Walter Andersen's Nursery is a family-owned business in San Diego, operating since 1928. It is known for its incredible and unmatched selection of plants, including edible plants and herbs, all offered at decent prices. The nursery features a relaxing vibe with ponds, waterfalls, and a train set that delights visitors of all ages. Customers appreciate the friendly staff and excellent customer service, making it a great spot for families. The nursery also offers a variety of fun pots and garden accessories. Many visitors return frequently, enjoying the helpful team and the quality of the plants. Walter Andersen's is a favorite destination for gardening enthusiasts and casual shoppers alike.
Staff is always helpful. Selection is always great. Prices are a bit higher than other places but I think their plants are better and grown locally. The garden train is pretty cool as well.

Adams is an absolute standout at Walter Anderson Nursery. He is incredibly knowledgeable, polite, and truly an expert in his field. We drive from a very far distance specifically for his advice and competence. It’s rare to find someone so helpful and professional—he is the reason we keep coming back. Thank you so much!

This lovely nursery is my favorite place for high quality plants. In the last year or so, Andersen’s has really stepped up their native plants selection. My daughter and I visited recently and were greeted by the new native plants manager, who was super nice and very knowledgeable. Congratulations on a job well done!!
