Great location, great stock. Everybody's really nice there. They order if there's uncommon plants. If you think this place is bad then you haven't tried other large scale nurseries in regards to customer service/sales. Abby does a great job every time, haven't dealt with others salesman, don't need to. But even when its busy she's balancing everything really well always getting back. Once in a while a plant will have a bug or something but you can always skip those, the place is huge. Sometimes you get a free frog in the plants, that's cool. read more

I recently had a landscaper give me an estimate to redo one of my rental properties and he told me to go to Village Nurseries for ideas and availability (I had all of his information including resale license). I had been there years ago when it was a retail nursery. I drive up and pretty much knew how it worked. They reluctantly and rudely gave me a price list, zero help at all. For one hillside, I was looking at red apple iceplant. Holy bejeesus, the flats were in awful condition with a lot of dead plants in the flat, about 1/3rd. Now here's the real kicker, they were almost twice as much as Home Depot. Hard pass. Boxwood gallon size were also in bad shape and more than twice as much as Home Depot. A bird of paradise was in a 5 gallon container but you could tell it was recently repotted from a one or two gallon container so I lifted the plant and it came right out of the pot with a small rootball and soil spilling all over. This is robbery and fraud. A schefflera was infested with scale. I'd go on about the condition of the plants and the inflated prices but you get the drift. I ended up at Walter Anderson and Mission Hills nurseries and got larger, healthier plants, true to container size for a lot less than this place. I purchased the 4 flats of iceplant at Home Depot. Don't think the owners don't read the reviews. It's more than obvious because when it's a negative review, they mark it as "funny." Just check and then check other establishments. This place exceeds in that area. I guess they think the "funny" will negate the review although it doesn't. I personally don't know how they stay in business. A wholesale nursery is less than a retail nursery and this place is just the opposite. I've seen better plants on the clearance racks at Lowes and I'm not being sarcastic. BTW, I did not hire that landscaper and went with someone else that told me that he refuses to use Village Nurseries. I suggest you do the same. I'm very pleased with the way my landscape job turned out and it's been 3 months, lost exactly 2 iceplants out of 4 flats, everything else is thriving, no pests, no diseases. read more

Have been a customer since they first opened always my go to nursery, just purchased $1,300 worth of crepe myrtle trees for a customer had them delivered so they would be protected. They look like shit broken branches missing the leaves on the tops of all the branches and the root balls are all broken. They charged me a $100. For delivery so they could ruin my trees. Told them I did not want to place them in my open truck so they laid them down and drove them here no tarp no protection. Without letting me know all the deliveries in the past have been inside a truck. I spend a lot of money here, now so angry pulling my business will never recommend them online again. Will actively let people now how bad they treat their longest customers. read more

They have a large variety of plants here, convenient location and friendly sales people. Unfortunately they don't service the public anymore and you have to have a landscaper get the plants that you need here. It's definitely cheaper than any of the retail stores around in San Diego that I've seen read more

I normally only write reviews if I have something positive to say.... got that from my mom. :) However, my experience with Village Nurseries has inspired a rant. I get that they are wholesale only. I knew that before I called - my landscaper told me. Nonetheless, still needed to swing by to pick the plants for him to install, and they were so shockingly rude there is NO WAY I would spend money supporting this business. Hopefully, one day they will realized that, wholesale or not, it is the end user who is paying their bills and treat everyone who calls with a little respect. read more

Stopped in to find some bonsai for the office. Too bad they don't have any. I'm giving a 1 star for the customer service. After walking around their garden looking for bonsai, I was directed by a couple of landscapers to go into the "oficina" for help. Upon entering, I noticed at least 3 people behind the counter who seemed to be talking amongst themselves. There was one woman in particular whom I caught eyes with first, who gave me the dirtiest look then turned her back to me. Wow. What the hell? I was beyond confused, but shrugged it off. I just want to know if you carry bonsai, man. I got 99 problems, and unfortunately for me, this B was one of them. read more

This is definitely a business to business operation. They aren't geared to dealing with the general public, and were definitely not friendly. They don't have prices or labels on the plants, and the office staff isn't helpful. Unless you are a big contractor or professional landscaper, I suggest going to a smaller nursery like Anderson where the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Yep! The reviews were all correct! Wish I read it before I saw this place from the freeway and turned in.

I know this is for contractors and commercial business. They have a good varieties the size of plants per gallon are pretty good. The selections are great it is a few dollars more but the quality is better compared with Evergreen . read more

The straight deal: This is a wholesale nursery for people in the biz. If you're not in the biz, go to retail nurseries, or hire me, and I'll buy the plants for you at Miramar Nursery. :)) The customer service is fine, given the above. They give directions to where to find the plants, and nominal other information as may be relevant given the above conditions, and of course ring up the sale to continue providing their service of growing and selling plants to us. There are also info sheets available for free on the wall inside the sales office, and books for purchase. It's a good/great nursery to get many types of good/great quality condition landscape plants and some other landscape materials. read more

Very friendly , and very enthusiastic to help when we need buying advice , all kinds of flowers and plants are considered very beautiful- thanks you read more

John was super helpful; great customer service. Only (wholesale) nursery in San Diego that had the selection, size, and number of specific hedges I was looking for. Easy to schedule delivery as well. Definitely recommend. read more

The reason that this nursery can no longer sell to the public in not their decision. They lease the land from Mira Mar Military base right next to the property and they have made the decision for them. They can no longer have the public on the property. This is a great loss for this Nursery and they do feel the pain. It is not because they do not want to sell to you, they CAN NOT or lose their lease. Maybe you should have gotten more information before you went on a rant. and BTW...if the customer service was so horrible, why did you continue to shop there for 10 years??? read more

This place SUCKS!!! Don't even bother. My landscaper sent me here to look and buy the plants I needed. Loaded up my truck with plants and was told to put them back. I showed them my landscapers information and they still told me to put it all back. I dumped all the plants right at the front and just left. Apparently these people don't need the business. read more

I have never encountered such rude people in my life. I literally stood in line for 10 minutes while two employees answered phone calls that came in after I was in line. When I finally got to the desk the girl was practically hostile to me. "how do you know the price of something?" "uhhh it's on the price list" (large pause while she stared me down) "So may I have a price list?" que the eye roll and shuffle to a file to hand me a price list. "Is there someone who can help me outside?" "Nope." "Really?" "Nope, just in here" "You do sell to the public, correct?" "Yep" Well NOT TO ME. I would NEVER buy anything there. NEVER. And I'll tell anyone who'll listen. read more

This will be the last check-in here! We are no longer allowed to shop here without a licensed landscaper! New owners...Really stupid since we bought almost all the plants/tree's for our new place here! It's their loss! The service was never really that great to begin with you were more or less on your own, which was fine just tell us where the plants our located (they gave you a map). I won't miss going here at all! read more

I used to come here all of the time. I call them, ask about bamboo, load up my kids, drive 25 minutes to here and get denied entry. It's wholesale only!! From all of the reviews complaining about this, you would think they would mention this on the phone. read more

WHOLESALE ONLY!! Absolutely no general public sales. I wish I'd've read the reviews first. I was in the area & read all the posted signs as soon as I arrived. read more

I don't know what the hell is wrong with the Aholes leaving the bad reviews - I've been here four times in as many weeks, they've been SUPER nice to me - and I'm not wholesale, I don't even know dip about plants !!! this place is SPRAWLING and has EVERYTHING from the looks of it - they even ordered me three dozen additional plants and had them in in two days !!! hell, I'd NEVER go back to home depot now, these guys are where it's AT !!! read more

Had to go through a landscaper in order to place an order. Then the finalized order is provided with the "technical terms". Of course, I didn't know some were wrong and planted. After planting, you're stuck. Half of one set of six plants died. Still stuck. Can't go back to get replacements because I'm not a landscaper I'm told. Go somewhere where you can be there, you can make the choices of substitution and you can make sure there is some warranty. read more

best and only close to sd wholesaler nursery us legit contractors have. funny how. some people cant understand its for us busy working gardeners that know what we want and all about the plant. dont have time like the public to look around ask a million questions you can look up in line. go to evergreen nursery down the road you haters !! god bless village read more

What the heck happened to this place? (One star is too good for you!) After severely thinning out some very old landscaping, I needed to add some new plants to my garden. So I decided to plant several azaleas in the barren areas. I discussed the purchase with my landscaper and we talked about where to buy the plants. He suggested Evergreen Nursery in Del Mar, so I called them to verify that they had what I needed. Unfortunately, they did not have the plants. They were friendly and helpful, but had not checked their stock when I called prior to visiting the nursery. So off to Miramar I went. I've shopped there before and knew that I'd be on my own. Knowing "the drill" at Miramar, I first stopped in the office where I verified that they stocked the azaleas AND I asked for their pricing. After spending a good twenty to thirty minutes sorting through unmarked pots of plants hoping to find the varieties I needed, I settled on several plants. When I went back to the office to pay for my purchase, I was asked for my account number and upon telling them that I didn't have one, I was told that the plants would cost me "X" (35% MORE than what I was quoted when I checked prior to selecting plants). REALLY???? NO THANKS! I left all my plants outside their office and proceeded to Walter Anderson in Point Loma. At WA, I was helped by a knowledgeable employee. Their plants were beautiful, healthy and labeled correctly. AND they were the same price as my "wholesale" price at Miramar. In fact, because I belong to the WA "Hedge Fund club" (accumulate points by shopping that can be applied to future purchases), my prices were actually LESS than at Miramar. Want to be treated like a valued customer? Don't go to Miramar Wholesale Nursery. Want to be treated to no customer service, incorrect pricing, dusty, do-it-yourself environment served up by unfriendly employees? Than MWN is the place for you! read more

They have no one to help the public and are geared toward commercial landscapers. Plus, those that offer assistance in their office are not helpful at all. I tagged a $200 tree with my name so my landscaper could deliver it in two weeks. Just to be sure I tagged it a week later. Those idiots sold it with my tags in place! Then when I chose another tree they told me how to plant it. Unfortunately they were wrong and the tree died. Every week for a month I took them pictures of the tree because I was concerned that it wasn't doing well. They assured me that it would eventually be fine. Then it died. I got a professional arborist to look at it and he told me in a minute that it was planted too deep and in the absolute wrong type soil... the soil Miramar sold me and told me to plant it in. I have tried to get them to give me another tree as a replacement but they essentially told me to pound sand. Don't go there. Walter Anderson's is a class act that will order you anything and they actually know what they are talking about. read more

I am not going to buy anything from this nursery anymore. I bought some topsoil from them and nothing in my raised beds is doing well. I checked with a friend and he had a similar experience. They even told him that they changed the top-spoil and assured him it would be better and then it wasn't! read more

This place is huge! I bought a lemon tree for my backyard, come here and see the vast landscape filled with plants and stuff...

This is a huge nursery and its just off 805. You will find a lot of variety but the prices are not on the cheaper side. They're associated with Tru Green commercial landscapers and definitely oriented more towards professionals but friendly to the public too. No individual prices on pots but they have a complete list of plants and prices on sheets that you can get at the office. I recommend you stop by at the office before you head inside the nursery. I found my Michelia Champaca here when I didn't see it anywhere else. read more

R.I.P. Miramar Wholesale. You got what you deserved. They say you reap what you sow. Miramar was ALWAYS supposed to be a wholesale only nursery. Those were the terms of the original lease from the government. But, Miramar threw the professionals under the bus, and started selling to everybody in the world. Now since you helped kill off the professional contractor. you don't have anyone to sell to. Ha Ha Ha. read more

It's true, they no longer sell to the public. They finally agreed to sell to us after we gave them our landscapers name. We paid over to $350 in trees. Didn't have them longer than 3 days and they all died! Called and their customer service is the worst I've experienced. The woman who answered the phone was pretty rude. I was basically told I was sh** out of luck. They don't care. It's very disappointing that I am out $350 for trees that died only a few short days later! I've purchased less expensive trees from other retailers and not once did I have an issue and by the way, look amazing to this day! I wasn't asking for my money back, I simply wanted to exchange them. read more

wow this place is beautiful. It is big and kind of hard to find things but if you go in the sales office first they give you a map and youcan drive around and just select whatever you want. The sales people really know plants and very helpful. I recommend you allow yourself a lot of time because it is huge. read more

My designer purchased a large order of plants for me through Village Nurseries. I was suppose to receive four 2 gal Agave plants and two 24 in box Crape Myrtle trees, instead I received four 1 gal Agave plants placed in 2 gal containers and two 15 gal Crape Myrtle trees placed in 24 inch box containers. Both my designer and contractor agreed the plants were not what I paid for. I asked for a refund due to the smaller sizes and was told they would not refund as prices are based on the contaner size not the plant size! They also said I received a good deal for my plant order as is! I have since written to corporate headquarters with pictures expressing my concern about their business practices, but have not received a response. The Sales Reps I spoke to at the Governor nursery are also very rude and do not care about the end customer! This business does not abide by their company Mission Statement and I wouldn't do repeat business with them or refer them to any other potential customers. read more

I bought two 15 gal. giant birds of paradise. When I got home and went to plant one of them, I found that it was a five gal. sitting in 15 gal. of dirt...no rooting whatsoever. I didn't want to lug the whole thing back so I took a photo of the plant with the root ball in the perfect five gallon shape (and no rooting outside of that shape) with the remaining ten gal. of dirt right next to it. I stopped by the nursery to show them the photo and just credit me the difference between the five and 15 gallon price. They refused, so I guess I paid an extra $45 for ten gallons of dirt. When an HONEST business repots a plant to a larger size, they don't present it for sale until it's properly rooted. read more

Unless you're a licensed landscaper, don't go. They're starting to enforce what they said was a long-standing policy as a wholesale-to-trade only nursery. Most all wholesale nurseries in the cities I've lived in will sell to the public and are happy to do so. To echo what many have said, the customer service is TERRIBLE here. I've gone for years because it's convenient to where I live and have tolerated the rude attitudes. I'm not sure if they all hate their jobs or just hate the general public. Now that they're turning away the public, the latter problem should be solved. So, licensed landscapers, let us know if the new rule solves their long-standing customer service problem. read more

The Reviews are TRUE! The women who answer the phone with "YA" and i ask a few questions and says to use google instead is pretty rude. I now will definitely never let anyone buy from this place and will never recommend this joke of a company to anyone. Sad to say probably worst customer service I have ever dealt with read more

Not really helpful. Contractor wanted us to pick out plants for new construction ... Wouldn't let public in without contractor. 40 k budget for plants and trees. Will have to find other place to shop. Maked it hard to work work without contractor right by our side. Bummer wasted a day... read more

I bought four 48" boxed trees from Village Nurserie a couple months ago for my yard. When I first visited, I found the gentleman at the counter friendly, helpful, and, best of all, exceptionally knowledgable about the various trees I was considering. He guided me to their locations on their fairly huge property and when I'd revisit him with followup questions, he was thoughtful and helpful with those, too. The trees have been in place for a couple months now and are thriving. Exactly what I wanted! read more

Have you ever been watching an HGTV show and the designer takes a trip with the client to some incredible nursery that seems to have millions of every plant known to man and you're sitting there thinking, "Do places like that really exist?" Well, they do and it's here. This place is the real deal! If you can find a way to shop here, you should. Period. For people to give this place 1 star reviews because it is a wholesale nursery is ridiculous. That's like saying Congressional Country Club is a bad golf course just because they kicked you off for trying to play there without a membership. They are pretty explicit about it being wholesale but they will definitely work with you to find a way for you to shop there. They found a way for me to shop there and I am definitely not a landscaper! Once you are in, the assumption is that you are a landscaper and naturally know your plants but the front desk was still very helpful for plant selection. The plants themselves are top quality, the selection is unreal and it's wholesale prices. What more can you ask for? An enthusiastic 5 stars! read more

WARNING!!!! I've been shopping here for 10 years. I drove here today and found that it is NOT open to the public anymore. HUH? Are you kidding me? My entire neighborhood in Carmel Valley has spent several thousands of dollars here and now we can't buy ANYTHING anymore. I hope they go bankrupt soon. Totally LAME!!!! read more

Unfortunately they no longer sell to the public so you'll need to bring a friend who's in the trade.

Needed a couple of large potted plants for a retail space. Stopped in one morning and these guys really helped me to put something together. They even sent me to Canyon Pottery as they have a somewhat small selection of pots. We selected 2 pygmy dwarf palms and are really happy with the results. read more

Great place. Bit pricey, but I wouldn't guess how much it costs to grow tree's so maybe it's fair. I bought two tree's at $150 each in 30 gallon pots... so they weren't that big. BUT, lots to choose from. AND if you bring a gardner with a business card you get 10% off. read more
