Read many comments on Reddit and other sites recommending this nursery yet on Yelp, there were many complaints of ordering online and never receiving their order or never there during business hours.

Both plants are thriving and already producing so much fruit. It's honestly been so rewarding to watch them grow and flourish. You can really tell the quality and care that goes into their plants. Highly recommend if you're willing to invest a little more for healthy, productive plants!

We got a very cute little money tree for $10 inside a cute pot! We went to another nursery and saw the same size trees/smaller than the ones at Temple for about the same price but sold without a nice ceramic pot, so this was definitely a better buy here. We also got this really cute little bamboo that was also sold within a nice ceramic pot for about $10. When we got to the register we saw the same bamboo in the same pot behind the register, but it looked healthier. I said to my boyfriend, "Do you think we should ask to get that one instead?" The cashier overheard and grabbed the nicer bamboo and got it ready for us! He even grabbed some of the stalks from the other bamboo plant we originally grabbed and transplanted it into our new pot to give us even more/make it look bigger and nicer. Again, he did all this without us even asking or saying anything so this was super nice!! They also have cheap pots here that are very traditional chinese looking with the painted flowers and birds. We bought a beautiful pot for only $9 here with a cute little drip tray that almost looked like a teacup saucer at restaurants. They also had some $3 small pots that would be great for succulents. The pots were kinda dirty and covered in spiderwebs, but honestly the price was good and they were still in great condition so i didnt care LOL They had some funny little animal pots too with frogs and elephants. This place was cute and affordable and the staff was nice to us, so id go back again! Just wish i had a yard so i could get some of these fruit trees! Parking was easy. They have a little lot, but the spots are a little tight. It wasn't an issue, though! They also take credit card here.

This was my first experience at San Gabriel Nursery, and I want to start by saying they do have a…read morereally impressive selection. I'm very happy with the plants I brought home, and it's clear they carry a wider variety than many local nurseries. That said, my customer service experience was mixed, and it left me unsure about whether I'd go back. Some of the pricing felt a bit high compared with other places I've shopped. I also had an interaction with an employee that felt more pushy than helpful. I asked about a smaller Queensland bottle tree, but since they didn't have one in stock, he kept suggesting a money tree instead. I explained that I wasn't interested and had already seen similar money trees elsewhere for much less, but the conversation continued longer than I was comfortable with. At checkout, I also had an awkward moment regarding the Descanso Gardens membership discount. I showed an email addressed to me confirming my membership, but was told they needed the actual membership number. I understand that stores have policies, but the interaction could have been handled in a friendlier, more flexible way. Overall, I love what I purchased, and the nursery is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for variety. However, if you're looking for something specific, I'd recommend calling in advance to confirm availability before making the trip. Between the higher pricing and my customer service experience, I'd be hesitant to spend money there again unless I knew exactly what I was looking for and felt the price was worth it.

When we arrived, we realized we went to the wrong location (our first visit to Mimosa Nursery was somewhere else apparently!) But we still found what we needed. It was a little hard to find at first, so when you arrive, you might not really see the entrance, so I'll attach photos of what to look for. We were the only ones there, got help when we needed it, and found what we were looking for. It's self-guided; no one greeted us or spoke to us until we needed someone to talk to. The people we were speaking with were knowledgeable about their plants and helpful in packing it so dirt wouldn't fall out. Super easy for us to get in & get out, and I'm sure we'll be coming back again for more!

The original owners are now long gone, but Mike has continued running the business in the same style and fashion as the original owners. Mike is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The company doesn't need to advertise; his customers' good words does that. If Mike doesn't have what you need, he can get it for you or send you to another nursery. The nursery is not a retail establishment; however, if you are planning to redo your yard and need a lot of plants, you can send your landscaper to Sakaida and Mike will work with him, or you. Or if you want a couple of big trees. If you want just a few plants, go to San Gabriel Nursery; they are a great outfit. Sure, you can get plants cheaper at Home Depot, but their sales people aren't nurserymen and they really don't know anything about plants, soils, fertilizer, growing seasons, watering, etc. If you want to buy a tree, Mike is going to ask "Where are you going to plant it?" I was going to buy a couple of large mulberry trees and plant them in the front yard and he warned: "Don't plant it near the driveway or sidewalk...as it gets older, it is going to raise them!" Mike saved me from a disaster. You won't get this kind of advice at Home Depot.

When they were checking out the paint the employee named Carlo spilled it all over the table and became very frustrated since he spilled it over his jeans. From then he decided to ignore me and asked another employee named Christine to take over.
