    This place has the best plants and wide array to choose from. My home looks like an oasis thanks to…read morethis nursery and huge shout out to Chris for being super sweet and helpful. Chris was extremely kind, was welcoming in his approach and also very helpful in getting everything to my car. Thank you Chris! This nursery hands down has become my favorite one in LA -- this is how you do a plant experience. Buy your plants here, you and your wallet will be glad you did!

    "Oh, Mickey…read more.. You're so fine! You're so fine, you blow my mind! Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey!" Mickey Hargitay Plants is the coolest little big plant store, plant nursery, garden center and serene landscaping places I've ever seen. From the pure vibrant vibes to the incredible staff that make this gem thrive. Tucked away in Hollywood on the cusp of West Hollywood off of Sycamore Ave and Fountain Avenue, just a small skip east from La Brea Avenue. They're open from 9 AM until 5:30 PM all 7 days of the week. And carry plants, planters, gardening essentials and wonderoud things of all shapes and sizes. I've been passing by frequently for nearly two months on my way to work usually before they're open or after they're closed on as I make my way home and finally got to stop in and explore. That wave of calm, relaxation and vibrance that being around nature and all it's planty goodness lives here in abundance. Explore in person, place orders for pick up or even delivery. Mickey Hargitay has a rich history to match it's ambiance since it's birth in 1980, starting off with succulents, cacti and their own macrame designs Voted one of the best places to buy plants in 2015. Featured in the L.A. Times in 2016. Featured in Voyage LA in 2021. Not to mention a great spotlight in 2025. Founded and owned by Mickey Hartigay Jr. a fellow Sag and plant lover like myself. He and every single person here is a gem, I picked up on nothing but good energy even after the end of a long day and rainy weekend everyone here does their best to bring a slice of joy to each person. Ringing up my assortment right as they were closing they still didn't miss a beat. Hoping to stop in a lot more (scheduling pending) and get to know everyone, find more plants for the house as well as a new plant for my boyfriends place of even bring him in to explore. Pup friendly. Family friendly And very much open to all. Recently started following their Insta and I'm "obsessulated!" Easy parking in the neighborhood, street parking primarily or an easy stroll in closeby, riding the metro or parked off La Brea. Four new very healthy plants in various sizes for under $20... Insert all the heart eyes and plant emojis here!!

    Trustworthiness is broken into two parts: sincerity and competency. Ryan, the owner, fails to meet…read moremy minimal expectations with either. If you're persistent enough to spend two months texting Ryan -- and DMing him on Instagram -- you might manage to get a reservation to view the store. But, I highly recommend you save your time and shop elsewhere. They may have some pretty plants (i.e. 40-year-old spiral aloe), but the selection is rather homogenous and disappointingly limited. If you find some items that you like, you won't be given the prices same-day (they make most of their money renting plants and apparently set prices on a whim after judging prospective clients). I selected one pretty plant with aerial roots, grudgingly justifying the price tag and $100 intracity delivery fee. The invoice for payment was sketchy on multiple levels: first Ryan forgot to include one of the attachments, then he asked for my credit card details all written down (no online payments accepted), then he falsely promised more times than I could count on one-hand's-fingers to deliver the plant that day. Then, a month later, he said the payment he was just charging didn't work on the card (which was new but activated and shouldn't've been a problem), and then the replacement card didn't work either (really must be an error on his end). After several months of me patiently waiting on him, our interaction frustratingly ended with him accusing me of wasting his time, calling me names, and terminating the sale. Their 2.5 star rating is far too generous! Edit: The second card not working was my mistake as I didn't realize/forgot my bank had issued a replacement. Nevertheless, their response to my well-deserved review should confirm the rest.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW 1/6/2023: We purchased $15,000 worth of plants from Ryan. The first problem was, he…read morerefused to take Amex, and in my experience, the only time a company won't take amex is because of their exceptional customer protection. The only way he would have taken the card is with a 10% fee...We took the four plants home, to a new construction with no plants whatsoever in the home. TWO showed signs of being diseased within a month which means we bought diseased, overpriced plants. With a lot of begging and a scathing yelp review, Ryan replaced one of the trees due to the mealybugs and spider mites. With the understanding that we delete our first review..Well, if you don't know, when you bring a diseased plant into your home, it can jump to the others. Just as, if he had multiple diseased plants in his shop, they were probably all diseased. So our most expensive tree contracted mealybugs and scale... This tree was so stunning when we bought it and now there are like 3 leaves on the entire tree. Let me make something eminently clear too, we have had multiple arborists working on a weekly basis watering, feeding, and assessing the trees condition and we have never been able to get a handle on the diseases. We basically just threw $15,000 down the drain. Every single expert explained that the tree was delivered damaged. We texted Ryan to let him know the situation with our beautiful tree and he just ignored us. We even called our lawyer to see if there was anything we could do and his invoice states that the second you walk out of his store, he is relinquished from any responsibility over his products. We never should have bought from him is the point. He is dishonest, has horrible communication, and charges way too much for diseased plants. Go somewhere else. And I will not be taking this review down. UPDATE 2/23/2023: Ryan, thanks so much for responding and showing your character for prospective customers. Let me clear up all of your questions and concerns you left in your response to my review. 1. We absolutely could have used a different card other than Amex, as I explained before, they offer a tremendous amount of protection to their customers far beyond other cards. With the horrible business you do, I can not imagine you wanting to have a threat like that to your money. 2. Second, thank you for correcting me on my "ignirance", but for future, its spelled ignorance. 3. To address what you said about our "construction site". Remember coming to the house with a big smile and hand selecting the plants that you thought would look and live best in our space? Looks like you didn't have much concern about the KILER DUST then? You're referring to a complete home with a certificate of occupancy with incomplete landscaping but I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that. 4. As to the arborists that you called a joke...funny, but you recommended our first one. 5. Calling someone a typewriter coward is BOLD considering you ignored our messages and calls when we tried handling this with you directly and eventually BLOCKED us. I'll attach a photo of our text thread to jog your memory. 6. I urge you to actually stand behind your service and your plants and respond to our multiple messages and replace the damaged plants you sold us. 7. As far as your issues with the ego's of people in LA and their yelp "slander", I wouldn't be too confident either having two stars on my business. Just a tip, speaking negatively TO & ABOUT your customers probably won't make your situation any better but what do I know. 8. To finish off my response, I'll just say, thank you for literally proving you are a perpetual liar. Only a few sentences ago you said that we put our plants in a construction site but finished off your hostile response saying you didn't know who I am. Which is it Ryan?
