Amazing selection of large, lush plants. Prices are to die for and friendly staff, it's a new favorite!

We own a nearby residential complex and just finished with the remodel. Our landscape needs updating so we googled the nearest nursery and found Maria Garden Center. The selection wasn't that great and some of their plants are much pricier than her competitors. Maria's employee said landscaping contractors gets a 20%. We asked him if he can look up our contractors information since he has shopped at Maria Garden Center before. We were told our landscaper has to physically be at the store. So we called our landscaper and he said he can be there later in the day to get the order. Maria then came to inform us even if he showed up later she won't honor the discount since she has to restock the item plus she will charge us 20% restocking fee. We told Maria that doesn't make sense because that defeats the purpose of us picking out our own plants. Other nurseries we have purchased at allowed us to pick our own plants and they put it aside for us until our contractor can come by later to pick up. Maria got mad and said she is the owner and she is the one who decides who gets the discounts or not. She is extremely rude and disrespectful to us. We decided to take our business elsewhere. We went to Ricardo's nursery instead. Better service, better selection and cheaper prices. With so many great nurseries out there, why buy from someone who treats their customers that way? We won't be recommending this garden center to anyone in the future.

Great garden center, so Maria's has become our "go to first" outlet for garden items.

My mother and I visited Maria's Garden Center this week, and we were surprised by how large the lot is. We didn't explore the entirety of the grounds, but we were able to casually see a lot of what was offered. All the plants looked healthy. My biggest criticism is that no one greeted us upon entry, but once we found and asked an employee if they had any dwarf lemon trees, and the employee said no, we saw no point in looking further because that's what we were primarily shopping for.

We worked with Jasmin to get pea gravel for our project. Communication was great and she got everything delivered on time, before the holidays. The truck driver, I did not get your name, but was very friendly and unloaded the rocks right where we needed them. Excellent truck driver by the way, I didn't see a backup camera on that bad boy, but he was able to navigate that truck into our narrow driveway and frequent cross traffic with no problem.Thank you and Happy Holidays

I was told to call this garden center and they said they had a 5gallon plant that I needed in stock. They even text me a tag of the variety I was interested in which I was very appreciative of. They provided me the price so I went the next day (today). I asked the ladies in the office and the men in the field and they directed me to the plants. I searched and found 2 gallon plants, a couple of them and since they're pretty challenging to keep healthy they didn't look their best.They do have a lot of healthy looking plants like salvias, but I didn't find what I needed. It's disappointing to drive out to Carson when they say they have something and they don't. It's a waste of time and gas. I was really looking forward to buying this plant. The people answering the phones need to learn what 2 gallons vs 5 gallons is. It's essentially a 1-6 year difference in a plants life and it doesn't fruit until the 3rd year. I found a Salvia Amistad 5 gallon for $20 which is $5 cheaper than other garden centers near me. It looked very nice too. But I simply left empty handed as I felt a discouraged after my interaction with the other plant I was intending to buy. They need more helpers to assist customers, more signs to know how much the compost, soil and fertilizers are. And more signs in general for perennials and shade plants. The place has potential as a garden center for general customers, but they probably make most of their money selling to other garden centers or contractors. Oh well.

Great choice of most anything you'd need for your landscaping or small gardening needs....I bought a lovely yellow bell 5gallon flowering plant w a good pot for $33 total, a great house gift that will last for years. Grab a little wagon around the entrance, and shop away!

We came to get some milkweed plants, but found their prices higher for this plant than other nurseries, but they do offer a $5 off $20 if you check in on yelp. They didn't have the exact milkweed plant I wanted, so we ended up not buying anything. However, just walking through, we found the nursery very clean and organized. The trees were all lined up perfectly, and everything was well tended to. We didn't stop to look at the other varieties of plants they offered, but it was a pretty small nursery.
