We go here every year This time there was a woman at…read moreentrance asking every details about entry (I came to pick something from the car for baby) and she wanted to know if I was with someone. We were carrying diaper bag with water and snacks for our baby and she asked if it was cooler and insisted on checking before entry. When we exited we did not pick cherries and decided and not buy a bag this time. She came running and asked if we got green stickers. Upon explaining her we are not buying them, she gave us a long look and wanted to look in our babys diaper bag again. We showed her and went back to car. Not a pleasant experience.

The mulberries are so good!…read more After reading a lot of their reviews, i was a bit worried about driving all the way there and not getting any mulberries so I texted their number to schedule a pick up. The berries are super fresh and sweet! I feel like it's the perfect summer fruit. The darker they are, the sweeter they are but i also really like the slight tartness that the just ripe ones have as well. I picked up 2 pounds on my first go but my family and I ate it all within 3 days so I had to go back to pick up 5 more pounds. I recommend texting or calling before you go to make sure they're open as they do sell out quickly. I didn't try the u-pick as I didn't have time but I would like to try next year!

The ladies in the front were super nice and inviting. I came with my mom & daughters - we had such…read morea great time. It's a clean and beautiful place. We were saying we'd like to come back again with the rest of our family since the kids enjoyed it! We were told the golf cart will do their rounds to drop and pick people up. However, since the cart wasn't there yet & we needed to use the restroom close by, we decided to just walk to the restroom. And we can see the front from there so we decided we would just walk back after. A car was coming so I told my daughter to move in so the car can pass. *HONK HONK* as if we were running. She rolls down the window and starts giving us a huge attitude about how we are not suppose to be walking around "Stay right there!" She was so completely rude I knew it had to be none other than the owner because everyone else we encountered were so kind! Literally a family with small children just walking didn't need to be honked at. We were already stopped when she approached so she could have just rolled her window down and spoke to us nicely. We didn't know there was a rule of no walking or we would have been more than happy to obligated. She should definitely have a staff member roaming the grounds instead of herself because she definitely cannot control her bad attitude and should not be out in the wild.

Went cherry picking here in early June…read more Very simple. You "check in", they give you a bag(s) and a grasper for high up ones if you're serious (we weren't that serious). You walk around picking the cherries you want. The trees are marked to indicate the different varietals. You put them in your bag, and you go back to the table to pay for what you picked. Great date idea. There are a couple photo spots designed for Instagram type photos. We didn't use those, just took regular pics. And the whole thing cost like $10 for both of us. That's less than 2 coffees and you get the cherries too. Make sure to check in advance as crops aren't always predictable.

It was our first time at Mariani and we had a great time picking cherry ..though, we went toward…read moreend of cherry picking season ( last weekend be 6/12/26)? , there was still plenty of nice ripe cherry to pick , small to large sizes , even some at toddler height level . No outside bags or buckets allowed, they will give u plastics bags ... wear good shoes cuz there were many fallen cherry on certain parts and dirts on the grounds. I would recommend shoes you don't mind getting dirty or stained. Parking was small but we still found parking at the entrance maybe cuz we went toward end of the season and later in the afternoon. If going on warm spring weather , bring a hat or umbrella., there were still plenty of shades under cherry trees as walk tree to tree or row to row . We got carried away and end up picking 6 lb +, cost added up fast . 6.50$ per pound for cherry and 3.50$ / lb for apricots . Both cherry and apricots were sweet ! Distanced only 20 mins from San Jose Central area , which is great location if you are in nearby town/city .

We drove by and found this U-pick cherry farm in Morgan Hill and decided to try it out…read more There were staff directing you where to park on the farm when you arrived at the entrance. When we were there, the staff advised us to head deeper into the farm since most of the cherries near the parking lot had already been picked. The price was $6.5 per lb, which is slightly pricy compared to the farms in Brendwood, but considering the location, if you live in South Bay, this is the ideal location for cherry picking. A couple of things to note that they do not provide ladders on site due to safety and liability concerns, and you cannot bring your own buckets/bags; they will provide the plastic bags for you at the farm.

Extremely disappointed in the cherry turn out for this year. Not necessarily the ranches fault, but…read morea number of factors--insufficient rain, blazing heat, and other environmental impacts that have not been kind to the farmers. However, I would think that coming on the first day would give me a better chance of cherry picking. Many trees were sparse and had little to no cherries for picking. :( I wondered if I just chose the wrong ranch to pick from. I came for bings and Rainer's and left with only Rainer's. The bings didn't look as red or ripe to eat. It's a fun summer activity, but I recommend all come early when ranches are open! $6.50/lb for self pick and $7.50/lb if you want them pre-picked. Bags are provided!

I have a home project I'm working on and the things that I needed were completely out of my ability level. I guess I got lucky when I went in midday on a Tuesday and was immediately greeted by two individuals at the front door, one being Carmen. Little did I know this would be the first minute of my almost 2 hour experience with Carmen walking me through the store explaining to me different things and how I should and how I could tackle my projects. Carmen even took it a step further and assisted with cutting some trim lumber for me to precise corners. Such a sweet individual, one that I will be looking for on my future trips to Home Depot. For the amount of things that I had in my cart, the value was very good and I think she helped me tackle all three of the projects that I was in to take care of. I can't say enough on how grateful I am, and I hope that this experience continues for many years to come. Thank you, Carmen.

Johnson Garden Center -- nobody does it better…read more Their replacement 10 gallon Photinia is an inspiration to my OG hedge row. Beautiful quality, incredibly healthy, already nearly taller than the established shrubs, and very reasonably priced at $129. They helped load it, answered questions, and made the whole process easy. All I have left to do is widen the hole I already dug. You can see a dip in the existing row from an earlier Photinia replacement several years ago from Costco. Love Costco but sometimes you don't want to wait. Thanks Chris!

The selection at Johnson's is vast. The problem is if you don't know what you're looking for or…read moreneed some advice, the employees seem to avoid offering customer service unless they already know you. I spoke with a friend about our experiences at Johnson's, and we both agreed, it feels like walking into an old western saloon where everyone knows "you ain't from around these parts!" I was looking to buy a magnolia, but wanted to know what the differences were, which is better for our environment, so I approached an employee who tried to avoid eye contact with me until he could do it no longer. He started stammering when I asked if he knew anything about the trees I had considered contenders. He fumbled with his walky-talky to try to find someone else to help me, but spotted (who I found out later was the manager) watering plants in the vicinity. He asked her if she could help and she replied rudely with "WHAT?" as she clearly saw me (the customer) asking a question. He stammered nervously and she followed up with "What do you want?" I jumped in and asked my questions about which is best and she said, "They're all pretty much the same." I asked if any were better for our climate/environment and she said with an attitude, "We don't sell anything that doesn't grow around here." She then curtly turned away and went on with watering the plants. I did not feel copacetic with her "customer service," so I bought my tree and decided not to go back. I would rather go to an establishment with less selection, but better service. Also, the prices are on the higher side for some things, but reasonable for others, it just depends on what it is. Either way, Home Depot works for me from now on, and if they don't have what I want, I'll research somewhere other than Johnson's. It's a shame, too, because the place is like walking through a botanical garden, only the vibe given by the staff is that "it ain't big enough for the both of us!"
