Be very cautious if you're buying compost for growing vegetables. I used this compost to grow…read moretomatoes, peas, and peppers, and all of them showed signs of herbicide damage before eventually dying. The compost contains herbicide residue--likely persistent types that are harmful to sensitive crops. When I brought this up to the owner, he blamed my growing techniques and even suggested testing my native soil. I declined, and instead asked him to test the compost I bought--which he refused. It quickly turned into a blame game, and I chose to end the discussion. I'm posting this review so others can make informed decisions before using this compost. For reference, here are some research articles discussing herbicide residue and its impact: https://www.montana.edu/extension/pesticides/reference/contamination.html https://psdocs.spes.vt.edu/AOFT/Plant_Injury_Herbicide_Residue.pdf The owner mentioned a common herbicide with a half-life of 6.2 days, but research shows some types can be up to 433 days. He also said he had sent his compost samples for testing and received good results--but how can we be sure the compost sold to customers is the same as what was tested? In the end, it's up to each buyer to judge for themselves.

I really appreciated how they listened to me about aesthetic values. They planted little edible flowers in the front of the beds so that I have flowers as well. Beyond satisfied and just over the moon with each person that came to our home and provided such caring service. I've already got strawberries, lettuce, spinach, just yum. Cost wise, it was exactly what we anticipated and well worth it. Thanks all of you!

If you're like me and don't have a gardening background, this company will give you all the support you need. They helped me find the best location for the vegetables and trees, hooked up irrigation, and are helping me take care of the plants. I have a kumquat tree on the way and am thinking about what to add next. Best of all, everyone I have worked with has been positive, knowledgeable, and caring. Great experience!

I recently visited Aki Nursery and had a good experience. Having lived in OC most my life, I didn't…read moreknow this nursery had such a variety of plants, gardening supplies, and decorative pots.. This nursery has a peaceful and well-organized layout. They had a wonderful selection of popular items including indoor plants, succulents, orchids, fruit trees, flowering plants, and bonsai. Since I am into succulents it was nice to see the variety they had in stock. Only downside is the pricing of these succulents. I also looked at orchid and pondered whether to replace my indoor collection but the pricing was a bit too high for me to justify replacing all my indoor orchid plants. So instead, I picked one new succulent and one beautiful purple orchis and checked out. I also browsed their collection of ceramic planters and seasonal garden decorations to get some inspiration for my own backyard. Overall, service was good. The staff was very knowledgeable about plant care and watering tips and they gave me advice on keeping my succulents and orchids alive. HAHA we will see how they behave in the next few months. In conclusion, good shopping experience here. Will be back here if my new plants need more tender loving care advice!

Lynn came to my home this past Monday morning. When I greeted her she was extremely cold,…read moredismissive, and rude. I proceeded to take her to our backyard, and her bad attitude continued. When I told her that I love gardenias and hydrangeas she looked at me like I did not know what I was talking about. She suggested I plant "Rosemary" and then rudely asked what our style was? I took a Horticulture class in college and landscaped my first home, so I have an idea about plants. She then told me that the job was too small. I was annoyed as I specifically told her our backyard was a typical tract home in the OC, not very big. My previous experience with Silver Creek Nursery's back in 1997 was so different in comparison. They were so lovely and assisted with planting ideas along with planting a tree we purchased from them and other plants. I was so offended by Lynn that I needed to post on Yelp to warn others as Silver Creek Nursery is not what it was back then, and do not waste your time with Lynn. As far as I am concerned she can plant "Rosemary" in her own yard.....
