Jester's Crown/Boston Fern
Annette C.

This place is great! In honor of Earth Month we decided to check out the Rain Forest Nursery and pick up a plant for our home. This nursery is well stocked with beautiful, well kept plants and trees as well as an imaginative selection of garden decor and a variety of fountains. They carry a broad selection, from plants that are indigenous to the area to exotic varieties that will need special attention, and there are new arrivals throughout each season. The staff is laid back and friendly too, and you can tell that they love what they do. I'm going back soon to pick up a Calathea Roseopicta. The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis Exaltata) that we got from them is thriving and beautiful and it has many fronds still unfurling. Can't wait to go back for some more plants and maybe even a little fountain.

Came here on a hot day. We were in the hunt for some new plants. Mainly looking for okra plants and calamansi tree. This place has a large variety of plants and fruit trees. We were able to find what we were looking for. Overall we ended up just getting an African marigold plant. Will need to come back here to explore when it's not so hot.

Rain forest nursery is absolutely gorgeous. As you wander through the nursery, there's surprises at every corner. The serene pathways are filled with up cycled antiques and so many fun things to look at. Love turtles and koi around one corner, and a bird Avery around the next. Also, if you wander to the far back... you'll find a large tortoise and a bunch of friendly goats! The owner is super friendly and greeted us with a grin as we walked past. Their variety of plants is pretty impressive for this area. Vegetable garden starts, herbs, roses, shrubs, trees, succulents, various green house plants, and an entire new area dedicated to house plants. I scored the cutest little zebra plant, an aged terracotta pot, and some unique succulents to add to the collection! I have a feeling I'm going to become a regular here!

Diseased ficus I brought home... no refund given.

I found this gem while visiting my mother. I have over 60 house plants, and I'm very experienced on how to care for them. I had purchased the last three variegated ficus triangularis, and was very excited to get them home. They have had the same amount of water and sun. Two of the plants are thriving. But one has been losing its leaves since I brought it home. The plant is obviously diseased. I called today to see if they could do anything for me (if i could return in this particular situation) and was told that once the plant leaves the store they are no longer responsible. Then the girl that answered the phone proceeded to try to school me and how to take care of plants. And that they might not be on the same watering cycle and I may have overwatered it or under watered it. I had to sit and listen to her before I told her that I would no longer be coming to the store. I understand if I killed this plant. But it's very obvious that I did not. On another note, all other nurseries that I go to, some being higher end and a lot more expensive, have a absolute wonderful customer service. If anything goes wrong with the plants, they take it back for a full refund. Regardless of what happened. I will no longer support this business. That's slimy and just a really bad way to run your business. Very disappointed.

This nursery is awesome! Jonathan and his team / family business located in Manteca was able to locate a Pudica / Mimosa plant for a special gift. I have been looking for this plant for 6 months with no luck or it was very expensive to ship. I've called them each month until they were able to locate this plant and they found some for me, as they said they would do on the request for supply demand. Another name for this plant is called the shine plant due to when you touch it the plant leaflets close and open up again after 5 minutes. The price for one plant was $10, man I hit the jackpot, let me order the whole tray since you guys went out of your way because the kid's school can have one in Botany class to study. Thank you again Rain Forest!

I picked a really hot day to explore the nursery. Which was a shame because everywhere I loked, I saw something interesting. It probably bigercthancyou think. I didn't realize the space was so deep. They have a nice selection of everything you would expect from trees, to pots, to gardening tools and acessories, to both indoor and outdoor plants. It's clean and welcoming and the staff ( at least on the day I was there) is young and energetic. Recomended.

Says $7. Was charged $7.99. What?

I had originally posted a review years ago but I was intimidated to remove my review by both the owner and a "friend" of his who harassed me over Yelp for a whole week before I blocked her. I said I would never go back here after my first terrible experience, but I decided to give them another chance. That's when the owner spotted me and said he wanted to "talk." I left instead. He had years to "talk" to me over Yelp but didn't. Instead, he tried to intimidate me in person. I felt bad and removed the review but honestly, looking at the other reviews, it wasn't just a fluke. If he likes you, he likes you. If he doesn't, you're on his black list for speaking the truth. SUMMARY OF OLD REVIEW: The short of it is, make sure you get charged the price listed and that they give you correct change. They will slyly charge you extra and give you incorrect change to make a buck.

Friendly and great customer service! They are constantly smiling and greeting you each time. Every time I visited you can always count on Jonah, Kathy or the others to help you. Kathy helped me make some real life plant decisions :) You can either easily get what you need right away or get stuck there looking at everything. They have such a wide selection and if they don't have it they'll get it next week. This nursery is very organized and clean. They do a great job with maintaining it. Oh and you have to check out the birds! They also created a new section for the indoor plants. Tip: they provide plastic covering for your car.

All kinds of guava trees (I didn't even know there are different kinds) lol

What a beautiful nursery! We are currently exploring options on what trees and flowers to plant for our backyard project at the end of April, so we decided to visit the rain forest nursery. This place did not disappoint! We even came home with two indoor plants. They have so many great tree selections. I think it's helpful that they have tags on how tall the trees would grow (mature size). They even have signage of different fruits for different seasons. Their staff was super helpful and friendly. We've gone to a few nurseries before, and I must say this is my fave of all. Even my toddler loved it here.

We are just some spoiled Bay Area folks who have plenty of options because of where we live. Bring us to Central Valley and here we are scrolling our phones typing in "Events in Stockton" just to see what comes up. While we did see something called "Wet and Wild on the Delta" (turned out to be a swinger party) and a free Tai Chi flow class, all of us had to laugh. We gave up on scrolling and one of us had the brilliant idea to go find some plants. Thanks to the trusty Yelp app, we came up on this gem of a nursery. This is a huge outdoor enclosed space with rows and rows of full vibrant plants. They even had a mini succulent that I'd only ever seen in Half Moon Bay (Crassula Buddha if you're curious.) I'm not a plant person per se, but I can appreciate plants and all the different varieties which is what made this place so fun to walk around in. From flowers to herbs, trees, foliage, and the cutest succulent collection, I couldn't be happier seeing it all. We had the pleasure of meeting Jeff (the owner) who also helped us with our questions on how to take care of the plants we took home. I can't say that this was the most exciting thing to do on a Memorial Day weekend but I was definitely "Plant Happy" walking out with my baby succulents. They are now happily sitting next to my other 3 succulents that I've managed to keep alive for the past few years. It's the little things in life..

Ok so I'm at Lowes looking at houseplants and see an oddball…read more I'm like, I paid XX.XX for a rooted cutting! Here's the entire plant for almost half that. Seriously. For under 17 bucks I bought a mini monstera (rhaphidophora tetrasperma), a a beautiful vine that can get long and grow across a room. It was very healthy and well foliaged. Not all leggy like some nurseries put out. A Fisher sticker on the pot got them this review.

When I entered the office, no one had their masks on. I asked to open an account and had a receipt for my seller's permit which included my permit number. They turned me away saying that I needed my actual certificate. When I asked the woman at the front desk, where I could obtain a copy of my certificate since I was not sent one in the mail, she did not know. The other woman present who I assume is responsible for opening accounts then told me "Department of Equalization". When I asked if there was a way for me to print it at their office they told me no. I then asked to briefly view the will-call area of plants to get an idea of inventory and was also told no. After persisting that it would be a quick peek in and it was important to see their availability before opening a business account, the woman finally agreed to radio down to the will-call area to see if I could view. She finally agreed to let me see the plants and was very adamant about me not taking any longer than 5 minutes because the employee in the will-call section was "very busy and has stuff to do". When I arrived to will-call, the woman there was EXTREMELY nice, told me I could take my time and would answer ANY questions that I have and was literally the only employee I interacted with that was kind and helpful. After driving almost 2 hours to get to the nursery, and driving another 2 hours back, I came to find out that all I had to do was log into my online account to print the certificate. How does a business which operates by opening accounts presumably almost every day not know this?
