Beautiful nursery with very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Invested in a couple of plants and was told by staff I could always ask questions about how to keep plants happy at home. Best customer service! read more

They have a great selection. Their prices are high if you want to buy larger plants and have Whitfill plant them for you. This is the place to find a plant you can't find anywhere else, or to pick up a house plant. But if you're trying to plant several new trees, for example, buy the trees from Home Depot and plant them yourself. You'll be surprised at the price difference. It was about ten times more expensive to buy from Whitfill and have them plant them than to buy from Home Depot/Lowe's and plant them ourselves. read more

Huge nursery! The selection is amazing and the prices are fair. The staff is exceptional. I was often offered help and a gentlemen help me pick and load my car carefully. I can't wait to come back to this nursery! read more

Amazing nursery with an endless selection of both outdoor and indoor plants! I could spend hours shopping here! They also have goats, peacocks and parrots!! read more

Such an awesome place to come for all your landscape and gardening needs. Ricky was incredibly helpful, answering all of my six hundred and forty two questions graciously and helping me load my truck. Don't miss checking out the greenhouse with exotic birds. Shop local, y'all! read more

Good selection of trees. But expect to walk around for 30 minutes, staff to see you but nobody will ask if you need help. Half the plants don't have prices on them and no info on what kind of plant you're looking at. read more

Very friendly staff also very informed. I ordered two trees they were more affordable then other options. Delivery was on time and professional very happy. read more

My favorite Nursery. All of the people I have met there are very willing to engage and be helpful.

Best plants in town. When you buy quality plants you have to spend a little money. A lot of time goes into growing these bad boys. You can't compare them to Home Depot or Lowe's. Those plants just die within a year almost every time. These guys are the best in town and have been in the valley for a long time. Thank you Brian Blake for the great deal. Got this beautiful pine. Also bought 13 ficus hedges last year and they doubled in size. read more

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not much of an outdoors kinda guy. When I was young and the kids were chasing frogs by the Mississippi River, I was inside playing office, sorting paper clips and writing pretend memos for my siblings. "Please reseal the Cap'n Crunch box or you will be fired". Yea. I was a real go getter. But if I had to spend a lot of time outdoors I would want to do it at Whitfill Nursery. This place is MASSIVE...with everything you could imagine a nursery would carry. Except babies. That's a different kind of nursery. They have a large selection of pots, garden decorations, benches and yes, even coasters. And who doesn't love a good coaster? The cashier who helped us and walked us over to the Jacaranda tree was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. OK. He was really cute too. Rickie's uncle wanted to buy this tree and take it to San Antonio. But Texas was not the right climate and he steered us towards the Desert Museum trees...beautiful with a green trunk and yellow flowers. The ones they had were too big, he called their other store at 26th St. and Southern and they had the right size. Helpful and cute. Win. Win. The nursery has obviously lots of shaded areas, duh, with sitting areas scattered throughout. A"gift store" with a Coke machine...hey looking at plants and cute plant guys makes me very thirsty. So if I ever decide to expand my backyard living from a balcony to a space with dirt and grass, I'll head to Whitfill Nursery. For now I'm happy living in my concrete jungle with no plants to water. That's all for now. Time to sort paper clips and unjam the stapler. read more

Going to have to lower the rating on this place, in a big way. I've purchased $100s of dollars of plants from these folks, but it seems like they want to play games with pricing now. Case in point, they have some large 25-gallon timber bamboo specimens. Having bought smaller 15-gallon from them in the past, and having a perfect spot, I was interested in purchasing one of these and having it delivered and planted. Thus begins the saga. Over the phone, because there were no prices at the nursery and nobody around to help on my initial visit when I spotted them, i was told repeatedly and by multiple staffers what the price was, and that it included both delivery and planting. So far so good. Finally having the funds, I venture down to the nursery to pay and arrange delivery. I picked out he very nicest specimen they had, after flagging down a staffer. This is where it all starts to go down hill. First words out of her mouth after we select the plant, "What did they tell you on price for these?" That's right, she works there but has no idea, and asks -me- what the price is supposed to be. She gives me a lower amount than what I was told on the phone and I respond, trying to be honest, saying that no, it was a higher amount (and give it to her). We proceed to the front desk, where the cluster continues. The staffer that tagged the plant with me asks another person, who also has no clue. Asks me what I was quoted and who I talked to. I have no idea what their names were, naturally. I figured the price was the price, so why should I have to know that I spoke with employee X who quoted me Y price on Z date? Another staffer joins into the conversation and, rather rudely, points out incredulously that the price I am quoting is too low if it includes planting and delivery, as if I'm perhaps making things up to save a buck. As nobody can figure this mess out in reasonable time, someone ends up calling the owner (purportedly) to see if they have a flipping clue what their merchandise is priced at. End result? Owner comes back and quotes a price fully $150 higher than what -everyone- told me on the phone. I'm sorry, but for a $300 plant, tacking on another $150 is a bit over the top. I tried to work with them, but there was no budging, no meeting in the middle, nothing. Just an unqualified, "It's $150 more than what you were told before you drove across town to come here. Take it or leave it." I decided to leave it, and I ended up walking out. To this day I haven't seen a single one of them sold, nor have I seen prices indicated anywhere. I've been back several times for smaller items that actually have prices on them and where there's no shenanigans going on. Maybe when they're chucking these beautiful bamboos into the dumpster or end up having to clearance them out later in the year, they'll figure out how to run a business and that (gasp!) you need to put prices on your merchandise. Frankly speaking, you'd think with a 25-gallon pot, there would surely be enough room to scratch a price on it somewhere, right? But hey, why do that when you can leave it up to whatever the sales people think the customer can afford? There's no reason not to put a price on an expensive item unless you're out to play games with your customers. I will continue to shop there for little things, but I will never purchase any big ticket items from them because you simply can't trust a word their employees tell you. It's one price to get you down there, another price when you open your wallet to pay. Lesson learned - if there's no price on it, don't bother. read more

WARNING do not go here!!!! I bought $150.00 dollars of plants here about 2 weeks ago and one of the plants had a pod on it that I didn't see and it opened and now the plant is infested with bugs. I put this plant and some pansies i bought there in my atrium where I have no other plants and now I have bugs everywhere. When I called the nursery and told them what happened they said oh well! All the other nurseries guarantee their plants this place sells you diseased plants on purpose knowing you will be stuck with them. I used to go there all the time, I will never go back!!!!! Beware!!!!! read more

Love Whitfill!!! Great atmosphere, healthy plants and very nice, helpful staff. A Phoenix gem!!!

I absolutely love this nursery! I am very new to gardening, and know next to nothing about it. So, after starting our first garden my husband and I ran into a few problems. We went to whifill because it is close, and berated the friendly gentlemen working there with all of our questions. Whats this? What are there holes in our herbs? how can I get rid of the weeds? and so on. He answered all of our questions, offered solutions, and made suggestions. We walked away with some very effective weed killer and now I know what all of the random things growing in my yard are! Prices were fair, staff was excellent, I'm certain I will be back. read more

This was our first (and last) visit to Whitfill. For this visit we were working on our front yard. Small project, but we wanted to test the waters of several nurseries before we tackle our beast of a back yard. This review is somewhere between a 2 and a 3 star. I'm giving them a 3 because 85% of the items we purchased are still alive (we didn't have Whitfill plant them for us because they were flowers and (to us) it seems silly to have a nursery plant flowers). However, despite the high prices that we ended up paying for these items, they do not cover any plants that they don't plant themselves, so I guess we just wasted that money. They have a lot of plants and trees. I would have liked to have seen a wider variety of FLOWERS because I was working with a particular color scheme. I believe we were only there for about 5 minutes before we were accosted by the owners and some sales people. We let them know several times that we were just wanting to look around first (there is a lot to see there and we really didn't need a chaperone), but once they started talking we were unable to escape them. Somehow we went in looking for a couple of trees and 3 bushes and ended up ordering 3 trees, 5 bushes, a couple of torchglow bougainvillea, and 6 or 7 flowers (that we really weren't all that enthused with, but after being there for hours, neither of us was really in the mood to go visit another nursery) and some other odds and ends for them to deliver to us at a later date. One of the bushier palms that we picked out (the one that we were really excited to put in the new flowerbed) didn't get delivered and they said we never ordered it. It was the first one that we picked out and distinctly remember him putting the red piece of tape on it for us. The purple leaf plum tree showed up looking a bit smaller that we expected, but it was ok. The leaves looked a little battered, but it's been in the ground for about 2 weeks now and we are just hoping she makes it, since we planted it ourselves and it isn't covered by any warranty. Sorry Whitfill, there are too many nurseries that go above and beyond with their post-delivery services. Are they terrible? No. But we have a much larger project that we are working on for the backyard, and as a landscaping partner, you guys came up short. read more

: I really wish there were a nursery that could compete w/ their tree selection. It became apparent after they planted our three fruit trees a few months ago that they'd injured the apple tree w/ a giant pole they drove through the roots (to keep the trunk straight, they said, unlike the apple tree we'd purchased there the previous year and planted ourselves. Irony? We'd chosen that apple, and it was curved when we bought it. Furthermore, they were only supposed to plant the other two trees. If we'd have planted the new apple, as planned, it wouldn't be struggling to survive, right now). More than anything, the experience reminds me to be assertive and complain about terrible service, and to look elsewhere before buying any more trees from these people. (Edit: Apple tree died.) read more

Terrible customer service. I have had to do all of the work to get reimbursed for a radio ad that nobody that worked there knew about. I could understand if it was a weekend sale..maybe, but this ad ha been playing on KFYI for about a month. I have called only to have my information taken so that they could call me back. I have called twice now and no returned calls. I have sent an email and no response. I will not be going back to this nursery, and will tell others to do the same. Unless they want to pay a different price then what is advertised. $199.00 24 inch box trees planted was a LIE. read more

Whitfill just completed construction during the hot summer months and when we stopped by today it was amazing! So busy such an overwhelming selection of plants as we enter the fall season. Beautiful pots to choose from and many perennials. This is our go to nursery. Staff are always so helpful and friendly. Stock up for your garden and gets your pots looking gorgeous!!! read more

Whitfill is a beautiful nursery. In addition to the huge variety of plants they also carry pots and garden decorations. They have some really cool birds that hang out and chew on wood. Sometimes I go just to walk around and enjoy the peaceful environment they have created. They also have a gift shop and a coke machine. The employees are always friendly and helpful and they make up for the high prices. Either way I would still rather buy from Whitfill that WalMart or Home Depot. read more

Very healthy plants that are well taken care of at great prices! Go here instead of Moon Valley to avoid getting ripped off and to support a small local family-owned and operated business. The dozens of oleanders they planted a couple years ago are all doing great and have transformed our back yard. Looking forward to getting some new trees in a few weeks. They are very knowledgeable and spend however long you need to get all your questions answered. Their nursery is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Highly recommend! read more

Honestly, I would give it a 0 star rating if I could. I went down to this nursery today with my boss to pick out some plants for the inside and outside of our office. Being it was my first time there, I was more than excited to see all of the lovely plants and animals I had heard about. My experience was bad from the moment we walked up to the counter. One lady sat on a chair eating food while just blankly looking at us, and the other, a middle aged woman in her at least forties, stood with her back to us. After a minute or two, she finally turns around and walks up to us, saying, "What's up?" Now it is hot, so I let go the rudeness she had already started to show. My boss and myself began to explain what we were looking for, and told her we would love recommendations for our outdoor plants, because we wanted something that would actually survive the insane heat of the summer. She was very unenthusiastic and wasn't really giving us any answers to the questions we were asking. Slightly annoyed, I let them discuss outdoor plants while I looked for the nice indoor plants I am putting by my office. Ten minutes in to me gawking at the parrots and looking at smaller plants, they join me. I had a few questions about a particular type of plant, and she was short, snappy, and even showed the attitude on her face. Like she was my teenage daughter and I made her come work with me. Smiling it off, I thank her and tell them to go start writing everything up while I pick out my plants. We bring everything to the counter, I go pick out pots, everything is starting to go smoothly. I walk up to where they are writing up my boss's invoice for everything we were purchasing, and noticed they had different prices then the ones she quoted us. I looked around to notice afterwards, there are not any prices posted for any of the plants or pots. When she handed us an almost Seven Hundred Dollar ($700.00) bill, my jaw dropped. It had ridiculous delivery fees (our office is a literal two minute drive from this nursery) and the planting fees were a little out there as well. We told her we would just come pick up the plants and plant them ourselves, and she regressed back to her teenage self it seemed. She snatched the invoice book off the counter, huffing and puffing the entire time, while dramatically scratching off the parts of our invoice that charged us for the delivery and planting fees. She charged my boss's card, and I asked her about planting my two smaller plants in the pots we bought for them, seeing as we were taking them immediately. She stared blankly at me, then gave me a refund of just under Twenty Dollars ($20.00). I asked about the planting, and she says with the most attitude thus far, "I ask the final question and you guys didn't answer so I assumed you didn't want that either." Okay, I'm sorry, but we just dropped Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) at your nursery and you are going to be a complete *insert profane language here* to us? As soon as she handed me the cash (which was odd because we used a card), she said "Alright bye now." and walked away from us. Didn't offer to help us out, see if we needed anything else, just walked away like some teenage girl who didn't get her way and was finally free from it. Her attitude blew my mind. Honestly, everyone else there was super friendly and constantly offered me assistance, the animals were phenomenal and the entire nursery itself was rather nice; but her terrible attitude and atrocious service made all of that disappear. This associate's name is Kim. I wish I would have gotten her full name, but by the looks of it they don't have that many employees, so chances are they will hopefully know who this is. The one reason I am a little hesitant to write this review is because we have still yet to pick up our outdoor plants, and I have this feeling that we might get some dead or dying ones now. That's the reason my boss asked me not to, but after reading previous reviews (that I honestly should have done first) I have noticed a pattern; the customer service there SUCKS. I get it is hot, but hire some people that actually want to work there, not ones who make you feel bad for asking them to do their JOB. One of the worst parts about it, my boss has been coming to this nursery for YEARS. Way to treat your used to be loyal customers. I truly hope the owners look into this apparently consistent problem they are having with their staff. read more

Great nursery! Staff is friendly and helpful this is a local business support them!!! they have the best plants

Came here to pick up some plants for a backyard project. I didn't have a clue of what I wanted, but thanks to Matthew who helped me and my husband out we found some plants. I described the colors I wanted and showed him pictures of some plants I liked and he was able to steer us in the right direction. He was a wealth of knowledge and was very patient and kind with us. I would highly recommend coming here for any of your vegetation needs! A huge thanks to Matthew for helping us out! read more

Pleasant. We didn't plan on coming here--we just saw it from the road and decided to visit. I have been seeing their ads in my mailbox for some time and wanted to see what it was all about. Huge place. Service was attentive. Lots and lots of plants (flowers, veggies, cacti, palms, decorative, etc,) soil, chemicals, and accessories for your garden. We didn't buy anything, but it was nice to look around. If my wife were wearing better shoes, we would have stayed longer. Problems? Well, the prices seemed a bit high in comparison to the big box hardware stores, but if the quality is better, who cares? I didn't like the fact that many of the plants were unmarked except for a price, so you didn't even know what you were looking at for quite a number of the items. That bugged me a bit. Maybe they don't have the time to label everything and the merchandise goes out quickly, especially during the Spring. However, it would be nice to know what such and such plant is without asking for assistance. Four stars for now. I'll tell you more when I know more. read more

I am listing this place because its the best place in town for the season at hand. They have the best Christmas trees in town. I have searched high and low; this is the best, albeit probably the most expensive tree in town, but its totally worth it if you're looking for a fresh cut tree. If you're looking for other plants and shrubs, this place isn't my favorite and would suggest that you look around - but for seasonal decorating - this is the spot! Happy Holidays. read more

They are not following CDC guidelines or their own posted regulation. Two employees not wearing masks and trying to walk right next to me on path. I left immediately and will not return. Ridiculous. read more

I want to like Whitfill. I really do. I'm currently waiting on a second late/no-show delivery, and I just got off the phone with the manager, who was apologetic. I am a Baker Nursery refugee, and after they closed, I decided to try Whitfill, as there are limited, non-big box options in central Phoenix. I had previously shopped Whitfill for some fruit trees last year, and when I signed up for a consultation with them to survey my backyard, the gentleman never showed up (twice). I'm disappointed that they aren't coming through again. Their selection is superior, their in-store customer service is very good. Their prices are pretty fair, although the delivery charge is egregious considering their poor show-up rate for it. I worked with associate Matthew, who was very helpful and educational. But, the follow-through for delivery is sub-par, and it makes them look unprofessional. I have a lot of work to do in my central Phoenix backyard, and will need to reconsider working with them, especially if I were to choose the delivery option. read more

While Whitfill's selection is amazing and prices are good, when I went a couple of weeks ago there was an older woman, who seemed like she could be an owner, barking at staff to help customers who clearly stated that they didn't want help. She yelled to some staff that I needed help because I was pregnant. I am NOT pregnant. When I arrived home I realized that I was charged for one more cactus than I had bought. Overall feel like my experience was ruined and may not return. read more

I bought a seedless Mandarine Orange tree there 2 years ago. When they planted it I noticed my marker tag was gone. They assured me it was the same tree. It produced last summer. There are so many seeds I cannot it the fruit. They seethed the tree out to a cheaper less desirable. I purchased 6 tree total. They crew planted the tree using the same clay they dug up. I complained and they came back and replanted. My large queen palm died. I'm am not happy. read more

Incredible and only place we shop for anything "Nursery" related. Staff is very knowledgeable and products are very high quality. Everything grows and continues to grow. Better selection than big box stores and way higher quality. Arizona based, family owned for decades, great place. Richard / AZ read more

This nursery has a wide range of plants, both outdoor and indoor, that were all thriving and wonderful quality. The friendly cats roaming about were a nice touch as well. The best part was the reasonable prices! It was shocking how well priced they were. I will be going back very often. read more

I was really looking forward to shopping here but they have horrid customer service. Went in to buy a rose bush for my mother's birthday and had no idea what I was doing. I arrived wandered the entrance area making about 5 laps around the area and no one was around to help. I'd suddenly see someone pop up and they rapidly walked right by me to go help someone else. I figured maybe they already had a customer to attend. After attempting to decipher where the rose bushes would be I finally realized there's more property to walk with more plants. Mind you, I had never been there before and had no idea what I was doing, judge me if you will but this was the first nursery I'd ever been to. I was excited because I wanted to purchase many more plants for my new home after this first purchase! I wanted this place to be my go-to spot! But they surely didn't care if I was there or not. I eventually found the rose bushes and hovered around them looking at each tag for about 20-30 minutes. No one ever came near me to help, I kept looking around attempting to call someone over, I even walked around the area to try and find someone to come and help me they instead walked by me ignoring me. I was well protected wearing a proper mask (I wasn't going to take any risks w/ COVID) and yet they still wouldn't help me. After watching the staff cherry pick other customers (which some weren't even wearing masks) for a good 30 minutes I chose a random plant and left. My review stems from them having been rude to me by ignoring my and waking right past me numerous times and all I wanted was some direction in finding the best plant for my mom's birthday. It was saddening and disappointing. I wanted the best present for my mom and I feel like a failed at it, she's been wanting a Rose bush for so long for her garden and it's now dead, apparently this one was dying and still out on the floor and I just so happen to grab it. I honestly would not recommend this place to anyone. Customer Service matters and they don't care about you unless you're are THEIR type of customer. They look down on everyone else, they did with me. They ruined my moms birthday present along with my desire to ever go back read more

Witfill nursery is a tradition in my family. My mother used to buy her house plants here and now and now I do the same. Unlike my mother , and her 10 foot kitchen cactus, I have a yard. Witfill has a wonderful selection of cacti and succulents at very reasonable prices. They are healthy as well. My partner and I always stop when we are in town. Usually we by something huge and prickly. Somehow it always fits. This is also a great place to buy a Christmas tree or poinsettia during the holidays. 3years ago we stopped 15 minutes before closing on Christmas Eve for a tree. They not only found the perfect tree but through in free decorations and a few poinsettias. They have peacocks and goats too! I love Witfill because I know that year after year they will still have beautiful plants and great service. read more

Blown away by this place. As someone who oftentimes buys their plants from places like Lowe's or Home Depot, it was such an awesome experience to walk into Whitfill for the first time. A huge selection of all kinds of plants, flowers and other gardening essentials, this sprawling nursery will give you plenty of options. While I assumed the prices would be absurd, I was pleasantly surprised to find that things are pretty conservatively priced. To top it all off, they have beautiful peacocks walking around the property and other fun birds hanging out in the indoor plant section. Highly recommend if you're a fellow plant mom/dad! read more

Whitfills is amazing. They may not have everything, but they certainly try! In addition to acres and acres of healthy trees, shrubs, plants, cacti, and assorted supplies, they have peacocks, parrots, and goats. You can be entertained while you shop. Every time I go there, my wish list grows bigger, and I never leave without buying something. If you haven't been there yet, you NEED to go. The visit will make your soul happy. read more
