Love this nursery. Rebecca was very knowledgeable and so helpful in giving me advice for the plants I picked out. They have a huge selection of different varieties to choose from. Reasonably priced. You have to walk the land to see and find the hidden gems. This is going to be my go to place from now on.

THE BEST NURSERY IN OC! I am an un-biased beginner plant enthusiast and not only was the owner incredibly friendly and resourceful, but he offered incredibly fair (and cheap) prices on his acres of land filled with a diverse variety of amazing plants. This place is huge, with rows upon rows of plants from the typical to the rare, exotic and unique. Since he is not a wholesale retailer his prices are incredibly affordable (way cheaper than any store that sells plants). This place is a epic hidden gem that is a must-visit for anyone looking to buy plants, from your typical succulents to exotic vines, trees, flowers etc. Not only does the owner take the time to provide you with everything you need to know about each plant (including maintenance, blooming etc), he listens to your needs in terms of skill level, care/maintenance ability and recommends a variety of uniquely unparalleled plants based what you want and does not try to sell you anything other than what is most suitable to your needs. Since I am a total beginner when it comes to plants-I could have easily been taken advantage of, but that was NOT THE CASE AT ALL! I felt taken care of, well-informed and 100% satisfied with the level of high quality customer service and unbeatable prices! I am so glad I found this place and will be ONLY going here from here for all my plant/gardening needs! I highly recommend this hidden gem-that is incomparable to any nursery/plant retailer in Orange County, offering a limitless selection of diverse plants, affordable prices, and good old family-owned management!

This review is long overdue...We had the opportunity to visit Lisa and Rex at Monroe Pacific Nursery on August 20, 2022. It was such an amazing experience for the whole family. My son was interested in finding succulents that would thrive in our backyard. Lisa and Rex spent the entire time with us, showing us all their succulents. Rex shared his vast knowledge and expertise in horticulture, and provided us so much interesting and valuable information about each succulent, and how to take care of them. Lisa and Rex were so generous with their time. They were very friendly, kind, and thoughtful. They spoiled us by providing us such a wonderful experience. Not only did we have a great time visiting, our succulents are doing well and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Lisa and Rex for being such amazing hosts and providing us beautiful succulents and excellent customer service!!! We can't wait to come back!

We bought 6 Icee Blue Podacarpus from him

I had a reservation at the Farmhouse restaurant, but arrived early and decided to explore a shop I noticed near the side entrance. The moment I stepped inside, it felt like being transported somewhere magical. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit. The boutique shops lean toward the high end, offering everything from home décor and art to unique jewelry. As you wander through, you're surrounded by lush greenery--the central garden and nursery are filled with a stunning variety of outdoor plants. Along one side, you'll find thoughtfully arranged merchandise, from seeds to greeting cards and gift packaging, with a charming pottery section tucked at the very end. Upstairs, there's a lovely deck featuring patio furniture and hanging plants, perfect for inspiration. The pathway leading to the restaurant is especially memorable, with a series of archways that add to the enchanting, almost storybook-like feel. It's also a peaceful haven for wildlife--I spotted sparrows, hummingbirds, and bumblebees throughout the space, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Parking is easy, with plenty of free spaces available. A beautiful spot to stroll, shop, and dine--all in one place.

I like coming here for my plants because they have a great store return/exchange policy. I also visit for any plant health related questions. I recently bought some lady bugs for my garden and they are thriving! My favorite part of coming here is for the succulents. The vairetals they have to offer on-site aren't the rarest but they are definitely the healthiest/happiest. Any and all of their Echevaria varietals grow really well. I bought English Lavender here about a year ago. It's doing very well. I bought a Fuschia here about few weeks ago and I left it in the scorching sun for too long. It's wilted pretty heavily but I got it into some nice morning sun. It's much happier. I'm thankful I had someone here I could talk to and figure out what I did wrong. The Newport Beach location is gorgeous! Just as helpful.

Needless to say I am turned off by broken promises made when purchasing shrubs and will look elsewhere for my trees/ plants. What a disappointment. *Update- just spare yourself the trouble and shop at the Newport Beach store down the way! Jennifer the manager there was more than accommodating and helpful! Ended up getting what I needed and will just go here for my plant/tree needs.

I never realized how nice this store is compared to the San Diego store until recently. My husband and I were in Orange County this past weekend and on a whim I told my husband I wanted to go to IKEA to get some ideas for shelving in our guestroom. What I love about this store is that it has its own parking lot; unlike San Diego where it needs to share parking with Lowe's and Costco, IKEA Costa Mesa has its own plot of land that isn't shared by any other store. Not only that, but everything is really well organized and despite the number of people in the store (basing this off how full the parking lot is), it doesn't feel crowded in this store. I feel like I can breathe here and not have to worry about being behind a slow couple or bumping into kids. The checkout area is busy but there are lanes with cashiers and self-check out. We were out the door in about an hour.

I'm not sure if it's the computer system or the people or both, but something is super inefficient here and it takes on average at least 10 minutes per customer. I dread having to return anything at this IKEA because I know the wait is long. If there are a bunch of people here ahead of you, good luck because it's going to be a long one.
