Selection is great and pricing is reasonable. Metal type plants, concrete figures, pots of all sizes and colors. Plant selection was not great. Employees were helpful and nice. They are closed Monday and Tuesday. read more

Amazing selection of pots, all sizes and colors. The owner was super friendly and helpful. I drove in from Las Vegas to get pots and was not disappointed. Left a happy camper. Thank you to the owner and the young man who helped me load my truck. read more

If you filter these reviews by the 1 stars, know that they are all quite accurate. The older man working there is quite rude. If he hates his job & the customers that much, not sure why he doesn't move on. They have a decent selection for what I was looking for but I won't be back. And while waiting, I got an eyeful of their fridge magnets. Nothing says nice like a christ/manger magnet surrounded by a bunch of offensive crap. read more

If you love your patio, if you love gardening - this is your place. Even when I don't need anything, I drive there just to look around. LOVE THIS PLACE AND the people that work there. The guy that runs it is awesome. read more

It's a no-frills outdoor planter shop Prices are amazing. There's a really great selection of pots of all sizes. Not the best selection of plants or prices for the plants. Soil also is limited. I really just drive out there to buy my planters The owner can be a little gruff, but he knows his product and keeps the prices down, which I appreciate If you have mobility issues, this may not be the place for you as the ground is uneven and sometimes difficult to navigate But again you go there for the prices read more

Great selection of shrubs and pricing. Location is easy to get to from around the county.

I love this place. Go there whenever I need a planter. Their talavera pots are beautiful and you can't beat their prices. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff! read more

Great selection and price. Don't go on a hot day like I did . haha. Don't wear shoes that you can't get dirty

Fantastic crew of guys. Very helpful and great prices on pots. Nice succulents too. This is my go to for the great selection of all sizes and shapes of pots. read more

The owner of this place is a real jerk. Read the other reviews. I was looking for a large fiberglass pot. I looked at their selection and couldn't find it on my own, so I asked for help. I couldn't have been treated ruder by the elderly man working the forklift (the owner). I asked nicely and what I got in return was a series of rude, sarcastic, rhetorical questions that basically said, "Look for it yourself, idiot". If you want kindness and helpfulness, I'd suggest going elsewhere. I have to believe this man is so unhappy that he can't help but spread his toxicity. I'm trying to find it in my heart to feel sorry for him. read more

Found the perfect pot to make a bubbling fountain water feature////great price..worth the long drive From Encinitas to El Cajon

Loved the wide selection of pots and the prices. Will happily come back. Excited to fill my new purchases with plants.

Love their selection of unique succulents. Plants are always super healthy. Also BEST PLACE IN TOWN for pottery and decorative gardening items. And the man who runs it is absolutely adorable and super helpful and knowledgeable. read more

This is the best ever place to buy planters! Designs, colors, shapes and sizes are fantastic. I have bought dozens of products here over the past 14 years and each pot is still a delight to the eye! read more

This place is wonderful. There is no shortage of styles and sizes of pots. The clearance section is what I bee lined to and I wasn't disappointed. I got 6 pots for $50. I can't speak much to needing assistance as the pots I purchased weren't heavy or large enough to ask for help, but the owner Robert assisted us at the register and was perfectly pleasant. He even had a sleepy cat accompany him at the counter. I will definitely come back for more pots :) read more

Very knowledgeable and has a wide selection! I've been going there for years and always find what I need.

I'm so glad I found this place! I needed larger planters and was unhappy with the ones available at some stores I went to. Ugly plastic colors and way over priced. Found this place and got lost in the rows arrows of pots. There was so many great pits and huge ones too. I loved it, momma loved it, my wallet loved it. Make sure you take a walk through the garden as well. So much to see and so many awesome plants. The potting soil is a great price too. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is a great nursery and place for pots and bird baths and all kinds of things. For your garden they even have figurines of pigs that fly. What more could you ask for? The prices are much better than the big box stores and it makes me feel good to shop local and have the money stay in the community instead of to the big box store. It's very calm and relaxing and the employees are very helpful. It's so peaceful just to be there read more

Planter Paradise - What an excellent nursery and pot shop. Much better prices than the big box stores and locally owned. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - El Cajon, California

Great selection and competitive prices. Great customer service as well. Would support love to support this business again

The selection of pots and related materials is far better than any big box store. They have fountains, yard art, soil, and plants that you don't find anywhere else. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and they even help you load up your purchases into your vehicle. The prices are amazing and they have a large clearance section with 50% off many items. We will now have no need to buy anywhere else read more

Multiple options of pots Few options of very reasonably priced fountains People were nice and friendly I was looking for fountains- yes they do have limited options but id u like a design u can pick the color and they can order it from Mexico and will arrive in 5 weeks Really cheaper than other places I will come back to buy some pots read more

I love planter's paradise every pot on our property came from them. New project starting soon for our 20+ fruit trees will need new homes.

My overgrown Monstera fell over and I needed a bigger pot. I heard about Planter Paradise from my granddaughter so I thought I'd check it out. Planter Paradise has a plethora of pots! Cement pots, talavera pots cement, clay etc. There were so many pots I couldn't make a decision. They not only have pots, they have bird baths, statues, garden spheres and benches. The only place I can compare them to is Home Depot and there is no comparison. I thought the prices on some items were more than I wanted to pay, but I definitely will go back. My monstera still needs a pot and Planter Paradise has big pots. read more

I am a "plant lady" and love going here. Great selection and they always have some things on clearance.

We buy most of our pots from Planters Paradise. We just purchased pumice and top soil for our garden the other day. They also have a great variety of succulents, aloes and cacti. The service is great and the people are friendly. I love this place!! read more

The selection is always great. The shelves are well stocked and great experience. I may, (always) seem to catch staff on a hard rough day. It is hard, hot backbreaking, work and I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but rudeness is rudeness. This is and always will be the go-to place just have to understand and appreciate that service might not always come with a smile or kind word. I will always come back due to great items and pricing. read more

Excellent selection, prices and friendly staff. Don't spend your money else where, you'll just be way overspending for the same items. This place is a hidden secret for pottery! read more

Great customer service! That have a wide array of items to find just the perfect planter. Plenty of parking and great prices too! read more

Robert is very helpful and will make sure your purchases (check out their worm castings and soil prices) are packed into your vehicle safe and secure for your ride home. People I've met there come from as far away as Carlsbad-it's that good. read more

The Selection and Value are the best reasons to visit and buy from Planter Paradise. Service varies depending upon who's there on the day of your visit... but all in all I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Extremely large selection at great prices. They also have beautiful birdbaths and water fountains. Customer service is OK. Check them out first before you buy anywhere else. Definitely worth a visit. Not giving it 5 stars because their people skill could definitely improve. Not terrible, but not great either. read more

Amazing place, any planter you could want and prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend.

As a newly christened Crazy Plant Lady, I've been on the hunt for planters at prices that wouldn't break bank. Thanks to my sister-in-law, Plaster Paradise not only had an incredible selection of planters and pots, but had the lowest prices in town! This past Saturday and against our better judgement, the co-habby and I ventured out in the blazing heatwave to feed our plant habit. First off, the guys that work there are awesome and friendly. Their selection is enormous! We found pots and planters of every shape and size you can think of. We ended up getting a large serenity bowl for my succulents and a bag of cactus soil. As we walked to our car, my sis-in-law showed up and we ended up feeling up a whole cart full of pots to take home, lol. The guy who helped her, (I think his name was Caesar?) carefully packed up all of her pots in cardboard boxes so they would be safe on the drive home. Fantastic! We ended up going back Sunday despite the scorching weather and found some awesome pots for our plumeria plants...$8 in the 50% off section! It's a pretty popular spot so parking may bit a bit of a challenge however, people are always coming and going so you should be fine. It can be easy to miss so don't drive too fast or you'll miss it. Thank you Planter Paradise! See you next weekend :) read more
