“Golden Nursery is my fav nursery for the new plants hunting in San Mateo. They have many unique types of plants you can find here such as herbs, fruit trees, ground covers, perennials, ferns, succulents, house plants, seeds, bulbs, ect. It’s fun that I usually get something interesting as my new plant buddies whenever I came here. Looking forward to visiting here again! ?”
“My wife and I were married at the San Mateo Arboretum in June of 2019, it just occurred to me I should post a review! We were very happy with the venue, we had the wedding out in the garden with about 52 people. We used the Pump House to stage things, and had the buffet tables outside. We were able to bring in a catering truck with a pizza oven, and the caterer provided the servers to stage the food and serve the drinks. Our contact helped us with the logistics and was there for the event, when there was an issue with another event in the park blocking the access she quickly worked it out with them and got the path cleared. There are some limitations to work with: no real kitchen for cooking, no dishwashing, and the interior would be cramped for 45 people, so hope for clear weather and bring a mobile caterer. Don't expect to play really loud music or have a big dance party on the grass. But for a small low-key wedding the garden is fantastic, and makes a wonderful backdrop. The price is very affordable, and we were able to book it with 4 months notice, so it was a very good option for us... Highly recommended if it fits your needs!”
“Wowie zowie!! Berto leapt up from lunch to personally guide me through the nursery. We thought about numerous plants that might work in the space I wanted to fill. What a cool guy and a beautiful nursery. I'm so appreciative and I can't wait to put my new baby in the garden.”
“Don’t understand why the ratings are so low. I dealt with Jube (sorry if I got name wrong) and set up a scenario for him over phone. Long story short, we moved and wouldn’t be able to deliver same day but he stated so long as we are there next day by 7am(730am cutoff), we’d be squared away.
Answered all my questions and took time to answer back despite closing hours (7:57pm call in).
Appreciate the team here.”
“What a large variety of products to look at and compare in store, not just online! Two employees helped me find unusual items and walked me to the right aisle and bay, very pleasant. Checkout was straightforward. Highly recommend.”
“We hired Blossoms and Botanicals for our wedding reception at Domenico Winery in San Carlos, and we were blown away by the product that Regina and her team put together. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted when we reached out, but knew she was a preferred vendor at our venue and thought she would have a good idea of what would work in that space. Regina knew the venue inside and out and helped us tweak some of our ideas to work well in the space. She also agreed to try something new that we were interested in, and it worked out so well. She showed us examples of potential arrangements, had several different options for floral arches for photos, and when we ended up with an extra table on the day of was able to put together an extra centerpiece at the last minute.
Regina also made sure to wait until the flowers she would be using were in season so we could get the best idea of what our centerpieces would look like.
The arrangements and décor themselves were incredible, we got so many compliments from all of our guests at how beautiful and unique the flowers were, and the quality exceeded our expectations on all levels. If we ever need flowers for anything in the future we will be using Blossoms and Botanicals, and definitely recommend them for any special occasion you might need flowers for.”
