Love, love, love visiting and shopping here. It's like little rain Forrest in Dallas. Such a great place for all bonsai and money tree needs. Everyone here is very helpful and knowledgeable in all things green here. They are here to make you succeed in gaining your green thumb. Yes the prices are a little bit more than going to another place like a big chain, but they make up for it in sheer selection, and overall shopping experience. Come by and check them out, totally well worth it. read more

This place has new owners. While they have remodeled the place and it's much easier to walk around in than previously, they don't have nearly the inventory they used to have. I used to purchase bamboo stalks here, which they no longer have. I was told they may get some in next month. I just noticed that they don't have near the amount of plants that the previous owners used to carry. Perhaps they will increase their inventory in the coming months. read more

Sunshine Miniature Trees is a charming place filled with some of the most unique and beautiful plants/bonsais. Mr Sunshine was very kind and his staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Shoutout to Max for helping me find the perfect juniper bonsai for my son in law's birthday gift and repotting it while giving me lots of fun facts on caring for it. Highly recommend coming into this magical place and leaving with a new botanical friend. read more

Very nice selection and great staff. We purchased both trees and pots last spring and are very pleased.

I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience being a first time tree owner as the service was amazing. Eric was extremely helpful at guiding me on what I need to transplant my bonsai tree. The entire process was seamless and quick, and he was very knowledgeable on bonsai trees so I really enjoyed learning a lot about my Juniper Bonsai tree. It's really great to walk into not only a store but to a new world that I wasn't familiar with and being welcomed so warmly by a great staff. Looking forward to coming back! read more

What a gem! Came to Dallas unexpectedly and decided to do a little plant shopping while there. Went to Calloway's originally but was mostly unimpressed, however an employee there recommended this place. They have such an amazing selection of plants, so many bonsai but also many other house plants as well. I love how carefully all of their plants were laid out. It made it easy to see them all and you could tell they were all well cared for. My only regret was my lack of car space because it meant I couldn't purchase some of their larger plants. Another cool plus about this place (especially as a tourist) is that the originally building was built in the 1930s and then they added on more to the building later in the 70s I think if I remember right. Super friendly and helpful staff, well cared for and curated selection, jealous we don't have one like this at home. read more

I had two of my Bonsai repotted and shaped. One I purchased from Sunshine over 25 years ago so it was very large. And the other I created myself over 15 years ago. Adolpho did a fantastic job. Professional quality work. Both trees are now happy and healthy and ready for fall. These look great! Great value. Polite, efficient and helpful service. Mario helped us load the trees into our car so these would arrive home safely. read more

The staff was incredibly helpful! I had a few questions when picking out my first bonsai, and all of them were answered with patience and professionalism. Would definitely recommend! read more

Hard to find and really a bit run down. The guy inside is kinda nice and a bit of a know it all lol which is cool, that's his craft, but I didn't find what I was looking for. read more

I have been a gardener for 25 years. For my birthday, my wife bought me a bonsai from Sunshine. 2 months later it died unexpectedly. Twice. I attempted to return it, but each time, the 2 young redheaded girls that work there, negated my explanation, and proposed false ideas that the liability was solely on me. BOTH times- they said that they didn't have any replacement species because all of them died. SO you sell my wife an $80 plant that dies while ALL the other EXACT plant species die too, and you don't replace mine with at least another plant. Something? Anything? ZERO customer service here. Not returning. Not recommended. read more

Cool shop with lots of bonsai, fig and citrus trees. I bought my Fukien Bonsai and Janet Craig plants from Sunshine Miniature Trees about 5 years ago and they're both doing great!! They help me re-pot and re-soil it every year or so and I also purchase their fertilizer which really support healthy growth year-round. Their staff are all so super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It's a fun place to check out and they also sell a wide variety of planters. They'll also deliver nearby. read more

Despite being relatively friendly, the staff here was really weird about driftwood displays...I pick one up and it has a price tag "24.95" and the guy working says "you know what....that's not for sale". So I keep walking and then pick up another one that says "14.95" and I say "is this one for sale?" To which they say "yes" however when I go to check out they don't want to sell it for the marked price but instead 40 dollars. So suffice it to say..they'd rather have a customer leave having spent NO money than any money at all. Weird flex. read more

When my Someone Special (SS) gets me a Mother's Day gift, he comes here to get me something alive. Truly beautiful little trees, every kind and super reasonably priced. Customer service is ABOVE AND BEYOND. When SS accidentally left the baby carrier inside to take Little Mr. Fussypants to the car, she noticed and carried it outside for me. That was super kind. Great items. Great service. Great prices. And now I have a bonsai in every room of my house. read more

Such a cool place. I had no idea how hard it was to find a bonsai place till I called 2 dozen places and eventually got referred here. The staff was super helpful and I honestly just want to go back and walk around among the trees. It felt so peaceful. I loved that they had a wide range of sizes and prices. read more

I la la love this place. First time going and was blown away by all the amazing bonsai trees. You will definitely leave the store not empty handed. Too many options to choose from. Glad to bought a Brazilian Rain tree. Great customer service, they help you right when you walk and very knowledgeable. Thank you to both girls that work there for helping me. Violet and a younger girl helped me. Credits to the both of y'all. They also have many pots to choose from and will help you design it the way you want with constructions included and also a miniature turtle for long life good luck. Amazing store. You don't want to miss out. read more

This place is such a gem! I stumbled upon it when checking to see what nurseries were in the area, and this was one I had not been to before.

I bought a couple houseplants and look forward to going back when I'm ready to add to my collection. read more

This place is everything I have ever wanted in a plant shop. The staff was exceptionally nice, easy to talk to, gave wonderful advice and never rushed me. The selection is amazing and has the "popular plants" that other "trendy" plant places constantly run out (ie. String of pearls, string of dolphins and heart cacti). This gem is something I have driven past multiple times in my life and never took much thought about it and am sad because this is now my favorite plant shop in the metroplex. read more

Bought my bonsai at ikea (bad idea) and needed some new things to help it out. Didn't know where to go and I knew other places wouldn't have the right stuff for bonsais. Found this place and so happy I did! They have the coolest store with so many bonsais, pots, etc to choose from. The guy helping me knew it all! They gave me so much information and knew exactly what I needed. Learned so much and they were beyond helpful. I got rocks, a fertilizer, soil, and pot. So happy I found this place highly recommend. They also gave me helpful info for my succulent and cactus! read more

I've been here a couple times over the past few years. Everytime I go I wonder why I've waited so long to come back. The staff is helpful and very knowledgable. They'll guide you to a bonsai or succulent that will meet your needs and thrive in the conditions you have. There is a large assortment of species, sizes and price points. Most recently I went for a bonsai tree that would work with a succulent garden. Every staff member asked if I needed assistance in a non-pushy, genuinely helpful way. One of the associates, Mai, pointed me towards an Elephant Jade Bonsai. It was obvious that this is her passion and she alleviated any fears I had about my black thumbs. She helped me find the fullest, prettiest one in the store. She enthusiastically educated me about how to trim and care for the plant, as well as warning signs for over or under watering. There are lots of rooms, nooks and crannies to explore so I recommend coming here with time to spare and discover. This is a great spot to get gifts for "the person who has everything". I've purchased gifts for Bosses Day here on a couple of occasions. I was excited to finally make a purchase for myself. At check out the man I presume to be the owner informed me about the monthly FREE bonsai care class that is usually held on the first Saturday of the month. Call or stop in to sign up to participate! I really appreciate this locally owned business! read more

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We picked up a Pothos and a Fukien tea tree bonsai, as well as some general fertilizer. We came into Sunshine expecting a good selection of Bonsai and was immediately blown away by how HUGE their selection was. Honestly, huge. I had to walk around a few times to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything! We were made to feel welcome and it was clear the staff really had a passion for plants. Amanda and Emily were both very friendly and helpful - even offered my daughter a bottle of water. Now of course when you're buying a plant it's well, alive. So when we were checking out I was surprised to see some care sheets that came along with each plant. Which was incredibly thoughtful and clearly a sign that these plants are very loved and cared for. Can't wait to find an excuse to come back... :) read more

Love this place ! It's been around forever and has always put a smile on my face when I'm here ! They have the neatest stuff !!! A true gem of a place ! read more

I want to be really good at gardening. I fancy myself a 60-something year old grandma in a cute 20 year old's body, great at baking and cross-stitching and growing all kinds of cool shit. Well, I buy my cookie dough in the refrigerated section, my stitches are way uneven, and where established gardeners have brilliant, verdant thumbs, mine as more of a pukey shade of brown-green. That said, I bought four different kinds of succulents and cacti a few months back. I loved them, painted cute pots for them, named them... and promptly killed them. As a replacement, my sweet boyfriend got me the cutest little bonsai in the world for our anniversary... which shriveled up after less than 60 days. Bonsai are not easy, y'all. Not wanting my guy to know I murdered his thoughtful present, I trekked back to Sunshine in hopes that my tree could be saved. I was greeted immediately by an employee who poked, prodded, scraped, and analyzed my tree before pronouncing it Dead on Arrival. RIP, Fukien Tea. When I said I wanted to replace the lil guy, I was swept along in a whirlwind of action. The guy took me to find another (healthy) tree and asked tons of questions about how I'd been caring for mine. Turns out I was doing basically everything wrong-- watering too shallowly, too infrequently, and putting it in a window that wasn't sunny enough before moving it to a place that basically singed off the leaves. Oopsies! I was invited to a complimentary bonsai class at the greenhouse and given plenty of care instructions as the guy moved my new bonsai into my old pot, added some cute gravel, fertilized, and sprayed pesticide. He really knew his stuff. No one tried to upsell, surcharge, or talk down to me-- just tons of options, tons of great advice, and great looking plants. Best of all, I got a do-over! Green thumb, here I come! read more

HIDDEN GEM!! Cannot hype this store enough! If you're looking for a bonsai tree, this place is the place to go. Any of the staff members are quite knowledgeable because they love bonsais themselves. Each of the staffers I've talked to brought personal experience to how to care for the bonsai trees. Don't let the interior dissuade you. It looks kind of rustic, but they make up for it where it counts. read more

Sunshine Miniature Trees - Beautiful Jade Bonsai with Todd the Toad and red rocks for an accent color from Sunshine Miniature Trees. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The customer service was great... until it wasn't. We came here a few months ago to buy a few indoor trees to make our home more green. The person we worked with was great - friendly, offered suggestions, gave us simple care directions, etc. He helped us pot the plants and even added moss around it to make each plant look a little prettier. He told us to give them a call if we had any questions or problems with the plants, and they would help us re-pot or figure out any issues. We bought 5 plants and pots for around $300 and left really excited. Fast forward 4 months. One of our lily plants started to droop only after 1-2 days, even after being watered. We were too afraid to overwater her, so we decided to call the store. We told them the problem, and they just said "bring it in". The lily sat about 3 feet high and was pretty big by now, so we put them in the trunk of our prius and drove to to the store. At the store, we were told that "we transported the plant the wrong way" and now it's "probably sunburned" and most likely can't be saved. They said by the looks of it, it just needed more water than we were giving it. We asked if we could water or re-pot it at the store, and they said they would have to charge us for it. We were FURIOUS. 1) Couldn't they have offered a few suggestions over the phone instead of just saying, "bring it in"? 2) Wouldn't you think they would've told us not to keep it in the sun or offered the right way to transport it? 3) They told us when we bought the plants that they would help if anything ever happened. We took time out of our day to leave work and go take the plant back, only for them to tell us we have to pay for any help. Frustrating experience. We plan on buying several more plants for the house, and definitely will NOT be coming back here. read more

I've been looking for indoor plants for our home, and came to this store because of the good reviews. I spent over $300 on a variety of plants and pots here, and asked questions on how to care for the plants. They told me to call or come in if I ever need help. My peace lily that I purchased here started to droop recently and I called them to see if I was doing anything wrong. The owner told me to bring it in and he'd help see what he could do. I went through a lot of trouble to bring my lily in (large heavy plant and pot) and the owner was unbelievably rude. He chided me, made me feel bad about not knowing how to care for the plant. He refused to do anything to help. He said the plant needed water but he wouldn't water it for me. He said it needed to be repotted but would have to charge me for it. I was in the middle of expressing my concern to him and he walked away, refusing to talk to me. I will never shop here again, and I recommend that you spend your money elsewhere, where they do not treat their high spending customers this way. When I left my house, my plant was drooping but still green. When I got to his store, it looked dead because it was hot outside and I didn't know to not carry the plant in my trunk (open trunk not closed). I never should've brought the plant back, and I don't know why he asked me to bring it in if he wasn't going to do anything to help me. It was very inconvenient to pack into my car, take time out of work, and go to him, but I did because I really care and wanted my plant to be ok. read more

Cute little shop with a good variety of house plants and bonsais. Employees are incredibly helpful and knowledgable.

My new weekend place to stop by. Reminds me of California but it's here at home. Great selection of bonsais, houseplants, cacti and more. All tucked away in a spot that you would never expect to find such awesome plants. read more

Ok. The plants/ trees / shrubs seemed really healthy and abundant. The succulents seemed sad and neglected. And first I just thought it was a small shelf with discounted flawed succulents but then kept seeing more of these sad stretched succies. Inside and on the bottom shelf. Bamboo plants isn't my thing however they all looked phenomenal. Succs & cacti are my thing and I was bummed that some of my faves you had could be in much better looking shape. read more

Was out today in the cold to look for a few small decorative plants to accent my decor. Stopped at a nearby nursery but didn't see a darn thing that caught my eye. Went to YELP and found this treasure tucked away off Greenville next to a liquor store. Went in and had to restrain myself. A whole houseful of plant life, succulents, and trees!!! A fantastic selection of the usual and the unusual in various shapes and sizes!! A very helpful and polite staff; reasonable prices; all the stuff you need...pots, mulch, moss, rocks...all that stuff in one place! I love plants and I think I just found my new go-to for my greenery!! They have classes, give you a care sheet, and deliver too!!! Finding this place made my day!!! Yaaaaas!!! read more

Sunshine Miniature Trees - Bonsai vibes - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Bonsaii and succulent mecca! Great choices, reasonable pricing, and helpful staff.

My advice to potential buyers: "caveat emptor" -- let the buyer beware! I ordered online a miniature Bodhi tree from Richard on 12/30/18. Today, 9/9/19, over eight months later, I still haven't received my tree. That isn't a typo. I have attempted numerous times to contact Richard. Generally, calls and emails weren't responded to, but when they were they contained excuses (too cold to ship, for example) and even more empty promises. In May, when the weather had gotten warmer in Cincinnati, the tree was promised in the next two-and-a-half weeks. No tree arrived. Two more calls in July and August went unanswered. I finally filed a formal complaint with the Dallas BBB. Interestingly enough, Richard called on Labor Day, 9/2/19, saying he'd be sending the tree via Priority Mail "in the next day or so." One week later ... yep, you guessed it. No tree. While I was waiting for Richard to be an honorable, sincere and truthful businessman, too much time had elapsed for American Express to file a dispute and give me a $25.90 refund. (I just finished speaking with AMEX.) Everything in this review is factually correct. Be very cautious in dealing with this establishment! UPDATE: (9/12/19) I just received a refund check from Richard for $25.80. Close enough, given the situation. There was no explanation for the sheisty service that included glacially-slow response times and NO Bodhi tree! I rather imagine I have the Dallas BBB to thank for the reimbursement. While I have my money back, I still stand by my accurate one-star Yelp review. read more
