We saw their big sign across the freeway when we were visiting Cal Pacific Orchid Farm, so we…read moredecided to take a peek afterwards. This is located off of Piraeus Street that runs along the Northbound 5fwy. We entered Piraeus from Leucadia Boulevard. The commercial entrance came up first, then the regular customer entrance, thanks to their clear signs. It was mid-afternoon on a Thursday in January, so maybe that's why the nursery lot was kind of empty the further we went in. At the front area though, there were poinsettia trees still in bloom. I didn't even know that they can grow into trees (they don't last very long after the holidays in my care, lol), so I was actually fascinated to see them so big. They also had a fenced area with 2 small goats, possibly pygmy goats...so cute and friendly. Considering the cold weather, they had a good selection of healthy cacti, potted flowers and plants at reasonable prices (i.e., 4" pot of succulent $5.99, 6pk annuals/perennials $4.99). The bigger shrubs like hydrangea and hebe coed were more expensive ($26.99 and $28.99, respectively), but beautifully kept. We had no plans to garden any time soon so didn't plan on buying anything, but ended up getting some plant accessories, including a car-shaped ceramic planter that kiddo really liked, lol. Service was okay. We were the only ones there and took our time browsing, but no one asked if we needed help. The woman at the cash register wasn't rude, but not particularly friendly either.

Pretty annoyed I got a plant from here and walking back to my car it had aphids. I thought…read moremealybugs at first but the guy corrected me and said they live only 2 days. That's a lie. They reproduce quickly And the life span is a month. I have a greenhouse and 50 plants in my house. I asked for a refund and he said no and just sprayed the plant down with I'm assuming is neem oil. But now I have to separate this plant leave it outside, hose it down kill the bugs and constantly repeat it till they're all gone. To be honest, I just wanted my $43 stock and I can get this plant somewhere else.. I 100% will never recommend this place to anyone

I have completely fallen in love with this gem of a nursery in Encinitas. I have been searching for…read morerare plants all over North County and have found that this has the best selection and best value for rare houe plants. This whole rack of plants came from Cordova, and not a single one can be found at any other nursery for these affordable prices (think 25%-50% of the price you'd find online). I have found several White Princess and Pink Princess Philodendron that have made exquisite gifts for the holidays. The most amazing Philodendron I found was the Jose Bueno, its leaves are easily at least 18" and I snagged it for 1/3 the online price! I have also found Swiss Cheese Monstera, as well as Thai Constellation and Albo varieties. My other amazing find has been their String of Turtles and String of Hearts, which are very rare as compared to the more typical string of pearls. The owner shared with me that he's been in business for over 38 years! He is super knowledgeable and has a vast inventory (hence the competitive pricing). The plants are all super healthy, and I've not had a single pest interloper from their collection. I have never left this nursery without finding what I was looking for. So if you're looking for presents this season (prepare to wow all of your friends and family while not breaking the bank) or want to expand on your rare house plant collection, this is your spot. Go before I buy all their plants.

I have heard of Anderson so many times before so I was glad that I was able to coincidentally pass by and stop by and spend a great time looking at all they have to offer, which is a lot. I particularly like the section about poinsettia's. They have a lot of variety and they were all fresh and beautiful. The only thing I think it should be improved. Is there a gift shop? I would want to see bigger and more assorted. Other than that, easy to park. Easy to navigate. It's been a great time there.

The cashier on the cash register facing the inside of the building was very rude during check out. She didn't see the price tag on the pots I wanted to purchase and when I showed it to her she said $9.99, even though it clearly said $8.99. When I corrected her, she started giving me attitude. She didn't notice that my child had a watering pail she didn't scan during the first transaction. When we got to the car, I noticed the pail and went back in to pay for it. Got back in the line the same cashier and while I was waiting in the line she decided to help customer from the other line even though the other side had two open cashiers. I got to the register and realized I forgot my wallet so I went back to the car the grab it. Had to stand in already existing line of 3 customers formed inside the building, then she rung up customers from the other side again before helping me. Even though I had already waiting behind 3 people. It felt very discriminatory. We came here because we wanted to support local small business instead of a big box store. I was extremely disappointed by my experience here.

We've always loved the vibe and selection here, but working with Jason completely changed the game for us. It's one thing to have an amazing green thumb (which he absolutely does), but Jason has a rare, uniquely brilliant talent for exterior design. We came in with a few scattered ideas for our backyard, and he instantly mapped out a cohesive, stunning visual plan that we never could have dreamed up on our own. What we appreciated most was his sheer passion. He didn't just point us toward the right aisles; he genuinely cared about the long-term success of our project. Redoing a yard is a massive investment, but Jason's expertise and enthusiasm made us feel completely confident in the decisions and investments we were making. We are so incredibly grateful for Jason and how fantastic he has been to work with. He turned what could have been an overwhelming project into an absolute joy. If you are heading to Moon Valley Nurseries, do yourself a favor and ask for Jason... he is an absolute rockstar!

Cute concept and adorable bunnies- all the stars for the bunnies. But Samantha, who I believe is…read morethe manager, was incredibly rude, dismissive, and unnecessarily hostile. Instead of treating customers with even basic courtesy, she was annoyed that anyone was there. A simple question was met with a nasty attitude, and the interaction left us feeling completely unwelcome. I saw her speak to other customers in the same manner, so it wasn't just us. Unfortunately, the coffee wasn't any better. It was poorly made, tasted burnt and bitter, and wasn't worth finishing. For a coffee shop, that's the one thing that should be done well. There are plenty of other local cafés where you'll be treated with respect and get a much better cup of coffee. Only draw is the bunnies, who I really hope Samantha treats with more care and kindness than she does her customers; I honestly am concerned for their wellbeing after experiencing how Samantha treats people.
