Every time I go to the store, the staff are super helpful! They always have a good selection at a good price, and I love to support local businesses. I usually buy soil for my plants, but this last visit I needed some wood chips for my orchid, and when I asked if the bag that I saw came in a smaller size, they had a little bit left in a bag and they gave it to me!! I only needed like a handful for my single orchid and that just made my day! I then needed some soil for my indoor succulents and they were helpful helping me pick something out. I didn't get her name, but I always get this level of service every time in there! read more

Awesome plants! I never leave reviews but there is a women who works there, middle age darker hair always up in a bun, white, talks to everyone, I over hear the convos she seems nice! but is very odd to me and my partner. We live a block away and walk over time to time, always the same energy from her. Not many Mexicans like us in PB so I can't help but to feel that plays a part? I hope not, Either way, never friendly, she was working the cashier tonight talked to the older couple in front of us, it was my turn next I smiled, she quickly walked away and another girl filled in and she just stood to the side and watched me. Felt like I was being judged. That mean girl energy. Very strange. My boyfriend surprised me with a plant a few weeks ago and told me the girl was rude to him too. Bummer since the plants and the store are beautiful! read more

We were spending time at Mission/Pacific Beach and when we were finished, we needed to pickup a present for a relative. We looked into Yelp's crystal ball and decided to check out Green Gardens Nursery. We found quite easily. It was a busy weekday all around. We parked across the street and crossed the road. Upon entering, we were greeted by a young gentleman watering plants. Several people restocking, moving plants, helping others. We were left unattended while we checked out all their beautiful plants. This is a smaller nursery, but it has a little of everything! You'll be able to find something here. They have beautiful plants, trees, succulents, hanging baskets, statues, candles, planting soils, and much more!! We will be back to check more items out.... read more

Very pleased with work by Paul and team's landscaping work on our property. They redesigned our flower beds, removed tenacious bamboo roots, and planted some lovely selections while fixing our irrigation and lighting issues. The team was considerate, timely, and tidy, and they charged a reasonable price for the two or more days of work. We will use Green Gardens again. read more

The Bad Advice and Not Our Problem Nursery. Green Gardens, what should I plant on my -pretty-much-full-shade-entry-way? Was sold 3 chartreuse cypress (aka, Lemon Cypress). Lovely little things. 4 months later, 2 out of 3 are dead. The building gardener, the neighborhood green thumb and landscapeplants.oregonstate.edu all agree. These trees prefer full sun. Ahem, Green Gardens. Went back to see what could be done. Was told, (Thank you Luke! Thank you Chrissy!), shade wasn't the problem. No help offered, no replacements, no nothing. Usually, I write positive reviews. (There's enough negativity these days.) But in this case? It's the mistake after the mistake guys. Maybe work on that. read more

Don't use Green Gardens for landscape Design!! Green Gardens required that in order to have Paul (their landscape design consultant) come out to meet with me at my house and draw up landscaping plans would cost me $100 in a gift card that was not refundable. After many unreturned phone calls, and a missed appointments he finally came out to my home. We discussed the landscaping design and I was told he would email the proposal the same afternoon. That was a week ago and he hasn't returned my email or phone calls. I'm stuck with a $100 gift card for a company I no longer plan to do business with. read more

Such a cute nursery with a ton of selection of both indoor and outdoor plants! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I came in asking for advice on what plant would be best for my indoor plant holders and Kelsey helped me out immediately and gave me some great suggestions. I ended up getting a snake plant and she even offered to pot it for me in my plant holder right in the store for no cost! She did such a beautiful job, way better than I ever would have. Great experience all around! read more

I can't recommend this nursery enough!

Love Green Gardens! read more

I'm so happy that this store is close to my place! I purchased the money trees and one more climbing plant, maybe not the chipset place but absolutely professional and super nice people Just matter of time when I'll be there again to do my second purchase! read more

When my front entry way sustained significant damage from several months of rain, I needed to have it fixed. I met with Paul Backus, owner of Green Gardens, on 4910 Cass St, Pacific Beach, Ca 92109. He came to my home and proceeded to make a plan for a new garden/entry way. He assigned a very professional crew that were always on time, worked efficiently, and always cleaned up at the end of each day. Paul was here each day at the start of the work, making sure everything was in order and came back each day to check on the progress. I would not hesitate to use Green Gardens again. A first rate highly professional business. William Renert read more

Chrissy is such an incredibly helpful person oh my goodness! I am making my mother a succulent wreath for Christmas and I had no clue what I was doing and she honestly took me under her wing to show me exactly how to do it. She helped me pick out which ones went well together and really went above and beyond. It felt so wholesome and so welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

When I was in need of a special gift, the two ladies at Green Gardens were there to assist me. They went out of their way to help, even calling in an off-duty employee whose assistance was invaluable. He helped load my purchase due to its weight, and I am truly grateful for his help. I live 45 minutes away, but this is my new nursing home. read more

My brother got me a gift card here for my birthday and I had a splendid time walking around the nursery. The plants are beautiful and it smells amazing. It was hard to pick out what I wanted because the nursery is stocked with just about everything. The employees were super helpful and explained how to care for the plants I bought. They also have quite a large selection of pots that are beautiful and reasonably priced. I highly recommended visiting even just to walk around and feel the sun on your face, hear the insects buzz, and see some very happy plants. read more

I took two of my gfs here when we had down time, and it was a nice, small nursery that is tucked into the neighborhood. There were tons of choices for outdoor veggies, plants, shrubs, and trees. I would want more choices of indoor plants, but that's because I collect. Nice staff, and gorgeous layouts inside the little cottage area: beach house lifestyle decor and pretty items. It smelled wonderful, with all the candles. read more

MY NEW FAVORITE!!! My friend told me about this place. I'm now a lifer. They have everything. From indoor to outdoor plants. Flowers. Herbs. Planters. Pots. Such a nice selection and the customer service is amazing. Luke, Skyler, Kelci and Kieya are awesome. Bought a great basil plant and a cute little pot for it (and some plant food). I'll be back!!! read more

Chrissy is amazing - heard what we had in mind and then brought the vision to life with her creativity and professional experience. She jumped right in and made it happen. This is the second home she has helped us with and we have been super happy both times. Thanks, Chrissy, we LOVE the results and Green Gardens! read more

Paul has the best selection and he is an expert in his field. My wife and I try to buy all of our plants there and we get some great ideas.

I can't believe I've never been here! I've been to literally every nursery in SD but just discovered this gem! First of all it's super cute and for being on the smaller side, they have a fantastic selection of both indoor and outdoor plants. They also have a fantastic home decor section on one side. Really quality, unique items. The plants are also really well priced! Some places charge insane amounts for more "rare" or highly desired indoor plants but I found 3 rare indoor plants for 9.99-13.99 which would be at least $24.99 anywhere else! Score. I'll be back way more now that I know where it is. read more

Have been going there for years, and it has always had great quality products and exceptional service! Chrissy is to container gardening what Van Gogh is to a canvas. She is so knowledgeable and so talented. The staff is friendly and actually seems to want to help customers (rare these days!), and their selection is fantastic. read more

Green Gardens Nursery - Chrissy's latest creation for an antique planter on our side deck. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - San Diego, California

What a great little nursery! Since I have gotten into gardening over COVID, I have been visiting different nurseries to find different plants and just to explore. This nursery will be on the top of my list. They have a great variety of indoor and outdoor plants including vegetables. The displays were well organized and labelled. The staff was very helpful not only in recommending plants but also how to care and propagate them. The prices are reasonable. Somewhere between Armstrong, Walter Anderson and Home Depot. But the helpfulness and service I received was well worth the time. Also the plants are good quality. I need to go back. read more

They have the best prices in town! I am a plant fanatic and travel all over San Diego to go to different nurseries, but I had never been to this one until yesterday, and I kicking myself for not going sooner! This small local nursery has such a big selection of plants, and a lot of rare plants too! I was shocked to find a Hoya australis Lisa for $19.99!!! And they had multiple there to choose from. They also had Hoya obovata for $25, Hoya carnosa pink princess, crinkle and kerii for the best prices in town!!!! I also swooped up this philodendron birkin 6" for $35, I have been seeing them elsewhere in a 4" pot for similar prices! Run to this nursery and help support this amazing local business! read more

I went in to look for a string of pearls and of course I left with several plants. They all looked so healthy and wonderful! And they even gave me a baby spider plant to propagate when I get home! I highly recommend and I will be back every time I'm in San Diego. My poor husband had to drag me out before I bought more haha read more

My house looks like a Safari because of this place. 20 years ago, I would get off the school bus and walk home from school. I loved walking by and seeing all the plants. Eventually my family would make a habit of walking down to see the nursery before we would grab a bite in town. It became a part of our tradition. A week ago I surprised my mom and we finally went inside together for the first time. She was over joyed. We bought so many plants. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable of inside house plants. So far all of the advice I was given my plants are doing great. Can't wait to come back for more. read more

A cute plant nursery with a nice succulent section. I enjoyed going through the home decor area and I purchased a pot from there that is my absolute favorite! I also purchased two split rocks with the pot back in May, and the plants are doing well (progress pictures included are from May to September). Will definitely be back for the interesting cacti and lithops! read more
