Soil
Lilian W.

Home Depot's nursery section is a fantastic place to shop for plants, with knowledgeable and friendly staff who are always willing to help. The selection is excellent, with beautiful shrubs, herbs, and flowers that are in full bloom. Everything looked well-maintained and thriving, making it a great spot for gardeners of all levels. Right now, they have great deals on ever-bearing strawberries--$3.88 for a six-pack (normally $5.98). Their garden performance plants come primarily from the Burpee brand, which is known for quality. The pot and planter selection is also extensive, though not necessarily the cheapest. However, if you're looking for soil, this is a great place to buy. The Miracle-Gro garden soil deal of 3 for $10 is better than what I've seen at other stores. On a Friday afternoon, the store was busy, and the checkout lines were long, but the efficiency of the staff helped keep things moving. There's plenty of parking available, though the lot itself didn't feel the safest. I noticed groups of people--likely construction workers looking for gigs--wandering around, along with some unhoused individuals near the area. While this didn't directly affect my experience, it's something to be aware of if you're shopping here alone or at night.

Employees are friendly and will help you look for the item you need! Good selection. Garden section is cute.

My tree all assembled so easy and waiting for the ornaments.

I went in last night to buy a Christmas tree that was on sale. There were none on the floor of that model. So I asked an associate, Angel, if they were out of them. He went to the floor and there were none to be found...then he went to aisle five and looked on the high stacked ones for it...none there. Then he went out in the garden area and found some on a pallet. This very happy customer walked out with the Christmas tree I wanted and very impressed with the customer service from Angel !

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. None of the staff wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing some stuff from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is fricken huge. Some spots are smaller than others so be careful where you park. Store & Staff: The store itself is very neat, clean, tidy, and organized. The staff here are very kind, friendly, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Fernando D. "Manager"

I went to the Home Depot at 9700 Lower Azusa Rd, El Monte, CA to buy a tool that was clearly priced on the rack, but manager Fernando D refused to sell it to me at that price. When I asked why, he wouldn't give an answer and instead refused me service and told me to leave the store. He kept threatening to call the police but never did -- because there was no reason to. I stayed calm and respectful the entire time. At the end, he even said, "It's fine, I'll wait until I close and you can't buy anything." This was unprofessional, discriminatory, and humiliating. No customer deserves to be treated this way. I hope Home Depot reviews this incident seriously and holds this manager accountable.

David C.

What can I say. They're there when I need something and they are fairly organized and pleasant. Their app helps with the lack of service, but sometimes it's easier with technology than finding someone.

They answered all of my questions about my plants, recommended what I needed, and even suggested more affordable options. I also got a healthy cucumber plant and received some coupons, which was a nice bonus. I forgot to ask the name of the tall older gentleman at the register, but he was incredibly helpful. Thank you! I'll definitely be back for the orchids--they're beautiful, and the nursery has an amazing selection of plants.

DO NOT GO TO THIS NURSERY!!! TOTAL SCAM!!!…read more This place is a total rip-off! The people here are dishonest, rude, and have absolutely ZERO customer service skills! They NEVER tell you upfront that all plants are FINAL SALE -- NO RETURNS, NO REFUNDS! They conveniently leave that part out until after you pay. Seriously? When you buy a bad plant and try to return it, they come up with every excuse in the book to refuse your return. Instead of fixing the problem, they give you attitude and even threaten you! The staff are rude as hell, and the supervisor is just as bad. Nobody wants to take responsibility for anything! They're happy to take your money, but once there's a problem, they don't give a damn about you! I will NEVER come back to this place, and I strongly suggest you stay away too. Don't waste your hard-earned money here! There are plenty of other nurseries that actually know how to treat customers. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! THIS PLACE IS NOT WORTH IT!

The original owners are now long gone, but Mike has continued running the business in the same style and fashion as the original owners. Mike is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The company doesn't need to advertise; his customers' good words does that. If Mike doesn't have what you need, he can get it for you or send you to another nursery. The nursery is not a retail establishment; however, if you are planning to redo your yard and need a lot of plants, you can send your landscaper to Sakaida and Mike will work with him, or you. Or if you want a couple of big trees. If you want just a few plants, go to San Gabriel Nursery; they are a great outfit. Sure, you can get plants cheaper at Home Depot, but their sales people aren't nurserymen and they really don't know anything about plants, soils, fertilizer, growing seasons, watering, etc. If you want to buy a tree, Mike is going to ask "Where are you going to plant it?" I was going to buy a couple of large mulberry trees and plant them in the front yard and he warned: "Don't plant it near the driveway or sidewalk...as it gets older, it is going to raise them!" Mike saved me from a disaster. You won't get this kind of advice at Home Depot.

Mimosa Nursery is one of those places you almost have to experience for yourself…read more The inventory is impressive. I've picked up a miracle fruit tree, passion fruit, and wax apples here, and I'm already planning to come back for a sapodilla and sugar apple if he has them in stock. If you're into rare fruit trees, you'll probably find yourself wandering around longer than you planned. The owner reminds me of Deebo from Friday (the movie). He's usually cruising around the nursery on his beach cruiser with a serious look on his face, making rounds and checking on the trees. He isn't the type to walk you through the nursery or give you a guided tour. If you have questions, you'll probably need to flag him down yourself. The funny thing is he kind of grows on you. His answers are usually short and to the point, and if you're serious about varieties, you'll want to do your own research because the labeling can be a little sketchy and his answers aren't always crystal clear. What won me over is that he's fair on pricing and willing to negotiate. On larger trees, I've been able to bargain him down close to 30%, often even a lot more. That's getting harder and harder to find these days at other nurseries. It's definitely not the polished nursery experience you'll get at some of the other places, but that's part of the charm. Good inventory, good deals, and a memorable owner. I'm not making this stuff up. You just have to come experience it yourself. Maybe go on a Friday! :P

When we arrived, we realized we went to the wrong location (our first visit to Mimosa Nursery was somewhere else apparently!) But we still found what we needed. It was a little hard to find at first, so when you arrive, you might not really see the entrance, so I'll attach photos of what to look for. We were the only ones there, got help when we needed it, and found what we were looking for. It's self-guided; no one greeted us or spoke to us until we needed someone to talk to. The people we were speaking with were knowledgeable about their plants and helpful in packing it so dirt wouldn't fall out. Super easy for us to get in & get out, and I'm sure we'll be coming back again for more!

This place is a hidden gem minutes away from my house. Do not come here expecting printed prices,…read morelabels, caring instructions, or helpful retail assistance. If that is what you require, go to Lowe's. The prices for plants here cannot be beat. Most are priced by the size of pot, and a gallon pot ranges between $2.50-$5.00 (in my experience). I believe the 5 gallon pots are just a few bucks more. Today, something strange happened. A woman who was working there approached me and said I couldn't buy the plant I was holding, it was hers. I was confused and asked if this was a public nursery, as I had bought from here before. She said yes, but the plant I was holding was her houseplant. I asked how I could tell which plants were for sale, & which were hers. She said the plant that I had, plus the plumerias, were her personal plants. I asked why they were here & not at her house & she said because of the greenhouse. Then she suddenly turned course & offered to sell it to me. She told me to follow her & I did, & she led me to the owner. She let him know I wanted to buy it. I had a collection of other plants I intended to buy gathered by the trailer, and I told him that & asked how I could tell which plants were hers & which plants were for sale. Turns out, they're all for sale. I got 6 beautiful gallon plants for $20. Cash only, great selection. This place has so many butterflies flying around, it's not crowded , & it is refreshingly clear of corporate retail bullshit, I can't recommend it enough. I have so many beautiful thriving plants thanks to this nursery.
