    Osborne Prolific Fig and Gem Avocado

    I just happen to be in the area and enjoyed dropping by to see the variety of healthy plants on the property as well as the specific plants (Gem Avocado and Osborne Prolific Fig) to purchase. Next time I'll call for assistance since it's a working nursery and I just happen to meet a friendly staff member available near the entrance area. This nursery is for gardeners who appreciate price, location, and instant gratification for exotic as well as common plants available on site rather than purchasing online.

    Location is easy to find right off the Main Street Atlantic ! I came Here for some herbs and aloe ! Lots of parking . They had so much to choose from in every kind of plant . We went for herbs picked up lavender . Rue. Lemon Verbina. Salvia and ALOE Vera ! Would recommend the location. . I paid in cash but they also take card I think . I will say good value for for money I'll be back ! Service was nice they helped with questions I had .

    I have been waiting to get my hands on the vanilla ice cream tree for months now. They close at 5 but Ricardo was sweet enough to stay open for me to grab the tree. The tree is extremely healthy. I put it in my hatch back car. And heaved it up my apartment and not a single leaf fell off. It was a fair price. Absolutely recommend!

    Yes they deserve all those 5 star reviews! My friend heard about them through her Lon Beach Gift box subscription and we came by on a Sunday afternoon. Long time employee Walter showed us around and gave us some planting tips as well. I picked up a snow bush for $10 and my friend got a jamaica plant and some succulents. We also were allowed to choose an succulent gift as well. You should come here too.

    We've been at Ricardo's twice now and we are planning on coming back again and again. We've bought several fruit trees that are doing wonderful in our backyard. (They offer next day delivery.) My husband loves their bonsai trees, since they are not only gorgeous but incredibly affordable. Ricardo, Freddy, and two other knowledgeable ladies were of great help! They provided care instructions, age information and what would work together. I found some rare fruit plants and they have a nice collection of indoor plants. I love how honest and dedicated they are to the quality of their trees/plants. I really wanted a rare fruit plant tree the first time we visited, but, their staff was reluctant to sell it to me due to it not looking so well, and today it looked healthy and came home with me. :) Im so glad I found Ricardo on Facebook! He responds immediately!! Definitely a place to check out!!

    We liked the staff. Even though their masks weren't always on. They were very helpful and nice. However, the $90 Christmas tree we bought with the stand in place... a damn mess. They hammer nails through the wood legs, into the green water tub, and into the tree trunk. These holes should be sealed. Ours were not. I called in and was told that they've been selling trees for 13 years and never had that happen. Well my living room has a huge water spot showing that it can happen. Lesson in customer service- if a customer calls in and they have a valid issue, you rectify that concern and keep the customer. You don't tell them "that doesn't make sense" and then offer nothing in return.

    Pre and post painted alebrije -  Paint Your Own Alebrije Workshop!!! This is what I created.. rainbow kitty

    I took one of Ricardo's Nurseries super fun Saturday workshop classes with my mom and sister! We did the combo class because we got a discount for signing up for both classes they were hosting that day! The first one was painting your alebrije at 10AM where we picked our own hand carved wooden Mexican folklore statue (like the ones in coco!!) we had such a fun time painting them!! We grabbed lunch around the corner at this cute and trendy little center and At 2 we started the ice cream workshop!!!!! SOOO YUM and all natural ingredients. Sad part was we didn't take enough pics :( fun fun fun for the whole family!

    Great prices with amazing staff at Ricardo's nursery. Everyone was so kind and informative, and there was a lovely selection of plants :)
    Arianna U.

    The prices are really great and everyone was very kind and informative. This was my second time coming here with a friend and we both left happy with new plants to nurture ^^ They have a nice selection of good sized fruit trees and easy starter plants among other varieties of plants, I would definitely recommend this location!

    Love this place! I buy their small succulents for my terra cotta display planters. Excellent customer service. Their prices and selection is top-tier *chef's kiss*

    many types of aloe and agave
    Jessica S.

    Big selection. Nice, helpful workers who are easy to find and flag down for help. Lots of different succulents, SOME houseplants, and other kinds of plants. I took a ton of pictures but I have uploaded some here with captions so you can see the diversity of their plants. Disclaimer: I have visited my share of South Bay nurseries so while this place is not bad in any way, I will say that there are other cheaper nurseries with better-cared plants that are not far from here. There are a lot of random weeds in their pots and I did see some mealy bugs in some succulents in the front so be meticulous when looking through the leaves. The houseplant selection is kind of lacking (just one type of pothos - golden) and expensive ($35 for a small-medium monstera) compared to big box stores. I leave a positive review because I did find one of my wishlist plants here and I also got a free 4-inch succulent through Yelp so I had a happy experience.

    Plants from Ricardo's, super healthy!

Where you pay they have everything you could possibly need to start a garden, nutrients, fertilizer, food for your plants, trellis, pots and even more. They even have quality seeds as well. It's a well rounded Nursery and YES we travel 30 minutes to just come here. When you find a great place the drive doesn't matter. Thanks for always making our experience a great one!

And many of us also enjoy having colorful plants around our home, our gardens, indoors, and outside... plants soaking up the Southern California, sun and thanks to complex network of waterways underground we have water too (thank you, Owens Valley!!). When you've had your share of food and culture I suggest you beautify your home with the wonderful plants from United Plant Growers on the west side of Long Beach. This freeway-friendly location offers amazing deals and a super amazing selection / variety. The workers are helpful although it's largely a do-it-yourself operation. Walk the yard, walk the greenhouses, walk across the street where there are bigger plants, bring a sun hat, bring boots or shoes that can get muddy, and have at it! You will undoubtedly load up your cart with many wonderful and luscious plants that are seriously, 1/4 the price of Home Depot and H& H nursery. You will seriously love this place. Tell your friends and neighbors and let's all beautify our homes together!
