This place will make you gasp as you take in the lush, vibrant colors and delicate beauty of hundreds of luscious fuchsias and begonias hanging above you. I've never seen anything like it. The ambient air temp and coastal gray mornings must be part of the "trick" to growing such phenomenal flowers. Since I live in hot east county, I'm not able to buy the fuchsias and keep them healthy. But there are lots of hardy, unusual plants offered that I've brought home and watched flourish. Buying a jug of Weidner's plant fertilizer really helps keep all my flowers going strong. The unexpected pleasure is the reasonable pricing. Add the friendly, helpful staff and you have the makings of a delightful outing. read more

See all

I had such a great experience buying two house plants at Weidners' Gardens. The woman who helped me educated me on the plants I was buying and told me how to care for them. I haven't always had good luck with plants, and when I told her this, she encouraged me to call any time I had questions and Weidners' would be happy to help me out. Buying these plants was fun, informative, and sweet. I left feeling great about my purchases and left with a new confidence that I could keep these plants alive :). read more

One of my all-time favorite nurseries. They not only carry the most gorgeous hanging baskets, but they will introduce you to some unusual plants that few nurseries have. And they grow it all themselves. read more

Okay, here's the thing: This isn't a one-stop nursery but that's okay because all that they do here, they do very well. Looking for amazing fuchsias? Looking for reasonably priced house plants? Looking for real-frets-on-the-ground gardeners? Looking for a place where most of the plants look well cared for? Well, then this is the place. They are highly specialized but they are a nursery in the true since of the word: they nurse plants and they do it well! If you are nearby stop in or if it is fuschia season, go for a drive. They are also great if you want to place a SOFT order for bareroot trees from Dave Wilson Nursery. Happy Gardening! read more

Wow, what an amazing place. There is such great care to the plants and the display of the plants its a pleasure to shop here! Plus the staff is excellent, all with tremendous knowledge, so you will be in good hands if you need help in making selections. They have everything you could possibly want. Large selection of drought tolerant as well as annuals and perennials. I plan on using them all. I want as much color as possible. Weidners Gardens is a must see for anyone interested in landscaping or just wanting to update their gardens. A++ for sure. read more

I just spent a solid 30 minutes with Evelyn getting a wealth of knowledge and recommendations on how to revive some of my garden, what to plant next, what blueberry plants to buy, and much more. It is a pleasure to be able to go to a locally owned and operated family business such as this. It is truly a gem amidst the chaos of Southern California. This was not my first visit and definitely not my last. To top it off, Evelyn walked me over to the grapes and snipped some for me to take with me, this simple trip to the nursery made my whole weekend. read more

I love this nursery. They have the best selection of Fuchsias I have ever seen in San Diego. The staff is very friendly, and know their stuff. read more

Used to be great - now it appears to be on the "going out of business" train. Plants are not as lush as they used to be. Whole atmosphere has changed and I do not go there anymore. The gift shop is practically empty, yet their site expounds on what products they have. The plant selection has become sparse amd does not look that good. Sorry to have lost a place where I stopped weekly. read more

Superior friendly service and excellent variety of plants to recreate a costal Italian garden at my home in the University City area of San Diego. Weidner's was recommended by a friend of mine- at excellent one too! read more

I stopped by to pick up a plant for a sick friend. Loved the selection. The woman who helped me was knowledgeable and very helpful. I am not the gardening type but even I got the bug walking around this beautiful, tranquil nursery. I'll be back. read more

This is a great place, the people are so friendly and informative. Evelyn helped us choose poinsettias and other items and gave friendly growing advice. Walk thru the awesome green houses, view thousands of perfect flowers or pull a wagon along and fill it with new items for your garden. Prices are great and when you get home you have healthy beautiful plants and flowers for your home. read more

Weidners' is my go to place for a gift so last weekend when I needed a unique gift for a house warming party I stopped by. Easy parking, friendly and helpful staff, an amazing array of unique gifts to chose from. I didn't know what colors or style our friends had in their new house had but in 15 min I found just the right succulent arrangement that would go with any style. I bought one of my favorite silk painting cards Weidners' sells and was out the door and on to the housewarming in a flash. The recipients were thrilled with our gift. Indoors, outdoors, easy care. We included a little note suggesting they come back to Weidners' for a replanting if it outgrows the container. read more

I went into Weidners this past weekend to purchase some mums and they had a beautiful selection to choose from. Barb was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping me choose plants and fertilizer for my garden. I highly recommend "Good Stuff"! read more

We have received the BEST advice from Evelyn and Mary over the last 6 years. The Poinsettias are wonderful ! They have great liquid fertilizers that all our blooming plants LOVE! This is a fun place to take the kids, especially when they are digging violets or begonias... go here. read more

Great nursery! They have a lot of wonderful and beautiful plants, including blueberries and milkweed.

Weidner's is one of the best nurseries around. Their plants are just gorgeous and prices so reasonable for the quality of plants. I drive all the way from east county San Diego just to shop there and have taken classes as well. Truly an enjoyable experience, Thank you Weidner's! read more

This is a great place if you are a good enough gardener to do Begonias and fuschias, Me, I'm overly optimistic and try anyway. I can't help myself when I go to Weidner's, everything is so beautiful, I have to bring something home and try. Mrs. Weidner is a hoot, she has a series of videos on youtube that are very informative and entertaining, and she makes it all look so easy. Look them up, you get a peek art the amazing grounds and the spectacle of all the Begonias in bloom. read more

We took the free tour offered today- Evelyn was just outstanding! Her tour was fun and educational. Every one of the employees was very friendly and helpful! This is a MUST VISIT! read more

These are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Knowledgeable too. And lots of well cared for, beautiful plants at REALLY reasonable prices. We stop in every time we can! You should too. read more

I've been driving from Long Beach to Weidners for years. Their plants are absolutely the best to be found. I love to dig the pansies in the fall and begonias in the spring'/summer. These plants last for years and come back every year. Evelyn and her crew are always around to offer helpful advice. I take my family members along to help me dig! I even buy plants for my friends in Orange County, and they are astounded by the beautiful baskets I bring to them. read more

I love this nursery. They are ever so helpful and never afraid to tell me that I shouldn't buy that plant for my area. I always bought plants from a box store and they would end up dying with in a week. Now I have one of the best looking balcony's in my condo complex. Thanks Evelyn and Mary. read more

FABULOUS! AS GOOD AS IT GETS! Have been coming here for decades. I live an hour away and would never let that stop me from turning to Weidner's for ALL my flower and vegetable gardening needs. I love seeing what they have for every season. Their plants are the healthiest and most productive. I love the owners and staff. My gardens have always become the envy of all. People have actually stopped their cars to tell me how amazing my gardens have been! My favorites are their 'dig your own Pansies', and Fuchsias. You won't be disappointed. read more

Love this place. Best selection of plants that makes my patio shine. Friendly staff that always helps me when deciding on new plants or help me save ones that I almost kill. Great prices too! Love that they grow their own and not truck them in.. read more
