Lovely place with huge variety of plants and great pricing. Hidden gem right here in San Clemente since early 50's

Stopped by this nursery on a whim as I was driving down a side street in San Clemente. I was amazed at the variety and quality of the plants on display. I spoke with Wyatt, and he gave me all kinds of suggestions on my garden, why my lavender wouldn't grow and what would go great with it. I bought some butterfly bushes and some daisies, the prices were very reasonable. I felt I could actually grow these in my garden with success. And if not, Wyatt offered to help me figure out what I had done wrong. I highly recommend this nursery!

Happy outdoor plants

Was pointed to Shore Gardens by a kind local and was not disappointed, this entire place was filled with happy, healthy plants! No easy feat during a serious heat wave Excellent selection of indoor and outdoor plants and the staff was helpful and ready to answer questions. If you are anywhere in the area I highly recommend stopping by and discovering it for yourself

Shore Gardens staff are always knowledgeable. Pleased that Quinn helped me with repotting this indoor favorite.

What is not to love about this nursery, everyone is so helpful and very hands-on, I have never had a problem with any of the plants, vegetables,. I always buy my milkweed every year from them.

My daughter, sister and I happen to fall upon this garden shop while searching for a parking spot. What a cute find too! It's a bit bigger than it appeared from the street. Inside the main store you will find the fertilizer's and such along with some indoor plants, beautiful ones too. There is a door that will lead you outdoors where you will be surrounded by beautiful arrangements and potted plants and flowers. You will find them hanging on the walls, placed on the shelves, and on the ground. During our visit there were three employees that were checking on you asking if we had any questions. They were very friendly, knowledgable and very helpful. An example of helpful, instead of pointing in a direction where a plant you asked about, they walked you to it and if it wasn't there, they continued to look for it until it was located. You will find and array of succulents and others plants you may or may not find in your local garden store. I noticed more plants that I didn't find in my home and garden store. I did find the prices on some familiar plants to be more than what I am used to seeing. But, this may be expected considering the location of the spot. The plants are well taken care of as well as the grounds. While we were there, all three employees were caring for the plants. I did purchase a succulent and a clay pot with the base which I thought to be a reasonable price. And, what a nice surprise when I checked-in, a free 2 inch succulent! So don't forget to check-in. There are places to walk to and enjoy a bite before or after stopping at Shore Gardens. I know I would come back here to take a peek and even make another purchase. I know I could say the same for my sister and daughter. Thank you guys for making our visit to the Shore Gardens a pleasant one.

Since my first review we've continued to frequent this nursery because we just love it! My husband gifts me with plants and flowers from there which always makes for the best surprise.

I am a long time resident of Dana Point and love to support local, family run businesses…read more Unfortunately, my experience with Dana Point Nursery has been consistently disappointing, and almost entirely due to customer service. Over the years, I have found the owner, Brooke, to respond to most requests with some variation of "no." Do you carry a particular item? No. Can you order something specific? No. Can I exchange something? No. Can I return an item I purchased just a few hours earlier? No. The most recent example was a simple request for a 10-gallon plastic pot. Last week, I was told they were out of stock and to come back after Friday. When I returned this weekend, they still didn't have one. While walking through the nursery, I noticed a used 10-gallon pot and asked whether I could buy it. The answer was no, and I was told to come back next week. The problem wasn't that they were out of stock. Businesses run out of products all the time. The problem was the complete lack of initiative to help solve the customer's problem. A simple offer to order one when I first visited, or even an attempt to suggest an alternative, would have turned a frustrating experience into a positive one. Instead, I went to Armstrong and bought what I needed there. What makes this particularly disappointing is that Dana Point Nursery depends on the support of the local community. Most people want to support independent businesses, but customer loyalty is earned through helpfulness and service. Unfortunately, after several experiences like this, I have decided to take my business elsewhere.

Adam was amazing at coordinating all the many jobs to be done. We are so pleased with the work, Mario did such a thorough job, he works hard and with precision. The concrete driveway and curbing came out so beautifully. We love our new DG pathway with the mower's edge curbing. They filled our horseshoe driveway with 3/4 crush rock and we've gotten so many compliments from our neighbors. They installed an automatic irrigation system, which makes life much easier not to have to worry about turning water off and on. We opted for single trunk Crepe Myrtle trees in every color available. They all look great and have acclimated well to their new home, even in this heat. The work was completed in three weeks. Fast, clean, reliable workmanship and just a fine young man in charge of multitasking and handling it all. There were a couple of minor issues that we easily worked through. Communication was easy and the overall price was right! Thank you Adam and your team for making our home look welcoming and improving the curb appeal!

Water fountains and list goes on...The price was cheaper than the other nursery that usually I go so it was reasonably priced...The workers were gem...So kind...They were so patient and knowledgeable...This place is one of the places that you can find CITRUS tree but you can bring out to the nursery and you need tell one of the employees to keep it for you aside (due to citrus quarantine). As you know bringing them out could spread problems like citrus greening disease or even pests to other healthy trees...So be cautious! Im happy that they had the tree so no problem to keep it aside till the shopping is done. Citrus pricing was great for example: 7 Gal was $79.99 plus tax and 15 Gal was $249.99. So great bargain. Inside, also is therapy...Gorgeous decoration and they were so selective about every piece they sell so it was an enjoyable shopping experience. Also, i love their return policy they have 1 year exchange or store policy and i attached it for review. I ended up buying lot of cute things that i didnt have plans to buy but its ended up another great selection to my little garden. There is also a big parking lot so no worries to find a place and YES its crowded bit you can manage it easily.
