My partner had a very rude encounter with the owner. After we purchased one of their plants and proceeded to strap it to the roof of our car, the owner started yelling at us thinking we were breaking the tip of the plant (we were not) and called my partner a "fucker." Absolutely unacceptable behavior especially towards a customer that just purchased a plant. Candidly I had strange encounters from the other younger men from the store asking me for my ethnicity right after I was inquiring about a plant (which they didn't seem to know). Perhaps curiosity at best but certainly not relevant. Besides the rudeness of the owner, the selection of plants are pretty good, there are lots of trendy plants for cheaper prices than you would get from other stores. However they're all cramped together so it's hard to really identify or see them individually. read more

Great service price and quality all awesome The variety from tropical exotic to succulent and cactuses. Thanks Dustin

very friendly owner who was willing to give me good prices on plants! I bought this small guy for 15, but two weeks later I realized it's infested with spider mites. Now i have a weekend project ahead of me for the next couple weeks battling these guys, because despite the mites, the plant is beautiful. I guess to an extent, sellers cannot control pests when plants are in this close proximity to each other, but still very sad to see that this plant I paid 15 dollars for from here has now become a project plant... read more

Venice Plants - 6 year old fig tree! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Venice, California

I have many plants at home and most of them are from Venice Plants. All the plants I've gotten from there look beautiful and healthy, even the ones I've had for over a couple of years now. Dustin and his son Jonathan are always super helpful and very knowledgeable. They have such a variety too. If you buy a pot there, they'll help you pot your plant before you leave and will give you great tips to take care of it at home, all with a smile on their faces. I don't go anywhere else to get plants and I highly recommend this spot! They're great. read more

Had an awful experience -- the owner was so rude when I asked him if he would sell the plant for $15 less -- i would have respected a simple "no" as an answer. Instead, he got very emotional, and frustratingly took the plant away and wouldn't talk to us. We went right down the road to their competitor Urban Jungle and had an amazing experience with the staff -- they have free coffee, great plants, and much better vibes. Go there! read more

Angry and rude ownership...so not zen for a plant shop! Came in and loved a tree that was already sold. Asked owner if he could get another in. He said he's sick of hipsters asking for more, he's OG Venice and to get the hell out. I was not wanted there. Very upsetting and disturbing, something is wrong with the guy. Hope he finds the help he needs but warning others to be prepared. read more

My college friend Kou from UC Santa Barbara is a Venice Beach local. So he's like Sophie, let's adventure for a few hrs and I'll show ya more of Venice. So this was the plant spot he suggested. It's awesome! You walk in and it's like a carefully watered jungle. Plants dangling above yr head and below and everywhere in between. The aisles are Narrow, so the plants are kinda in the aisles and you divide them like the Red Sea. The prices aren't listed on any of them or the type of plant, but if you use the plant.net app it does the trick. It's what I do when I'm hiking and come across cool unidentified plants. The cacti were especially gorgeous and LA being in newly in a drought once again, being fresh-water conservative is a thing. The city already recycles our waste water for reusable but to be sustainable and thought, the drought resistant cacti is what I will be purchasing. In the future, we are moving shortly bc of the real estate hunt. So ya know don't want to move cacti and destroy them. Shall be back once we make this investment property purchase and buy some beauties to create a lil cacti garden. I adore this local hidden gem. read more

Venice Plants - These Moss cacti are gorgeous - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Venice, California

I really wanted to like this place -- they have a great selection of cacti and succulents, with small plants priced pretty reasonably ($6-$16) and some really cool options. We also picked out a larger cactus, and although there was some initial confusion about the pricing, I was happy to pay what I thought was the agreed-upon amount. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill fast. The staff was friendly at first but inattentive -- we had to wait around 45 minutes just to check out because the owner wandered off to chat with another group. The son who was there seemed more interested in watching TV on his phone than helping customers and didn't know the answer to any basic questions about the plants. The real issue came when I asked for clarification on the price of the large cactus. I thought it was $95 or $150 with a pot, but the owner corrected me that it was $150 without. Before I could even agree to it (which I was going to), he suddenly snapped, started unloading everything from my car, and told me if I didn't want it, not to come back. It was bizarre and completely out of nowhere -- the vibe went from friendly to aggressive in seconds. I managed to calm him down, paid full price without complaint ($240 total), but was then called "difficult" for... asking a basic question? I left with the plants I wanted and they're great quality, but the way everything played out left a really sour taste in my mouth. If the customer service had stayed even halfway normal, this easily could have been a 4-star review. Instead, it was such an uncomfortable experience that I would never return -- no matter how good the plants are. read more

The owner and his are so helpful especially the owner who I found thoughtful and kind. I recommend highly. I read the someone thought him to racist. That is so very wrong. I have sent many friends there who have all had great experiences. read more

Dustin gives the best prices in town for the highest of quality. Loyal customer and have bought 10+ trees from him.

Heaven Pure Heaven! I almost don't want to review this place to keep it a secret because it is a gem. I will honestly make the 45min-hour drive to visit this incredible place. PARKING: Located on the corner of Vernon & Lincoln Entrance is on Vernon, with street parking PLANTS: Such a selection!! Both indoor and outdoor plants. So many different varieties in all stages (young and more mature). You can walk through each aisle and you will find so many different plant options. Mature beauties hanging above head, succulents, you name it. Really look and you will find some special ones. The only downside is, there are no prices on anything. PRICING: The pricing is the 2nd best part of this glorious place! Plant prices have skyrocketed to ridiculous numbers, but I feel you get such a bang for your buck here! $8 for a very healthy and great sized Silvery Anne, and walked away with a gorgeous full String of Pearl's for $20. Super reasonable pricing. SERVICE: AMAZING! OUTSTANDING, FRIENDLY. Shout Out to Jonathan, he was awesome! Great to talk plants and chit chat, telling me about this family owned business being here for 40 years I believe. I really felt the love & care here. They helped me pick a beautiful plant, walking through each aisle, eyeballing the perfect one to take home Overall 10/10, feels intimate and private and still sacred. I really hope this place stays humble and xontinues to service Venice with nothing but plant love. read more

My fave go-to plant store! I'm from Oakland and will make the drive (with a little fun in the way) just for them! I've been to many store in the Bay Area, SoCal, others but not one compares to this spot. Having gone back the other weekend was nice to see the homer is still hustling every day, running back and forth, as usual :). Thank you as always, and can't wait for the next visit! read more

This place was entertaining yet stressful and aggravating at the same time. Entertaining because the two young guys who were there that day had so much energy and were playful and funny. The way they were running things made us feel like we were buying something illicit out of a car trunk and that we'd better hurry before the police showed up. Stressful because the space was so tight. There was not enough room to pass strangers comfortably, let alone maintain social distance. Someone always had to back up to yield. Aggravating because nothing was priced. They were busy while we were there so it was difficult to get prices so that we could make decisions. I didn't totally hate my experience here, but I prefer Merrihew's in Santa Monica for my plant needs while I'm in the area. read more

According to Yelp plant purchases are spiking. My coworkers and I are all for this trend and have recently started to over fill our homes with plants, plants, and more plants. Venice Plants instantly caught our eye since their storefront is overflowing with bright green plants, many sitting on the curb of this insanely busy intersection. This literal 'hole in the side of a building' is stocked with both indoor and outdoor plants. The entire business is located outside with a shade canopy protecting the light sensitive plants from the elements. The gentleman I worked with was a little distant at first, but warmed up after I asked a few questions. He assisted me with finding the perfect hanging pathos for my bookshelf, as well as purchasing my first tree! Yep, that's right, my home is officially a jungle. Outside of greenery they also sell pots, macrame hangers, and are stocked full of knowledge. This plant store has been here for decades and I hope it stays on this corner for many years to come. read more

We got some ice cream at Wanderlust. She's really into plants so she crossed the busy street to see what the hype was about. Parking: Generally street parking. It can get pretty busy. Feels: It's around a semi busy spot of Venice but proximal to nice spots. The spot itself is pretty nice. The spot is overwhelmed with hundreds of plants. It's in a shaded outdoor location with plants galore! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Awesome. The family was helpful checking in on us now and then while sharing their knowledge. OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Not too shabby for my first plant experience. The plants were plentiful, prices were reasonable, and the experience was pleasant. Whether you are a seasoned or new green thumb, this is a good spot. I can see myself coming back here. Tips: * Park on the same side so you don't have to cross the wild street * In order to get the scoop of plants, you have to show up. read more

Came here on a pretty quiet weekend morning, in search of a white pot for one of my new plants I purchased elsewhere, which I brought with me. One of the ladies immediately asked me what I was doing there and pretty much rushed me through the little store searching for a white pot. I couldn't even tell that she worked there at first! I barely got to browse the store, she rushed me around so quickly and seemed really frantic. Overall it seemed like a lot of really nice indoor and patio plants! Their pot selection however was small, and she only found one pot that fit the description I was looking for. read more

Huge plant selection! I'm not really sure how much anything costs though which is pretty annoying. My friend recommended that I reach out to Dustin for some lattice vines to help create privacy from our neighbors. There was a pretty good selection at Venice plants--different sized gallons, and different colored bougainvillea flowers and star jasmines. We couldn't decide what to do so Dustin took us around the neighborhood to show us how they would look and described the maintenance. Super helpful!! When we were ready to order, we just placed it over the phone and were able to get free delivery! So easy! I can't wait to see how much our lattices will grow next year. read more

Venice Plants is the absolute best. I come here every week with my boyfriend in search of new plants to add to our collection. It never fails to impress me. They have a wide variety from cacti, succulents, hoyas, peperomia, large plants, and hanging plants. The owners are as great as the plants they sell. Dustin and Tina are a joy to speak with and always extremely helpful. They're half the reason I love Venice Plants so much! The prices are pretty reasonable for a small nursery. They also sell great looking planters to go with your new plants. The planter prices are great compared to places online so I always try to snatch it there. The shop itself is pretty tight, but as long as you're careful, socially distancing is possible. read more

They are one of the sweetest people that I've met since I moved here and I asked if I could purchase a little pot with soil cuz I didn't need a whole bag of soil or so I asked them I was very hesitant but then I don't think I should have been so nervous because what I offered to move pay he said don't worry about it it's free just told me not to use that next time cuz that's what I did and to maybe use or borrow a cup of soil from my next door neighbor's Garden. Once again I felt even kindness can survive God is madness read more

Honestly i don't even want to write this review. This place is perfect. The plant selection is great. The family that owns it is always super helpful and nice. I really don't want more people coming to this gem of a plant store, but alas, I need them to stay in business to keep fueling my plant addiction. Seriously, always a great selection of indoor and outdoor plants. Always a ton of the classics, monsteras, fiddles, snakes, pothos, and always some weird ones that you've never seen anywhere else. read more

Venice Plants - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Venice, California

Venice plants is the best nursery in the world. Let's break down why. 1. Southern California's climate is perfect for house plants. Why? Well 8 bazillion people living in LA will tell you that the climate is perfect. 2. Perfect for what? Nuclear glowing skin, KKK white teeth, and sexy AF plants. 3. Think about it. Would YOU as a HUMAN BEING THRIVE in SCORCHING 115 degree sunshine! 4. I don't care how close your ancestors lived NEXT TO THE EQUATOR, human beings have not been able to adapt let alone THRIVE in those blaring conditions. 5. I can't even sit in a sauna for like 5 minutes without wanting to run. 6. This being the case, Dustin and his crew raise beautiful plants that take beautiful snaps in my home. Shout out to night time interior design! read more

We stopped by to check out their cactus plants and ended up finding 4 plants we loved and ended up buying. The team repotted them in white pots at our request and also provided delivery since I live very close by and they had the staff to help that day. The owner and his staff were very friendly and so passionate about their plants! They were patient and accommodating while we decided which ones we wanted. Overall, I'm really impressed with my experience and I'll be back for more plants soon! read more

Found this place once I moved into the area. As a plant lover it was great to find a store where you can get those rare finds. I really enjoy talking to the owners and their family. They're very friendly once you take the time to chat with them and have always gone out of their way to help me when I visit with my girlfriend. I try to make this place a regular trip each weekend, you won't regret coming. Prices on the hard to find plants and planters are great, easily better then anything Ive shopped around locally or online. Make sure to give Dustin and Tina a holler when you're there, awesome people taking care of their awesome store. read more

Venice Plants - Inside the Jungle - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Venice, California

Venice can rise and fall and rise again, but there is one glorious paradise of a small business that will always stand in this little beach town, and that is Venice Plants. I have been visiting Dustin and his plant shop for 20 years now and each time I stop in I leave with something unique, something special, something quality and a feeling of true old-school Venice community. This place is a gem. A magical garden right on an unexpected little corner on Lincoln Blvd. Dustin's plants are QUALITY and are the best prices you will find anywhere this side of town. I have a Song of India that I purchased 20 years ago that is still thriving. If you live in Venice, if you live on the west side it is a crime to go anywhere else to buy a plant. Support this little local shop! I promise you will walk in there and leave with a plant that will become a life long friend as well as making new friends with Dustin and his son John. Listen to them and you will never kill a plant again. A Father and Son team of plant masters. Thank You for the jungle you have made my home! read more

I'm not sure why I only recently found out about this gem! They have so many plants! It's seriously like a jungle in there. From rubber plants, to Ivy's, to pothos, to fiddle leaf figs, to cactus, to succulents.. they got it all! (Except a watermelon peperomia *sad face*). Still on the hunt for that so if anyone knows where I can get one ASAP, message me! Lol. Anyways, this place is awesome. I would say 95 percent of the shop is covered in plants and the 5% is the walkway for you to browse. The prices seemed fair and yes they take card and cash but I'm sure they prefer cash. We both a small silver pothos for only $6. The employee are super friendly and informative about the plants and how to care for them. Definitely coming back to fill up my plant shelfie! Thanks Venice Plants! read more

I had a negative experience buying a cactus from Venice plants. The prices aren't marked on the plants. I was told one price and after they wrapped up the cactus and loaded it into the car they said they made a mistake and that it cost a hundred more than what they originally told me. It was just very unprofessional and a bad experience. I would not recommend doing business there. read more

I'll be back for more soon I am sure. read more
