Located on El Camino, in North Atascadero, is Bay Laurel. This place has a large selection of plants and many non gmo vegetable plants. Many workers with knowledge and are friendly. My only knock is that they don't really caring Organic Vegetables and Fruits. *Please stock more ORGANIC!* read more

No clue how I haven't written a review about this place but it is our favorite local nursery in North County!! They have a wide variety of plants, succulents, trees, flowers, etc., as well as a smaller enclosed office where you purchase the items, filled with lots of wonderful indoor plants! They also have a some really cool pots, fountains, sculptures and garden decorations scattered throughout. Everyone here is so helpful and friendly, and they have the cutest garden cats roaming around and sun bathing (and they love cuddles)! Highly recommend this nursery! read more

Overall a really good nursery: Marcia runs a good business and gives good advice, my only gripe is one of her staff is arrogant, but I will attribute that to his youth... read more

I didn't go inside. My gf did, looking for bamboo. Pretty big nursery with a nice big dirt parking lot. Never have to worry about parking. Looks like 2 guys helping my gf so seems to be good customer service. I'll know more when she gets back from her voyage. Some good shade for cars too. Looks like sycamore? I could be wrong. Not very good at distinguishing trees or plants except for walnuts which I have a few at my house. Oh here she comes now. Guess they do have bamboo. And about same price as everywhere else. She would like 1 gallon but everyone only has 5 gallon. Customer service was good she says. read more

If you're looking for exceptional service and exquisite quality of plants. Bay Laurel is the place. Whoever the dude with the burley beard was this past weekend....totally appreciated your time, patience and your help! This is why you come to a place like this! read more

Still on the prowl for succulents in every corner of the county. We drove up to visit my niece in Templeton, and stopped at this shady nursery located beside a huge ancient oak tree. Lots of parking on a dirt road beside the mostly outdoors nursery. They have a great assortment of plants, and not too many of any one kind, so you can enjoy looking around. I checked out the tiny succulents first, but since I had just gotten some itty bitty ones, I was called by a Dr. Seuss looking crazy succulent with three blossoming sprouts. I knew it was going home with me. Then I wandered around the plant groupings and enjoyed the plants that are more suited to the colder climate in the North county. They even had cold tolerant succulents, which hadn't occured to me for SLO. Prices were also slightly lower than SLO. The owner was peppy and friendly as I checked out. He set off to help another customer, and you could tell that you get personalized service here. This is a friendly, happy place, and I will be sure to return when I have more time to look and linger! read more

Woman was knowledgeable & willing to help ... we'll be back in spring for the plants we want if we're in the area .. appreciated her help

I was thankful for Jeff's knowledge of what I was looking for and what was needed to Maintain my Palms and succulents.

I was there for the first time in years , the wide range of plants , trees, and merchandise surprised me. I loved shopping for my plants.

Favorite area nursery for ease of layout, variety and the friendly, knowledgeable service they provide. Sometimes I'm just browsing, not sure exactly what it is I'm looking for, but they always let me take as much time as I need. When I have questions they're always able to answer them, whether it be about planting, location, sunlight, water, feeding.... A couple of weeks ago a few of their potted trees looked a little wilted and distressed - "Do they need more water?", I asked. "No," she said, "the cold snap shocked them, but they'll bounce back in a few days." And she was right, they did. Great selection of pottery, statuary, fountains and garden art, too. Everything you need to give life to the garden of your dreams. read more

We go to Bay Laurel for all of our gardening needs. The people who work there are very knowledgeable and friendly. Their prices are reasonable and if they don't have what you want they will order it for you. We bought citrus trees, rose bushes and soil amending products. I highly recommend Bay Laurel! read more

We love coming here. We love the selection of plants and fin yard art you guys have. But I do need to say something about the staff. The last few times we have been in, your staff has been very grumpy. We went to ask about potting soil for citrus plants and the lady who was watering basically asked us to to notice she was watering and to ask someone who wasn't watering. it honestly was so rude that all we could do was laugh. But this isn't an isolated incident, we have been by when others were rude and or grumpy with answers. We love this place, but it might be a good idea to check in with your staff to see if everyone is thriving or just surviving as employees. read more

I went to get some "dirt" i had no idea what I needed. The two young gentleman that greeted me were so nice and knowledgeable. They knew exactly what I needed and had a good verity of it. They were so helpful and nice. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Also not that bad of a price either. read more

Amazing prices. Expert advice. Quality customer service without being too intrusive. Being allowed to wander the isles before making decisions is enjoyable. read more

They have some really arrogant, condescending, and rude people working there. I keep trying to go there and support them because they are located right down the street from where I live, but I always end up disappointed by how I am treated. It makes me not want to come back. read more

I always appreciate the knowledge of the folks there at Bay Laurel and they're willingness to help you. I can go to Lowe's or Home Depot and be ignored for my entire trip. Sometimes I don't feel that's the case at Bay Laurel. read more

Good folks, amazing botanical data from staff; I go on weekdays when it isn't swamped with tons of people, so I can get amazing 1 on 1 advice for my large and small scale projects, submit drafts, get amazing advice from true professionals. I can't get this help at the Home Cheapo or anywhere else. Places like this are a dying art. And prices are competitive, generally cheaper, and it isn't some lazy corporation. We need to embrace local mom and pops in this gentrified economy where service is going to the wayside. This isn't McDonald's. This is gourmet. Good things take time. read more

This place was a amazing fine They are very helpful and informative When we wanted certain colors they took our name and number snd called us when they came in We will be back It's a little hidden but a treasure fine for yourself and take a look read more

Bay Laurel is the best! I almost don't want to write a review because I don't want them over run. They are awesome. We are committed to go whenever we have a bad day because we will leave smiling no matter what. Can't say enough good about Neal and Jeff especially. Fabulous!!! Trees, plants, herbs, garden, ornamentals, they have inventory and help extraordinaire! read more

I ordered six items which arrived, about a month after the order, on February 10th or so. I was so impressed with the bare Root trees and vines. They were much more mature than I expected; roughly 1"' give or take, trunk diameter. Ordered black seedless grape, golden russet apple two heritage red raspberry one goji berry and one Harko nectarine, total price $114.30, including shipping. Much love and care went into delivering me these items. Unreservedly recommended. read more

I bought a Cherry blossom tree here and I'm really Happy Neil helped pick out the tree. I made the mistake with buying an online tree from another nursery. Which I realized was dead so the cherry blossom tree I bought was like my tree redemption and I planted it in my front yard . It looks so great and I will be back to get more. Thank you so much for providing great knowledge and also great plants that are alive :). read more

Cute nursery tucked away off the freeway! I almost missed it! There were a few people working when I got there. A women helped me find the house plant section and that's when I spotted a philodendron brasil! She had a few different types of philodendrons available. They were all healthy and shooting out new growth! I'm so glad I was able to get one to bring back home to the OC! read more

This place is wonderful. They have a nice array of plants including California natives. We went there today and were kindly met by Joaquin, who not only helped us pick out plants but also showed us how to prune and care for them. He spent a lot of time with us, and we were grateful for all of his advice. The people who work there really know their plants! I highly recommend this nursery. read more

Great variety and quality of plants here, my favorite nursery in the paso/Atascadero area

I've been buying plants from Bay Laurel for over five years now. I have occasionally gotten a plant that didn't make it but nothing like what just happened a few weeks ago. Bought four tomato plants, all planted in raised beds with fresh mulch I bought as well, all get the same amount of sun and water. One is near death. Bought two thyme plants, both planted at the same time, same amount of sun and water, one is dead. Bought an oregano plant, dead. Bought four jalapeno plants, two are thriving, two are half the size. Took pictures and went back. All I got was excuses (too much water, not enough water, too much sun, not enough sun, my cat probably pissed on the thyme - oh and only that thyme not the one right next to it) and criticism of my gardening skills. NEVER GOING BACK AND RECOMMEND YOU DON'T EITHER!!! read more
