“It is a well-designed, well-maintained place with adequate free parking, a variety of potted fruit, flower and vegetable plants with live roots, as well as garden supplies and clothing items for sale in the sales store. I went just to observe and it was a good experience for me.”

“Walking into Planter Sam’s shop almost took my breath away. It’s packed with plants whose healthy leaves glisten in many shades of green and yellow. Such a variety of plants and sizes. I was given lots of helpful information on sun, potting and temperature from Sam, her husband and other clerks on my two visits this month. There were lots of pot colors and sizes. I am so glad I had one of the plants repotted for me by staff. The other two smaller ones I did at home but the convenience is well worth the minimal charge. I really like the small macrame hanging I bought to fill in a bare corner. And I picked up a unique birthday card with a garden theme. I’m so glad this lovely small-business is in my San Marcos neighborhood — but it’s easy to get to from anywhere in north county. Value - selection - customer service - easy parking — ALL 5-star.”

“Prachtig tuincentrum met ontzettend groot assortiment. Je voelt de liefde die de eigenaar in het opkweken van de plantjes heeft gestopt. Ontzettend groot assortiment en heel duidelijk gesorteerd. Heelvriendlijk en klantgericht.”

“Lot was smaller than I thought, but still a nice visit browsing and wandering. Like other reviewers said, prices for soil, pots, and plants were surprisingly priced competitively -- might as well support an independent nursery! Came for Mia Carville's blueberry class February 17, 2024 and it was very helpful to me. Simple and clear instructions. I heard someone else say this was the third time they've attended this class. I was looking for a product that was sold out and staff were really helpful in trying to help me locate it and then letting me know I could come back in a week when they would be restocked.”

“I am so impressed with the customer service at this business! I have always had good experiences here, but Paige provided my husband and I with outstanding care! I can't express how helpful and kind she was to not only us but other customers, too. She was quite informative about the products, and she really went the extra mile with an extra big smile!”

“Great customer service. They're very friendly and the place gives great vibes, but I wish they had more selection of plants. I haven't been there in a while because whenever I'd go, it was always the same plants. I still go once in a while just to see.”

“I usually go to get compost. As an Oceanside resident, I get free compost (for personal use around the house). 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, they have a truck to load your truck/trailer for $2. The staff is nice. I miss the old way they did it. It's a little harder to pre setup my truck, but isn't too bad and it's my only 'complaint.'”

“Awesome, awesome, awesome! Cannot recommend this spot enough. Good selection of gorgeous plants and at the most reasonable prices I've seen in a while. The owner is a sweetheart who was more than happy to talk with us about her plants, make recommendations, and give care advice. Excited to make my next trip up here”

“I would consider my wife a semi-pro expert at orchids. Her go to person is Andy. There is no one better in Southern California or maybe anywhere. His selection is unmatched. I mean rows and rows and so many different kinds of orchids. There is no place better than Andy's.”

“I love this place!! We bought a home and had the previous owner had a massive hippo statue that was in the front yard. Unfortunately once we closed on the house, the owner took the hippo. He told me he purchased at Cordova decades ago. So I contacted Cordova myself and after about 25-30 years they tracked down the mold through different companies and ordered me the hippo to replace the previous one. Super thrilled with the replaced addition and the staff for tracking this down for me!”

“Amalia’s Succulent is my kind of nursery.Whimsical grounds and a great array of gifts and plants. Huge nursery and helpful workers, the succulents are bountiful and affordable. My only concern is I have only been here once , even though I wanted to come here all the time there is no way for me to come from Monday to Friday as I’m working full time from 8am to 4pm, and on weekends they are not open which is mostly plant parents are off work and that is the day for them to do their garden projects , I would suggest to have the weekends open so we can maximize our time and maybe the staff can have their day off on Monday and Tuesday which will give them time too to do their errands on a weekday. And still good for the business and good for plant parents. I don’t know where I can come here again because of their business hours until then I can check out more nurseries that is open on weekends in the surrounding area which also offers the same quality of plants.”

“I have been shopping at this nursery often for the last year primarily because of the tremendous Customer Service I have received from Gillian. She is the one that is always there on Saturdays and Sundays. As far as I can tell, this feeling is shared by most every customer (new or repeat customer). Sometimes the wait is a little longer because Gillian is so thorough in answering customer questions. In my case, she has also taught me a great deal about succulents and cacti. I strongly recommend visiting this stand, it is a wonderful experience.”

“Really glad we found this place! We came looking for outdoor patio plants (almost missed the entrance, it looks like a driveway at first glance) and were very pleased with what we came home with. Affordable prices and the owner was so helpful in answering our questions, helping us select the plants that met our needs (we were looking for tall narrow plants that could create some privacy between our patio and our neighbor's), and in helping us pack the plants for safe transport home. Thank you!!”

“Referral from Briggs, since I was looking for Arecas and they sent me to Tony. Great discovery, he has a fabulous nursery in Vista. Amazing collection of banana plants. Got a Musa banana Sumatrana x cross as an impulse buy, in addition to a stout 20gal Areca. Delivered to my door. Even helped me with sound advice on my avocado tree in my yard. Tony knows his stuff!”

“This place is insane it is a wholesale nursery so don't come here expecting to be able to buy a plant you have to have a business license in a resale number and you have to purchase at least $450 or more of stuff. This place is a nursery that sells to other nurseries that people buy from. Having said that if you have a business license and a business selling plants this place is absolutely insane they specialize in rare cactus and succulents there really is not another like it and they've been around for over 60 years. In order to make a reservation to come visit call in person and leave a message and they will get back to you explain what it is that exactly you're after if you do show up without calling show up to the office and speak to the owner and worker.”

“This is by far the best place in the region to buy succulents. Tremendous variety and extremely fair prices. They usually have a buy-2 get one free sale of some sort. They also have some very creative display designs - hanging fence boxes and such. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Right off the 5 at the Leucadia offramp!”

“These guys are amazing! I’ve ordered multiple plants and everything has been top notch quality. The pricing is very fair considering they have plants that you simply can’t find anywhere else. Communication has also been fantastic. Highly recommended, although I kind of want to keep this secret to myself.”

“This guy is at the Thursday Oceanside Farmer's Market now! If you're wondering why his brick-and mortar store has poor hours, this is probably one of the reasons why. This business breathed new life into my opinion of farmers markets- in a world where buying local is now typically more expensive than going to chain grocery stores, the prices here are very modest. I am super happy! He had mini succulent gardens for 3$, hanging plants at 10$ each or 2 for 15. I found a bird nest fern for 15$, including taxes. There is a 50-cent credit card usage fee, and that's certainly reasonable. While I do look forward to shopping at his actual nurseries, I will happily make weekly pilgrimages to the Oceanside Farmer's Market to see what he has to sell.”

“I recently purchased two museum palo verde trees from Moon Valley. The entire process was seamless from selection and payment to delivery and install. The sales rep was so kind, not pushy at all and never tried to upsell me. The manager also introduced himself while I was finalizing my purchase, also very friendly & welcoming. Moon was in regular communication with me, keeping me current on install details etc. Delivery was smooth! I was very impressed with the install/delivery team. These trees are fairly large, 8-10 year olds approx 10ft high, 24x24 crates, very heavy. The crew had everything off the flatbed and installed expertly in under an hour. This crew was top notch! There are many other plants in the location of the new trees, the crew was careful not to disturb any existing items. I feel very good about the placement of these new trees, clear instruction for proper care and watering was also provided and Moon also followed up with me directly to ensure my satisfaction. I did remove 1 star due to the price only... I found these trees elsewhere much cheaper however, the convenience of working with Moon as well as the the customer service was a tradeoff I was willing to make. Would definitely recommend especially if you are looking for mature trees.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Brandon today. He was full of knowledge that he lovingly shared with us. He knew so much about composting, soil health and growing food. If you have questions about gardening he's your guy! Not only that, he is also compassionate and generous and makes beautiful jewelry! We're so grateful to meet him at Grangettos today and look forward to going back!”

“Also recently ordered a pair of Electric EG2 goggles from them online. The goggles came slightly scratched, but since they didn't have any more in stock, I was given the option of an additional discount to my charge, or another pair of goggles that they did have in stock which would have been shipped out next day.”

“Mike provide superb on-site personalized services, including expert landscape design and placement of flowers and plants. Mike was very patient with us as we took many decisions on where to plant items; he provided hands on advice on the new irrigation work, including doing a last minute check to make sure all of the new plantings had the right amount of irrigation. I would highly recommend Green Acres Nursery for your residential landscape work.”
