Gorgeous and healthy plants, along with an unending array of thoughtfully curated Artisan decor, health / beauty products, accessories and gifts. This shop is a delightful treat to explore on a weekend morning. Thanks to everyone working here for cultivating a wonderful pocket of beauty in the area ♡

The younger lady was helpful though initially distant. The older lady rushed me at the last minute, informing me somewhat rudely that the store was about to close (such boundaries can be expressed politely), and I ended up regretting my purchase.

A lovely local nursery with excellent, avant-garde home furnishings and garden accessories. The plants are always different from what other nurseries usually offer, with no shortage of rare succulents/perennials.The staff are always very helpful and polite.

Interesting and different type of nursery. Gone here about 6 times. Either they never have what I need or it’s too expensive.

Fair Oaks Nursery has lost a customer they have sold to for decades due to the treatment I experienced over a small purchase! In July I brought back 3 Mexican sunflowers I bought there. I have planted these plants every year but as these particular ones matured, they looked funny. I googled them and then contacted a plant specialist in Davis. All information seemed to indicate that these were not rotundifolia but an invasive type, Tithonia diversifolia. I explained the concern to the manager and a man named Terry. The manager just walked away but Terry was concerned and said he would contact the seller. Despite me having my receipt and bringing them three healthy, but possibly misidentified plants, they had me leave my plants there. I unhappily walked away with no plants, no store credit nor refund. Terry later called me and said, "the nursery will plant the plants I brought in and if they have yellow flowers, they are the invasive and if they are orange, they are the good ones." I never heard from them again. I normally shop there for all my summer annuals but due to the way they handled this issue, I didn't spend a dime there. I went back in October and saw Terry again. He said the plants turned out to be ok, the non-invasive ones. I explained how I gave them the plants, again showed him my receipt but wasn't offered a store credit or refund. Terry said he would recommend the manager call me. I never heard from them. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars there over the years. Now, I will never shop there, nor recommend them ever again.

If I could have zero stars I would. As someone who frequent nurseries, I know exactly where I need to go. I have never walked into a place and was met with such judgement. I actually was looked up and down by one of the employees. I understand that this nursery is in a more upscale part of town and I do look a bit alternative, but I could not stop thinking about how horribly o felt being in this store. If you don't stereotypically look like you have money, I would avoid this place because they will follow you everywhere.

Amazing nursery with some rather unique plants and trees. Some I haven't seen anywhere around town. I was just passing by but ended up spending a quite a bit of time aquiring some plants I've been looking for. There's still some corners I missed so I'll be back. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The owner was as nice as can be.

I have past by this place a couple times and finally stopped in to look around. I was very glad I did. They place was relaxing to walk around. I loved the feel of this nursery. Before making my purchase I asked a question about transplanting a nectarine that is in a fifteen gallon pot, and the roots have escaped the pot and went into the ground. I was given great advice and look forward to visiting again

I have been to Fair Oaks Blvd. Nursery several time, usually spending $100+ on stuff I don't need. Occasionally I buy some plants. I prefer supporting small local businesses. The past two times I've arrived has been about 15-20 minutes prior to closing. As I walked in, a woman came up to me and said, "Is there anything I can helping you with because we're getting ready to close." Twice this happened to me. The first time I let it go. Yesterday I said to this woman that each time I come, I am treated very rudely. Apparently, FOBN doesn't really need my business or my money. Her response: "Works for me.". There is a cost to acquire business. it's called advertising and marketing. There is also a cost to keeping the clients and customers you have. There are courteous ways of reaching the end of your day with customers. This is not the way. The employer and employees don't see any reason to be respectful. Obviously, I won't return.

Recently moved to the area from another part of Sacramento. Thought we’d buy some new plants from the local nursery. Upon getting them home, 2 cheaper plants didn’t fit the theme of our yard. My forgetful older husband couldn’t find the receipt. No worries I thought. Wrong. Wouldn’t even exchange for a more expensive plant. Even the employee who helped us remembered me. Bought the expensive plant and donated the 2 plants to the nursery. Beware, keep your receipt. There’s no exceptions. Live and learn.

Outstanding ! They have a great selection of plants and trees and super nice staffing. I called and left a message that I was looking for a Cara Cara Orange tree but not a semi dwarf, I wanted a standard or full size. They called me back right away and I was there the next morning to pick one out . I guess what I liked most about the nursery was the stock wasn’t just the same boring plants and trees everyone else has, like Hot Pink Bougainvillea, they had Royal Purple and San Diego Red coming in… Black Bamboo, and Bauhinea Blakeana, Hong Kong Orchid Trees. Which can only be propagated by cutting, and not easy to find.Overall I found Fair Oaks to be a great little nursery with ample parking, good location, and friendly staffing.
