    Been wanting to check out this nursery for some time now and finally had a chance to. Super cute with all the different sized pants . I was looking for a small lavender plant and easily found a bunch thankfully cause of how organized and clearly labeled they were with price and names. I'm in no way a green thumb when it comes to plants. Met the owner David whom didn't make me feel idiotic when asking him how to care for the pants. He taught me how to prune the plants and explained in layman's terms when and how to water them to keep them happy and thriving.

    This is the best Nursey in Somis! They have a great selection of everything and if they don't have what you need they can get it. David the owner is always so helpful with plant ideas for my projects and has a lot of experience and tips from planting. It's been awesome to watch their nursery grow over the years and I will continue to support them and refer everyone I know!

    I like this nursery. Easy to park and helpful people. There are a lot of California natives. And organized well. They have things that a lot of other nurseries don't have. A lot of plants that attract beneficial insects and birds. Good prices and set up like a 't'. I think this spot is worth it. Try it.

    There are quite a few different nurseries in Somis. This one is very prominently located next to the corner of Highway 34 and Highway 118. I was looking for a particular type of plant that is actually fairly common, but had to go in and out of several other nurseries until I found exactly what I was looking for right here. I found the staff to be very friendly and courteous, the prices to be reasonable, and the place to be very well organized. Next time I will just be going here first.

    Ficus trees are great for privacy

    I love this place, I'm a recurring customer. I always get my ficus trees & flowers here, they look amazing. I always send my family and friends to Escape Gardens.

    Let me first start by saying that we've been to this location a few times previously, it was 8/9…read moremonths ago however & since then the store has gone through new ownership and I feel like gone straight downhill... so I do agree with all the (positive) older reviews... PRIOR TO THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP HOWEVER!... That being said- I guess this place actually closes at 4pm (not 5pm) .... & they're NOT actually open on Sundays. Only one person working EVER and he doesn't seem to really care about helping anyone, he's just eager to go home.thinking that we have an hour and 30 minutes left before closing for the day. we arrived at the store @ 3:30 only to be told at 3:45 that they were closing shortly... when I asked if he minded elaborating on that... he said "yeah I'm closing in five minutes"... so moral of the story here is I dunno what to say as far as there store hours because they make up everything on a whim... There are few names of plants on ANYTHING. My biggest problem however is that there are also NO prices on ANYTHING ... he explained, he makes up the prices as he goes, because he says "i have all of them memorized"..... ok?... but then why was my wife was given for a price for a specific Palm that she liked, then when I caught back up with the two of them and happen to inquire about the same species of Palm (same size) why did I get a different number then... while looking at the availability of their "unbroken" fountains they still had left since everything seemed to be chipped or cracked on parts... he tried telling me a price for one that actually DID happen to have the amount on the inside of the bowl it said $70... he told me it was 140.... his only response..... "oh!... I guess that's it then"...... needless to say that's when we just turned & just walked away... didn't feel there was anything left to add at that point anymore... he'd said enough.... I do not recommend this place one but .... there are five other nurseries literally on all sides of this place.... I would recommend ANY other one.... Save yourself from the Overpriced, broken inventory and lazy incompetent staff!....

    There seemed to be only one person working on this large nursery, but he was helpful. I would…read morereturn more landscaping supplies.

    This place and the service is amazing! I visited The Standard Design Group while looking for olive…read moretrees. I was impressed by the size of this nursery, the variety of trees, sizes available for purchase, health of the plants and soil they come in, and of course, Maribel, who has been so helpful and patient while I design my landscape. Maribel helped us choose trees that were within our budget, showed us how to trim them, and helped us with design ideas for our space. When I told her I needed fragrant trees, with small (non invasive root systems), that only grew a certain size, she quickly texted me a variety of choices, then drove us around her nursery showing us all the trees. She's incredibly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and is available always to answer our questions. She makes every member of my family feel special (especially my niece/nephew that have visited the nursery with me). When I show her pictures of what I'm looking to accomplish she can quickly tell me the names and characteristics of the plants I like. She's just amazing!!! I highly recommend Maribel and I can't wait to come back and visit when I'm redoing the landscape in a different property.

    I would not recommend Standard Group to anyone. This is, without question, the worst landscaping…read morecompany I have ever dealt with. We were charged approximately $35,000 to landscape our front and backyard, and we were promised high-quality materials, including large 50-gallon plants and flowers. Instead, they installed the smallest five-gallon plants they could find. The grass was also the cheapest quality, was poorly leveled, and started dying almost immediately. We wanted privacy trees installed along one side of our brick wall. Standard Group recommended ficus trees and planted them only three feet from our pool because that was the only space available. We later learned that ficus trees should be planted at least 10 feet away from a pool structure. Because of their poor recommendation and installation, we had to hire another landscaping company to remove and replant all of the trees, costing us thousands more. We also asked for flowers and plants in a large area, but instead, Standard Group simply covered it with approximately two inches of wood chips. The wood chips covered our sprinkler heads and drainage areas, and their work resulted in broken pipes. We were charged $4k for landscape lighting, only to discover later that they used the cheapest lights available and charged us far more than the installation was worth. We also paid $800 for a Meyer lemon tree that we never received. After repeatedly contacting the owner Dave and expressing my frustration, I finally received a tree months later - but it was a standard lemon tree, not the Meyer lemon tree we paid for. This entire experience was an absolute nightmare and felt like a complete rip-off. Standard Group charged us thousands of dollars while cutting corners everywhere, using the smallest plants and cheapest materials possible, and failing to deliver what was promised. Before hiring this company, read the one-star reviews carefully. Many customers describe similar experiences. Based on what happened to us, be extremely cautious and do not use Standard Group. In my experience, this company is unprofessional, significantly overcharges customers, and does not deliver the quality or materials it promises.
