Fallbrook, Ca. This place is closing its doors soon, I recommend getting here in early October, 2023. Probably best to call and make sure the gates will be open before you make the trip (760-990-4762). The selection of plants is a bit overwhelming. One could easily buy a truck load. I wish the plants were better marked, I would have probably bought more. They are not priced either (there is a general price guide but limited)but if you can get one of the owners to walk with you to the plants in question, they will provide a wealth of information. I think they are probably more geared to wholesale sales to landscape professionals than to small garden hobbyists like myself. The prices are not give away, but very fair. In addition I got some kind of discount that was worth 15%, and to top it all off I got a gift plant priced at $15. The next location will be Yucca Valley, quite a bit further than my current one hour drive. read more

Cacti and Succulents grown with decades of knowledge and care that really shows. I met both owners on an afternoon when the monsoon abruptly ended my visit. However I was able to obtain an amazing spiral torch cactus and a couple other rare finds at amazing values! Call them up to make an appt. They will have advice of growing and amazing plants to thrive at your home...I'll be back for sure. read more

This place is spectacular! We came here to see what plants we can use to redo our garden. Don and Rick are super knowledgeable and helpful.

This place rocks! If you are in need of succulents, definitely worth a trip. We happened to be coming back from Temecula (to SD), so I planned to stop by before they closed for the day. We specifically wanted aloe (front yard turf replacement), and we did not leave disappointed. First of all the selection is very, very good. If you have ever been to Exotic in UniHeights, it's like that but, oh, about 5000x bigger. The prices are great, for example their 1 gallon plants are either $6.50 or $10.50, versus Home Depot for $14.98 or Lowe's for $16.98 (I definitely shop around!). And when we visited they were having a sale so about half the plants we purchased were $4, such a deal. Again, the selection is great. Definitely much greater than any standard nursery, or garden center at a big box store. And the staff seems very knowledgeable, so if you are new to succulents, they can help guide you. They had all the different aloes I was searching for, and we even found a new crazy succulent I hadn't seen before. I usually don't see new ones at this point, so that was definitely a plus! They do take credit cards, and have big swatches of paper to try and save your car from the dirt when you buy plants. read more

I visited a few weeks back and left with a car full of living treasures. I had such a great experience here, from the moment I stepped out of the car I was greeted and given a tour of the nursery! Such nice people and awesome plants! I will be back soon. Be sure to check out their totem pole cactus! read more

Serra Gardens Landscape Succulents - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Fallbrook, California

This place is awesome and Beth who helped us was fantastic. They have a great selection of succulents at fantastic prices. Beth was extremely patient with us as we spent 3 hours picking out our plants and very knowledgeable about all the plants. We wanted to buy more plants but we couldn't get anymore to fit in our car. We'll be coming back with my truck very soon. By the way we drove over 2 hours for this nursery and it was definentley worth it! read more

I highly recommend this place! The selection is amazing and prices are reasonable. I bought several plants to adorn a patio. Beth took great care to find an excellent grouping of plants which would compliment each other yet still have a variety of color and texture. Both owners are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I will certainly be returning here. read more

I visit the garden occasionally and am never disappointed. The different type of plant species is unparalleled. When I had questions regarding the plants and environments for the plants the staff and owner were beyond knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this succulent garden to anyone! read more

Ordered online a few months ago. Received large, unusual plants with a lot of individual personality, which are still doing well even though I was new to growing succulents when I got them. Well-packaged enough that a really fragile plant arrived 99% intact. Sellers were communicative about the process of shipping. Since they primarily seem to sell plants intended for landscaping there were some minor issues which haven't come up for me when ordering houseplants before, like filling out a little bit of extra regulatory paperwork after they arrived in California. The plants I got were easily worth it. read more

I'm relatively new to Fallbrook and feel lucky to have been introduced to Serra Gardens. They have a great selection of succulents at very good prices, especially when compared to the "big box" stores. And then there are sales with even better prices on select plants. I have a desert garden and have purchased several plants to populate it. All have been great additions. Again, Serra Gardens is a great local resource. Keep up the good work. read more

My order was small (4plants) and yet it arrived carefully packed, the plants were very well protected and a kind note of thanks was enclosed. The plants are beautiful, my crassula sarcocaulis is huge, I am so pleased! Thanks! read more

My parents are replacing their lawn with drought tolerant landscaping. The expert staff at Serra Gardens helped us with ideas of motifs and price ranges. Thanks Serra Gardens! read more

I ordered a few dozen plants from cacti.com (Serra Gardens online presence). The plants arrived quickly and each was carefully wrapped and labeled. I appreciated that they included in the shipment care instructions, invoice and a personal note of thanks. It felt like they took great care when packaging the order - in fact it felt like Christmas morning as I unwrapped the packages. The plants themselves were inexpensive compared to other sources and generously sized. Because the plants are shipped 'dry root' I made an effort to get them into soil and water them the same day. If you are ordering online be sure to reserve enough of your own time to do the same. My only complaint was that several of the softer plants arrived somewhat damaged. For example each of the four Agave Attenuata I ordered had several broken leaves and are still looking pretty bad a month later. On the other hand the more rigid plants seemed to arrive without damage. Additionally I think the dry root process must be stressful for the plants as several looked a little peaked compared to similar varieties I already own. These same plants seem now to be recovering. Overall I would order from them again - tho I wish they had more of a variety online to choose from - if so I'd order a lot more. read more

The only place that had large Echeveria Cante. Prices were very reasonable. All of the plants are kept outside so they are hardy and ready to be planted in the garden. read more

Amazing selection of succulents and great customer service!! I'm a succulent fan and was ooh-ing and aah-ing with every step through the gardens. I contacted them prior to going to ensure they had the specific species I wanted and they did. Beth was very helpful on the phone and in person. She gave me a walking tour and shared valuable information about the plants. I will definitely return! read more

Yey for this crew who makes SURE that you get the best service (and the best plant) possible! Two of the plants shipped to my cold weather Boston area were a bit droopy upon arrival. NOT ONLY did these wondderful people replace both plants with magnificent specimens, but they sent along as added bonus two other wonderful plants. They MADE MY CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!! Will order from them again (and again andd....) read more

This place is amazing! They have the best selection of succulents anywhere! They are very helpful and the owners are amazing. Worth the drive to get here. Will be back for sure! read more

This is about their Website cacti.com. I purchased 6 plants from them a few months back. The garbage that arrived was shocking. Horrible quality. Of the 6 only 2 survived (1 barely and looks destined for the compost bin). I have purchased plants from other sites before and never had a problem. But I would stay away from these guys. read more

This is a wonderful, amazing, unique, and special nursery. Beth showed us around and was very helpful. If you have not considered succulent plants before, this nursery will open your eyes to the potential and beauty of these unique species! The prices are affordable and the selection outstanding! read more

This was my first time visiting and was completely blown away by the great collection of cactus and succulents. There are so many rare varieties you don't see very often. I plan to return to this place. The pricing is great too. I love this place! read more

I have never been more disappointed by such POOR QUALITY of online goods, even plants. I received my order of 4 Agaves 2 days after I ordered them but one agave had dried ends - 2 inches deep - and its a 1 gallon plant. The other 3 also had dried, twisted leaves, and I would never have selected these at a live nursery. How could these have been shipped out? If you have nothing of quality to sell, then delay the order until something good is available. In person, I know no one would have chosen the dried up things I got - they look like the ones that get tossed in the trash. I have never had such a bad experience online, and will NEVER buy from you again. No wonder they tossed in a 5th agave free. The public should consider themselves warned from your online dis-service. If I could give you a "0" I would. read more

When I got to Serra Gardens I was greeted by their two dogs. The dogs were happy and bouncy. I walked up the path and owner Beth came out to say hi. I asked a few questions and she called out to her husband Dan who took me thru every square inch of the property. He seemed like a walking encyclopedia on all the desert plants and cactus. So glad I took time to finally stop by on a trip home from OC. Definitely drop by if you are looking for healthy plants or hard to find species. Loved my experience with them. read more

Awesome customer service and selection. Easy to find location in Fallbrook, across from the Masonic Cemetery. Huge selection of succulents and cacti, in 4" to 4 foot boxes. Best prices ever. Staff was wonderfully helpful. If you are looking for the common or uncommon succulent/cacti, this is the place to go. They even ship plants via UPS. read more
