Nurseries & Gardening near Laguna Beach, CA

“Husband and I stopped in on our way to catch lunch after a beach day. I can’t tell you how many times I have walked and drove past this pottery shop without stopping in, and now I totally regret I hadn’t all these years! They have so many different types of pots, plants and fountains. Everything is also very reasonably priced. I’ve been searching everywhere for a specific type of pot for our entry way and found it right away. The gentleman who helped us were so nice and down to earth. We will definitely be back to get more!!”

“While visiting Laguna Beach we had the opportunity to visit Ruben's nursery. This a beautiful store with an incredible selection of unique items for your home decor. I highly recommend it!”

“My husband and I just moved to California from the Northeast where the climate and foliage is quite different.
The staff has been very helpful guiding us to know which plants and soils will work for the garden we started at our new home!
Also, we found the staff to be very friendly and informative!”

“Lunch at Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens is always lovely. The gardens are beautiful. My burger was huge and delicious. My husband enjoyed his cobb salad but the chicken was dry. I noticed that when I had a salad with chicken on another visit. Everything except the chicken was excellent. Just don't order chicken.”

“Armstrong Garden Centers is hands down my favorite place to shop for anything plant-related. The staff is always welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable—they’ve helped me pick out everything from drought-tolerant perennials to indoor succulents that even I can keep alive.

The selection is amazing. Whether you're looking for seasonal flowers, vegetable seedlings, or mature trees, they always have high-quality, healthy plants in stock. I also appreciate their selection of pottery, garden tools, and organic fertilizers—it’s basically a one-stop shop for gardeners of all levels.

What really sets Armstrong apart, though, is their customer service. They take the time to answer questions, make great recommendations, and offer planting tips that go beyond what you’d find on a tag or online.

Plus, the store layout is beautiful and easy to navigate, making every visit a peaceful and inspiring experience. I always leave feeling excited to get my hands in the dirt. Highly recommend for both beginner and experienced gardeners!”

“They love their plants there. It's not like when you go into home Depot and you see a bunch of half dead plants that they're just thrown away. And home Depot takes care of their plants way better than Costco. I don't think Costco even bothers to water the plants they have for sale”

“I just had the best customer service experience and had to give a huge shoutout to Brian! His level of service is beyond impressive and truly stands out—something you won’t find in 99% of stores. He went above and beyond: he offered to clean the saucer I was buying, gave me a discount because it had a small chip, and even used a Sharpie to cover it up! Brilliant move. He suggested I could touch it up with black nail polish if I had some, offered paper to wrap it in, and even delivered it to my car! Talk about exceptional service. A massive thank you to Brian for making my day!”

“Plant Depot never disappoints! The selection of indoor and outdoor plants is great. The staff is awesome too. On multiple occasions, Master Gardener, Kathleen Cobb, has gone out of her way to assist me in selecting and rehoming some beautiful plants. Thanks to her suggestions they are thriving.”

“I am so glad to find Seaside Growers. Debbie and Matt greeted me and were so helpful. I have a full backyard project ahead of me, and I learned so much. I didn’t feel any pressure. I plan to buy from Seaside for this project. They have a huge selection, all which look very healthy, even in late January.”

“Wow!!! I had a the Best experience here! The gentleman that helped me really knew his way around this store with no problem at all. I would like to give a huge shout out to Gregg! I extremely appreciate his professional knowledge. Gregg was very patient with me and all of my questions. He listened to me and made me feel comfortable! We literally laughed and had a great time sharing our household projects. In my opinion Gregg deserves employee of the year!!! Thank u soo much Gregg for being an Amazing human! I really appreciate u! Keep thriving and keep that great smile on your face because you Rock!!!”

“Probably the best nursery I've been to! I was pleasantly surprised at how huge this place is, with tons of variety of plans, at a reasonable price, too! I also was given nice advice by (maybe?) the owner, a young gentleman who made suggestions for the plants I purchased. Thanks!”

“Just used them for my sister in laws baby shower and oh my goodness the arrangements were gorgeous. More beautiful than I ever could have imagined! They also designed a beautiful flower crown, gave me some loose flowers for the cake, and even had a sweet gift for the baby to be. Delivery was prompt, service was exceptional and florals were gorgeous. Highly recommend!”

“The Nursery by Southwinds is a total hidden gem of Irvine, highly recommend!

Have been a few times and will continue to go”

“Came here for the first time today. I’ve been eyeing it every day on my commute for years. The variety of plants they have is unmatched in California. The staff were very helpful and took the time to show us around and show us the plants. Ask for Jake he’s very knowledgeable and helpful. A true horticulturalist.”

“I recently decorated my boutique with artificial plants from Pacific Silk Plants, and the result is fantastic. The plants look incredibly real, and my customers often compliment the vibrant and lush atmosphere. The ordering process was smooth, and the customer service team was very accommodating when I needed to make changes to my order. The plants arrived on time and in perfect condition. I'm extremely pleased and will definitely recommend Pacific Silk Plants to others.”

“Home Depot on Lake Forest has a wide selection of items to choose from. They provide items for low budget projects with the option of buying higher quality items which adds longevity to the project.
They offer a myriad of discounts for contractors, military and credit card holders.
The store is generally neat without a lot of products blocking the aisles. There are an ample number of associates to provide direction and answer questions about the location of products.
Returns are completed quickly and efficiently. I have found that sometimes it's better to purchase extra items so you have options to complete your project without making multiple trips. This has saved time and gas because you can return the excess material on your next project.”

“Devil Mountain Nursery is one of the best wholesalers! The staff are always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Plus the amount of plants available is amazing. When I need to check availability or prices they quickly get that information. And if they don't have the plant available they often try their best to source it. All around great experience. Please note that as a wholesaler, they are not open to the public so normal consumers who want to purchase from them needs to have a contractor.”

“Trying their compost out for the first time, used it as a top, mulch layer. So far so good. I'm sure it will do alright since it's applied to the top (composts will kill most plants if you plant directly into it).”

“I could say A LOT about the 120lb washer I ordered new online arriving used, dented, and leaking, but the truth is I'm just grateful the manager, Curtis, understood my predicament and took the intiative to make sure I got the help needed to send the 120lb washer back as soon as possible.

Thank you Max for the followup and a HUGE thanks to Louie and Randy for driving over and bringing the washer back with such a great attitude. We should all be glad to know such great service is here in Costa Mesa.”

“Felix is awesome. Very nice, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I brought my Toro mower here which wasn’t starting. He fixed it so that it started more easily than any mower I’d ever tried to start.”

“This Home Depot is exactly what you need it to be. Big, stocked, and generally organized. You can get in, find what you need, and get out without burning half your day.

Staff varies, but when you find someone who knows their department, they’re helpful. Pro tip is go in with a plan and you’ll be fine.

As someone who works locally, I’m constantly dealing with vendors, repairs, and prep work for listings. Clients ask me about places like this when they’re thinking about maintaining or upgrading a home. This location gets the job done.

Parking is easy, checkout is quick if you avoid peak hours.

It’s not fancy. It’s functional. That’s exactly what you want.”

“I love Home Depot for it materials that I can quickly purchase, and I love the variety quality of the materials, and I love the people that work there. For the most part, they are helpful and knowledgeable. I am mainly, however, writing this review to acknowledge an exemplary employee, who turned negative things around and made my latest visit a very positive appointment.The story of that visit.As excellent as Home Depot is, there, is one issue, however, that has failed to improve over the years, and that is communication by phone. I have had multiple phone, call, disconnects, and people who were not knowledgeable that should not have been answering the phone to give advice or information. Case in point. I drove to my local Home Depot in Mission Viejo, California, yesterday morning, just before they opened at 6 AM. I was trying to find out information about their Christmas tree lot, a place where we have purchased our trees through the years, and been extremely satisfied with the quality and variety of the trees they have there a lot. As I approach the area with a lot was, I saw no signs outside, showing the times that they were opened, so I decided to call (not wanting to get out of my car on the cold morning and go inside. The automated system gave me multiple hangups, so I decided to wait until a later time. I called again at seven, and then again at eight, but could not reach any live person. I eventually did have someone answer the phone call, but I could not understand him, nor could he understand me. He transferred me to customer service, that ended up being a warranty Department at another location. The woman was helpful, and she gave me information; however, the information was incorrect. She told me that the lot would be opened at 6 AM, which was not true, and she also told me that there would be a new Monday morning delivery of fresh trees, but that they would not be offloaded until Tuesday morning, so I should just wait patiently until the next day.My better judgment, and my knowledge of how the workers at the Christmas tree lot are always ready to offload and always ready to help prompted me to visit the lot in person at 1 PM on Monday. Ali greeted me, asked if he could help, and told me that they were at that moment, offloading the delivery that it just came in. he was only able to pick out an excellent tree for me, but he on the car, gave suggestions about taking it off the car. When I got home, apologize for the incorrect information I had received earlier, and sent me on my way, another successful Home Depot visit, successful only because of an employee who, at this busy pre-Christmas time, chose to go above and beyond.”

“The rental service is amazing. I got the most help I could need from Jersey. The knowledge that was given to me and how clean the vehicle was, was amazing. It was fast, smooth and easily the best service I could have ever wanted. The return was just as amazing! Jersey was able to explain everything there is needed to know. Her ability to work with multiple customers AND get you in and out of their shop was unlike any other store I've ever been too. She's friendly and above all a hard worker! She made sure that the truck I was getting, was ready to go and that it was in the best shape before sending it out. I recommend using this Home Depot rental service for your needs that are within there area to help. More importantly if you want the most information on tools there talk to her. This store has improved greatly since hiring someone like her and I will definitely return if I am ever in need of a vehicle.”
