Updating for Madison Gardens, newly reopened version of Bob Williams. Still the best but better. Just coming in is a new experience, with pots moved to the back and beautiful plant arrangements up front. Inside, less stock but more space to stroll. The whole place felt. more open and I was able to find a plant I was looking for easily. Finally, same helpful staff that I'm used to. That was the best part. These folks are so knowledgeable and want to impart that knowledge. If you liked Bob Williams, you will love Madison Gardens. read more

Great nursery,first time and my wife and I were impressed. They have a greatly variety of plants,pots And a knowledgeable staff. A must!! read more

High loss for the community. . They had a wonderful selection of flowers, trees, cactus, etc.

We moved from Denver, CO and are coming up on our fourth summer here in the desert. We have had many fails when it comes to plants, bushes, flower, you name it. We are thrilled we decided to visit Madison Gardens today! We didn't have great expectations going to the former Bob Williams Nursery, as we knew there was a change in ownership, but we were searching for something specific they always carried. When we pulled up...wow! The grounds looked beautiful, organized and well stocked. Jennifer was right there to help us and was very forthcoming with information and pleasant to talk to. We learned so much and we were able to find what we wanted. Everything looked so healthy and we even got 20% off for their Memorial Day sale! I highly recommend this nursery! Thank you Madison Gardens! read more

We drove over an hour to Moon Valley Nursery only to be told they don't carry some items shown on their website. We used Google and decided to stop in Bob Williams Nursery and found exactly what we were wanting. BWN has GREAT nursery stock, reasonably priced, friendly/knowledgeable staff, nice pottery and much more. The parking lot is large and with so many customers it was hard to find a parking spot. I guess a full parking lot means a popular nursery so our hour drive wasn't a total waste. read more

All around great year round nursery. Staff is very helpful. Plant selections are reasonably priced.

The nursery itself is nice and I've spent hundreds here. But the worker "Cam/cameron" made me never want to go back, even though I want more plants! I'll just have to take my business elsewhere. After I bought from there, I was leaving and he chased down my car, I figured I had forgot something, so I spoke to him, but he was only trying to get my number and he said there's not many young people in the area and I felt really awkward and bad so I did give him my number and it has been nothing but bad news since. read more

Good Service, selection, (from annuals, to herbs, to perennials (sun and shade), to shrubs, roses, trees, cactuses, to potting soil and fertilizers) and value are excellent. Good customer service. I've never been disappointed in any purchase. read more

Really helpful, friendly and interested in my projects. Large variety of plants. I enjoy just walking through the large grounds. I try to buy local and support our locals. read more

Everything I purchased from Bob Williams is growing beautifully and healthy! He has an amazing assortment of plants and trees! We bought a California Honey Mandarin tree and it is thriving! A Blue Agave we purchased is also beautiful. It is definitely the place to go for all of your gardening needs. read more

We purchased a lot of plants and succulents from this nursery and they recommended an employee who does landscaping work on the side..his name is mark. when he originally came to our home with a crew, he was very reliable and efficient, however, one of the projects was to put in a fountain in our courtyard/ atrium.... this part of the project has been a huge disappointment! we purchased the fountain from the nursery and he originally installed it, but did not use the correct pump and it only worked for one day, I let him know about it and he said he would come out and fix it right away... This has been one month ago! My husband paid him and his staff in full including a $250 tip, which was in retrospect, a huge mistake, because obviously he must not be ethical, and once he is paid will not stand by his work or finish his project! super disappointing, as this was one of the parts of the project I was most excited about and it has put a huge damper on the entire project! I have left him messages, where he has not returned my text and promised to have someone out last week and now we are one week later with still no fountain... Hoping that others have a better experience at this nursery and certainly if you decide to use him for landscaping, you might want to not pay him until the job is fully completed!!!!! read more

I hadn't been there in a while. They have great clay pots. I was only a little disappointed that they were low on some cactus. They are very helpful and they will put the plants in the pot for you. There is a charge. Great place for plants. read more

Good news, Bob Williams Nursery, Inc. Is not closing. Today, on March 2nd, 2023, Teresa and Cam helped us redesign our front yard. They found what we needed, took us to an area that had our plants in pots. My wife picked out 8 Blue Elf Aloe plants. Teresa pushed the cart up to the customer service area and took care of us. We enjoyed the tour and all the new plants, pots, statues, artistic designs, waterfalls, and landscaping ideas. Thank you, Teresa and Cam, for taking care of all our needs. Best wishes, Michael and Susan Small read more

The best place for fountains. I purchased my fountain there and they installed it. I highly recommend letting them install it. It is not worth it to save a a hundred bucks and then have it not work right. I'm going on 2 years and I love it. I run it from 8 am to at lest 8 pm. The pump wants to run in order to perform. I love this place for plants and flowers. The selection is great! Oh P.S. get the largest motor so you can really hear the fountain. You will regret the smaller size, unless the fountain is super read more

Great plants and very knowledgeable and helpful staff. I'm not sure about value but we bought very nice healthy plants. I will return.

Always so knowledgeable and friendly. We really depend on them to give us the best advice.

I love this place and the workers. Great advice on plants. They are going to cae in June 2023.

Very helpful, knows their stuff, always pleasant to visit their grounds and bring home such beautiful specimens whether annuals or large trees. Top Notch nursery. read more

Outstanding customer service! Prompt delivery! Caring staf!!!! I purchased a gift card (that could only be mailed) from Moller's Garden Center. After 5 days and difficulty getting someone to return my call, I finally received a return call, only to be told mail could take up to 2 weeks!!! I called Bob's and they were wonderful to not only apologize for what had happened to me with Moller's, but set a gift certificate out (to my friend who had just lost her sister) the same day I called them!!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the effort that Bob's made to help me!!!! read more

Amazing selection . Mario was so helpful and he actually knew what moringa was and was very knowledgeable about the history . He helped me load my car too. read more

I have been shopping at BW nursery for over 10 years and have always had great service. But I was in a couple of weeks ago and purchased some cactus plants and after checking out the clerk asked if I would like plastic for my car and I said yes. She then tossed the plastic to me and left me to carry out several flats and the plastic myself, without any offer of help. It was not busy and she was not waiting on anyone else. I was surprised and disappointed. Felt as though as a customer, I had no value. Diane read more

I won't be going back. I can wear a mask due to health reasons but they acted like I had leprasey how do they know if I'm vaccinated?

Great nursery, good selection, comparable to Moellers with similar pricing. On the eastside of the valley.

Friendly staff who are always willing to help with all your needs. They have a wide variety of plants and planters too. I'll be back soon!

I have been shopping at BW's nursery for the past 10 years. They have a great selection and reasonable prices considering you're purchasing from a nursery. They also have great selection of fountains and pots. With all that said, I am super disappointed in their lack of tagging the type and price of plants and trees. However, my biggest issue is that they have very poor organization of their staff. No one seems to be assigned to certain task and it is an employee free for all. As a result, we requested 3 times to have someone lift a tree into our car and no one ever showed so we claimed the tree ourselves and loaded it in the car. In reality, we probably could have walked out with out paying and not soul would have known due to the disorganization. read more

We are new residents to the desert and know nothing about desert plants or gardening here. The woman who helped us was great. She took the time to explain the planting cycle here as well as showing us some good starting plants for our yard. She said if we had any problems to be sure and come back in for additional advice and help. We will definitely be back to see the next seasons selections. read more

This our favorite nursery. Great selection of plants and accessories, but the best part of shopping there is the great service from very knowledgeable people. My wife and I bought some pots there and when we got them home we decided they were too small. We didn't go back for a few days and of course we lost the receipt. Not only was the receipt unnecessary, they remembered us. We got two new pots and they were perfect. Always enjoy our experiences at Bob William's Nursery. read more

The heavy set older woman is very rude. Zero customer service skills. She will not honor price marked on plant. She tried to place blame on the laborers potting plants. Tried to purchase and she informed me I could buy plant for double the price..rudely confiscated plant. Lost a loyal twenty year customer that has spent thousand there over the years...including lean summer months ....supporting competitor Moller's in palm desert is the answer..they hire people with personality and appreciate loyal customers. read more

Just what I been looking for.the selection is incredible and the prices are fair. Best off all the employees are friendly and knowledgeable about the plants the sell.Daisy was helping me and she went out if her way to help me select plants for my backyard. I will be back for sure in fall when the palm trees arrive but most likely before since I seen a fountain and some artwork for the yard. Great place read more

Once again Bob Williams Nursery has proven to be the best one in this area. Yesterday I took an overgrown plant to them that needed re-potting, I thought, and they took it in hand. They did the re-potting for me, didn't charge me anything for doing it and were very helpful with suggestions for continued care of the plant. They are always to friendly and helpful it is well worth my drive from Palm Springs to their location. They also provide very helpful suggestions for all kinds of gardening issues. I love this place! read more

So glad we went to Bob Williams Nursery. We met Tina who was extremely helpful showing us around and we also met our gardener Jose. His company is JAG and he is well know by everyone at the nursery. We had Jose redo our courtyard taking out old ficus and creating a desert landscape that looks fantastic. I feel blessed we found the right people from the beginning. read more
