Great nursery. They have a big selection of outside plant decor and smaller selection of indoor plants. They have larger sizes so pricing is a bit higher but it makes sense. The staff was super friendly and informative was able to ask questions to multiple people and they were all very knowledgeable read more

Entering the garden; I was greeted by a very kind gentleman. He walked me to the section of the garden I was looking for. I purchased a eucalyptus plant. The garden was filled with beautiful plants and flowers. I even saw a hummingbird. read more

Flora Grubb Gardens is an absolutely wonderful garden center. Upon arrival, we grabbed a couple of drinks from the coffee truck and were given a buzzer so we didn't have to wait around. While exploring, I found the perfect little snake plant--much needed redemption after my last one went off to the great garden center in the sky. When our buzzer went off, I found a cozy spot to sit. They have tons of little seating areas throughout, which makes it such a relaxing place to wander. After finishing our drinks, we went in search of a jasmine vine, and by the end we headed inside with our purchases. I have to say, the staff is lovely and very helpful. They gave us great tips on plant care and even provided paper and a box so our car wouldn't get dirty. I'm ecstatic knowing this place is just 10 minutes from us. Oh--and they have plenty of parking in their lot too. read more

If you're looking for large specimens, hard to find palms, agaves, then visit Flora Grubb Gardens. I first found out about this place when searching for nurseries that carry Ceroxylon palms. I called & asked if they have any in stock, & the employee said no, they haven't had them in a couple years. I also was told to email the buyer for any special requests. I appreciated that, because the plants I am looking for are always hard to find ! I visited this nursery for the first time & like other yelpers mention, it is easy to miss !!! Literally when exiting the freeway, it's immediately on the left. If you're not driving too fast you'll see it. Also the entrance is on mindinao way, which can be confusing for first time visitors. During my weekend trip it wasn't busy at all. There was plenty of parking & the nursery does appear small but once you wonder inside & get to looking, there's a lot !! I wouldn't say they are the cheapest, nope. If you're looking for the cheapest Bismarckia Nobilis palm, do not get one here. Just from looking at their inventory they are priced higher than most. I was impressed to see they have a large furcraea macdougallii specimen & a large brahea armata. Also other notable species I came across: Brahea Clara, Phyllostachys Nigra (black bamboo), agave celsii nova. I ended up purchasing a Caryota Obtusa which I'm so excited about. I felt like I paid a tad more than if I would of waited, but I saw the palm & wanted it immediately. When the employee loaded the palm in the car, I was surprised to see the pot wasn't covered (the top with plastic wrap) to help keep the car clean. Hopefully they see this as an opportunity for improvement. They also carry a small selection of indoor plants, & leca is also sold here. I wasn't impressed with their nutrient section at all. I would visit here, but only if I'm looking for something so specific that no where else has. read more

I drove out of my way to stop at my favorite nursery and wasn't disappointed. I wanted just a few plants and ended up spending 45 minutes looking at everything they grew. All the plants looked happy and healthy. The two guys that helped me answered all my questions and gave me advice about some plants I didn't even buy from them. If I were to ever work at a nursery, this would be the place for me. If you need a place to explore, spend a few hours here. read more

Dear Yelp Community, Visited for the first time during January. One of the most beautiful nurseries I have visited. Also, a mobile coffee shop (and multiple spots to sit throughout the nursery). Enjoy, and well wishes! Sincerely, Anna read more

Flora Grubb Gardens is just wonderful. It is not huge, it is the perfect size, especially for a home gardener. The selection is so great. It is easy to find things and the place is so pretty inside and out. The prices are fair and parking is right in the front of the store. The service is great. We were helped by the kindest man. We needed a lot of help picking flowers that would not die in a month, because of the season change, and items that were super healthy. He was just so nice. We could not have been happier and we will be back. read more

Great garden center in the middle of a highway on ramp intersection. I bet you've passed this place saying, I want to go in there one day. We'll make today the day! I always thought that this was such an odd placement for a garden center, but you want to go in. It's a lot bigger than it looks. The prices are reasonable, the staff is very knowledgeable and they have a great selection and some plants you don't find in other garden stores. I like to stop in here from time to time to see what's new and pick up a new plant friend. read more

Just bought this cool little bonsai at Flora Grubb. They have some interesting plants, like a golden jalapeño plant and a burgundy ficus that we are considering for our shady front porch. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly, and the garden center is attractive and well-organized. Deducted one star because the plants, overall, are kinda boring, drought-tolerant plants. I liked Marina Nursery's selection much better. We only stopped in to get small terracotta pots. Parking lot was quite empty; it used to be very crowded before the turnover. Also, our favorite landscaping manager is no longer there. When we went to buy the bonsai, employees seemed more interested in chatting amongst themselves and doing inventory than helping us purchase a $104 plant. We had been standing there for several minutes, and I finally had to ask if we could pay for the plant and leave. Just okay. Definitely not our favorite garden center. read more

Pretty wide array of plant options. Prices could be better, but all the plants are nicely trimmed & of good quality. The staff were all friendly & helpful. Cute outdoor layout that didn't feel like a complete maze. I was even told you could email their Buyer for custom plant requests. read more

Beautiful nursery with a stunning collection of plants and pots! I used to frequent Flora Grubbs in San Francisco, so when I found out they were opening an LA location during the same time as my move back to my hometown, I knew it was pure kismet. Like many loyal Flora Grubb fans, I purchased a few small business bonds to help crowdfund this LA location. The energy and people are clearly passionate about what they do, so I couldn't help but support! The gardens are beautiful with a decent selection of edible plants, California natives, ornamentals, and indoor plants. The selection is perfect for those working on a backyard project or for those simply looking for a gift. While I was at their grand opening, I purchased a 1 gallon Meyer lemon tree, 1 gallon fragrant pitcher sage, 6" Cedros Island verbena, and a bag of soil. Prices are affordable with comparable curations to boutique plant shops, but the prices of a small nursery. My only negative was the small selection of seeds. I would love it if they could supply more California native and cover crop seeds. Maybe a collab with the Theodore Payne Foundation is in order? Complimentary parking and car assistance are nice perks. read more

Incredible local plant collection with next level customer service and a wonderful shopping experience - Steve is the best - every time I have visited he is the first to offer help, his knowledge and advice is so valuable and makes the whole experience such a pleasure. He recommended two great indoor plants to me that have stood the test of time and his passion for what he does shines through, the people and expertise is why you come back over going to any regular chain store read more

Love the new management and updates to this local favorite nursery. I'm excited to attend one of their events. TBH I kind of want a part-time job here. It's just so beautiful. They also have a tiny little café coffee shop and a gorgeous garden space to enjoy your coffee. Don't sleep on that. read more

Wedged between the east and westbound lanes of CA-90 (Marina Freeway), Flora Grubb Gardens offers a wide variety of plants that appeal to the home gardner, including hard-to-find varieties. We've shopped here several times. The staff is ready to help and provide expert advice on plants, plant care, and landscaping. Prices are higher than at other garden centers. Access Flora Grubb from Mindanao Way. Parking is limited. read more

Thank you Flora Grubb for offering unique, beautiful, thoughtfully curated native plants that actually belong in our southern California gardens. I am often tempted in other nurseries to buy what looks good vs. what my not-so-green thumb might be able to nurture. Also thank you to Derek who showed up at just the right time (you know when you don't think you need a cart...) and helped me along with tips and advice for the many items I took home with me. Amazing customer service. You know you're in the right place when one of the plants you've chosen has a mushroom hitch hiker! (photo included) read more

I absolutely love this garden center. I have driven by so many times and was put off by its location (squashed between the two sides of the 90 freeway). But I was persuaded to visit last week to purchase a Christmas tree by my daughters. Fantastic staff - so helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. Really good selection of healthy looking plants and shrubs. We ended up buying a succulent for my garden and a house plant, as well as some wreaths and the tree. The tree is gorgeous, by the way. A really healthy beautiful specimen. I will definitely be back. read more

This place is a total rip off. Over charging on so many items. $15 for a small air plant when they should be $5. Marina Garden Center was more reasonably priced before these guys took over. There are plenty of other places out there that have great selections and better prices. read more

I hadn't been here for years but came by to look for a tree and some drought tolerant plants for my front yard. The store has been remodeled and the new look is much cleaner and less cluttered and is well designed and laid out. I was very pleased to meet Annelise, who brings an artist's sensibility to her work in caring for and recommending plants and flowers and trees. She helped me find the perfect tree for my California cottage yard makeover and also some of the most colorful and fragrant lavenders around. Also, my kids love Patches the cat. I will definitely be back. read more

The last couple of times I have been here (since they re-branded) the selection of succulents has been dismal.

I was in Flora Frubb a few times and I highly recommended of this shop. They have bunch of option and sizes for each plant, also they have a lot of planters of strong material and colors. They can helped you to load the plant to the car. read more

GORGEOUS selection, meticulously maintained, unique offerings. LOVE this garden oasis. Some items are quite pricey and they do not offer organic vegetable and herb plants, but it's a special spot worth visiting and shopping. read more

This is a beautiful nursery! Great staff, interesting plants, it's great! Highly recommend for plant parents.

The new owners have done a great job with remodeling the main building. Beautiful sliding wood doors and more space for parking. But the improvements are only visual. I miss the super-knowledgeable staff when this was the marina garden center. There are no native plants anymore (which is odd in this severe climate change era), and no organic herbs (the selection of herbs in general is abysmal and weirdly over-priced compared to what the previous owners kept in stock). While I love the space, the plant selection is pretty generic. It's as if one of those "farm house" developers abducted Marina Garden Center and flipped the store into an aggressively dull nursery. Maybe it appeals to the Playa vista tech bros, but for the most part, it's disappointing for longtime gardeners. read more

I've been shopping at this awesome location for years, that said, I feel that customer service has slipped. In the last four times I've came to shop NO ONE asked me if I needed assistance, no one smiles, not a single team member seems to even care if I had a good experience! Additionally, the front are has been under renovation for months, all the native plants were removed and now it's a giant empty field of dirt. It's quite the eye sore! I hope customer service will be improved because I sue don't feel welcomed anymore. read more

So sad this company took over a formerly amazing nursery. It's like they took away half the inventory and doubled the prices on what was left. $150 for a 10" fiberglass pot is highway robbery. read more

Beautiful garden selections, always helpful staff and absolutely love Patches, the garden's resident cat!

Great protea and other drought tolerant plant selection, complemented by a friendly staff and neat arrangements.

I am a hardcore, obsessive gardener that is always seeking out the best garden nurseries and I have finally found it. This place is incredible. There is a lovely selection of pots in pastel shades that I have never seen before. Pale shades of lavender, light yellow and peach. The plant selections are plentiful with excellent varieties in every size. So if you have a tight spot and need to start out small, you can find it here. I will be back as soon as I can with my SUV! read more

We were customers when it was Marina Del Rey Garden Center. We love the newly renovated store and nursery! It's spacious inside and the staff are welcoming. Flora Grubb Gardens are highly recommended for quality plants, excellent customer and delivery services! We purchased few palms and they delivered them within a day as scheduled. The delivery reps swept the fallen dirt off our driveway before departing. They were accommodating and friendly although the three palms were large and heavy. Analise (nursery staff) was very knowledgeable and helpful at the store--she showed me several large sago palms and triple-Pygmy Date palm and texted an image too. The prices are higher than Home Depot, but the quality and services are worth it. read more

This place is amazing with great service wonderful selection of pots and plants with great prices. I drive 60 miles to come here.
