What a gem to find this family owned nursery in the heart of Poway!…read more The nursery is MASSIVE! I could spend hours here looking at all the different plants, trees, and flowers. They have an extensive selection to choose from and if you don't find what you're looking for, they will help you find it. Their prices may be a little higher for some items compared to corporate stores like Home Depot but the quality justifies the price. For some other things, they are actually the lowest price. The nursery is clean and organized with plenty of workers to help assist you with picking something out, answering any questions, or helping you load things into the car. I was in and out within 15 minutes! The parking lot is plentiful so no issues there. For parents of little ones or those who love watching mini trains, they have a huge mini train track set up outside in the back by the bonsai trees. A fun and free entertainment to keep your kids occupied while you shop. We bought an apple tree so hope it's fruitful (crossing fingers)!

Plenty of people working to help load or answer questions. The prices are higher than big box stores, but your not going to find this kind of variety and different sizes at any box stores. I feel that the higher prices are justified based on selection and the customer service

Daniel was very laid back and welcoming, and picked the plants I wanted from his online catalogue. The plants he has, are mostly grown from seed and they have the most beautiful vibrant colors I've ever seen. He has quite the collection, and I'm sure anyone will find something they like. P.s. bring lots of cash, you're going to want to buy lots!

The succulents are reasonably priced based on rarity and size. It was a little unconventionally and a test of patience to pay by check and wait for them to receive the check before they would process the order but it was well worth the wait. I've ordered succulents from quite a few places and Daniel's has the best shipping rate and best packaging to keep the succulents from tumbling around and getting damaged during the shipping process. The succulents arrived undamaged. All through the process, Daniel sends personal emails to let you know when each milestone is met (order received, payment received, package shipped). He also provided some care instructions.

Bryan listened to my concerns, asked about my equipment setup, and recommended the exact right combination of intakes, pump, filter, and UV light. Rather than do the DIY thing again, Justin came to my home and completed a totally perfect removal and replacement, and almost immediately my water popped clear. The system has been running over a month, and with a bit of spot-on consultation from Katy, I've never enjoyed my koi pond as much! I'm adding some special-order hybrid water lilies that Stanley recommended, and can't wait to see them in my pond.
