they had four in stock. I love looking at all the water features and the different plants. read more

Haven't shopped here since they moved into this location, so my first experience here. Easy access as you approach Pyramid. I know they have a larger and more diverse selection when other lesser stores will be sold out. Went here in search of a Japanese Maple. Wanted a smaller one that would grow into its special place in my garden. Found the staff to be extremely helpful and extremely knowledgeable. These are an investment and so needed as much information as possible. Came away with my Maple tree and have high expectations that it will work well! I would go back here to shop and next time will explore their gift shop which looked very lovely and know I would find something there I must have! Was pleased they do require masks or scarves for all. read more

Moana Nursery - Sparks - My new Tsuma Gaki Japanese Maple. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

The new location, which is close to the intersection of McCarran and Pyramid, is simply beautiful. Everything is upscale, from the tile flooring to the dramatic displays. The indoor area and the greenhouse area are both spacious and feature stunning arrangements of plants and products. The staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful. There was ample parking. The driveway can only be accessed from southbound Pyramid (not northbound). Prices here are probably a tad higher than big box stores, but supporting local businesses is important to me, as is being able to rely on the knowledge of the employees. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for in a short amount of time, and received personalized service. It was an enjoyable, quick, hassle-free experience, and I'll return for sure. read more

I'm not a huge fan of going to Home Depot or Lowe's for nursery items. I love going to an actual nursery where the employees actually know how to help and know their information!

I like that they have rewards accounts and you get perks for your purchases. read more

I brought a clipping of a tree in to be identified. I was switched to 3 different workers who said " I dont know what it is" . I asked the last woman; dont you have a plant identifier program available? she tells me "well, I dont have my phone on me but if you want to come in the building I'll try and check. Absolutely horrible, are you guys in business to sell and promote plants or what ? Service and disregard for the customer is the norm these days, anyway we downloaded the program ourselves and had the answer within a minute. A big waste of time after driving 30 minutes from the outskirts of town. You het better help from Home Depot...We will not be returning, lots of employees doing and knowing nothing.. read more

I'm new to to learning about different water requirements needed for different trees in the Reno climate. The gentleman that helped my daughter and I decide on some trees was a very knowledgeable cut to the point kind of guy. The selection was ok this time yet my visit a month ago had a lot more variety of everything. I like their sales on the pottery and house/ garden decor. I believe they guarantee their plants and trees for one year . So far I'm looking forward to my purchase being delivered. Will update with pictures when planting is done and after a year. read more

Headline Review: my go-to place for anything and everything my houseful of plants could need. Hardcore horticulturalists will not be disappointed I've been coming to Moana Nursery on Pyramid for over a year now. As a succulent breeder, houseplant collector, and dinosaur enthusiast I am always ecstatic when I stop in. The staff is incredible and so knowledgeable, espectially Richard and Plant Doctor Michelle. As few months ago I brought in pictures of an alocasia I was concerned about, and Richard reccomended a fertilizer he used on his own plants. Now it's so big I can't repot it on my own. It's my pride and joy, so whenever it needs to move up a pot size I bring it down to Moana and the amazing staff team up to carefully repot it. Yesterday it sized up to a 15 inch pot, and Richard went above and beyond staking and watering it for me. I'm so grateful for this place that I'm powering through a violent hangover to write this review. If plants had emergency contacts, these guys would be it. read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR MOANA NURSERY IN SPARKS! The nursery name needs to be added before the Birds Unlimited name! Just made my first visit to this nursery. Arriving about 12 minutes before closing today. I was met by the manager Michelle who las lots of degrees in horticulture so she was able to give great tree and vine recommendations. She GLADLY took me out back and showed me the Thornless Honey Locust I came to see. And let me know the Virginia Creeper vine will be in soon. She verified that it will grow up a dying tree! I verified that if I bring her a branch she can identify it and if it's diseased she can diagnose it. It's AweSome to discover a KNOWLEDGEABLE nursery woman so close by! I didn't eve realize THEY HAVE TREES at this location! read more

After reading through some of the reviews, it was clear that this business would have more stars if people weren't giving 1 star reviews because of their mask policy. C'mon people, it's science. Everyone there is really friendly and helpful. It probably didn't hurt that I had a puppy in my cart. They have a great selection and were fine holding the trees I bought until the landscaper can pick them up. Jonathon, in particular, was a big help and made us feel very welcome. They also offer 5% rewards, so I'll be back to spend those soon read more

We lost one of our trees this winter so went today to get a new one. We were greeted immediately by 2 young men who were extremely helpful and super knowledgeable and fun to hang out with for half an hour wondering around the place. Yes Moana is more expensive than the big box store but they're local and so much more knowledgeable about what does well in our area. It's worth it to spend a little more to support a local business. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER!! They used to be good here, what happened? We have been here twice in the last two days wanting to buy about 8 trees, we can't get ANY help at all! Employees don't say Hello, they didn't once come over and offer help (and there weren't even any other customers there!) one guy was so rude that we ended up just walking out and took our business elsewhere! We on one our way now to Rail City Nursery. What a disappointment Moana Nursery customer service is! read more

Staff here is so HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE! over the years we have purchased several plants, pots, bags of soil/fertilizer, fountains, decorations, etc. All of what we have purchased is great quality and decent pricing. They have a large variety of plants and have great seasonal sales We have even brought in pictures of plants asking for help and they always do their best read more

I'll start with this: I'm not against masks. I wear one most of the time as a courtesy when in an establishment where it can be difficult to maintain distance. At Moana, when they started requiring masks for the inside a while back, I get that. People are in close quarters and it makes sense because it can be a challenge to maintain social distancing while browsing. I went today and they're now requiring masks for outside, too! On what planet does that make any sense? It's wide, open - in the fresh air. I forgot my mask at home but wasn't concerned because the 10 plants plus garden soil I needed were outside. I had to turn around and leave due to the new requirement. This nursery is a few blocks from my house. I come here at least once most weekends and regularly drop over $100. This overreach will keep me from going back. It's probably a good thing- been meaning to check out other nurseries. read more

I was surprised that they were open, but since they sell seeds, fruit trees, etc., It's great! They are always helpful! Call ahead, because their hours may change. Getting in and out of their parking lot requires extra caution, because there is a lot of traffic on Pyramid. read more

I was happy that there was a nursery so close to my house, but the prices here are ridiculous. They literally have a PLASTIC pot priced at $35. I could buy a similar pot for $1 at the dollar store. Save your wallet from here and go somewhere else. read more

We can not believe a business that sells many items in the Nursery line as Home Depot and Lowes, can have such BAD customer relationship management. 2 weeks ago we went to Moana Nursery for flowers, bird seed, plants and containers, at this time we also purchased a humming bird feeder. We were happy the store gave us a bottle of feed for the humming bird bottle. However, when we got home & filled it. It immediately started leaking. We tried to fix it and worked with it for about a week. Since we live in Incline today was the first day we had a chance to return the humming bird feeder to Sparks. No, they would not take it back unless we had a skew. WHAT!!! We put this on a bank card, our purchases that day were over $100. I offered to bring up my bank card and show them the purchase. NO!! they need a skew to take it back. Crazy during these times we try to support local businesses and not the big box stores. Well, guess where we are going next time!!!! Better prices and and they would have recognized a broken product and exchanged. SHAME ON YOU LOCAL BUSINESS. read more
