often has a grea collection of unusual plants. kevin is quite knowledgeable about plants and gardens.

What an amazing garden store. Excellent selection of plants and reasonable prices. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this nice, local small business. read more

Yes, the selection looks great here. I bought two showy milkweeds specifically to feed monarch caterpillars and asked this nursery if they treat with BT (considered an organic treatment that will kill caterpillars). They confirmed they didn't treat with BT and even had monarchs within a screened area on-site that were maturing. Literally the moment I fed a leaf of their milkweed to my 4 hungry growing monarch caterpillars, they all stopped eating and started being sluggish. The biggest caterpillar wouldn't eat through a leaf even though it was previously eating leaves from my yard down to the stem and left a weird brown residue on the leaf surface from this nursery's plant. Then it's next poop was red. All very odd and sad things to see since they were all so active and had huge appetites when I fed them the same species of showy milkweed from my yard. They've since all died, within ~3-4 days of feeding them milkweed from here. I don't know what they treated their milkweed with if not BT, but everything I've read online indicates these were classic signs of the guts breaking within the caterpillars from BT and killing them from the inside. So disappointed that I fed their plant to our monarchs. The one was probably a day away from chrysalis and was really big until it stopped eating. read more

Really nice nursery packed with plenty of lush plants. It's like an urban jungle in there. A nice green surprise tucked away. A very large and diverse collection. I was looking for a hard to find plant, a Mexican Shell flower (tigridia). The owner, Kevin, was very nice when I asked about them and he actually had quite a few. I thought the price was very reasonable too, $12 for a large one that had had at least 3 blooms this season. I bought one at Berkeley Horticulture a few years ago and it was $9 for one 25% the size of this one. I highly recommend this nursery. read more

Green Jeans Garden Supply - Monstera Adansonii and Satin Pothos - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Mill Valley, California

It's tomato growing season... so that that means it's time to pay a visit to Green Jeans Garden Supply. Normally, you wouldn't expect to find a garden oasis located off the 101 (between a 7-Eleven and In N Out Burger). But this special place really exists. Kevin and his entire team will help you find the perfect plants for your home (whether it be an orchid or fruit tree). Just walking through their outdoor store and browsing their green selection is a zen thing. You almost forget about the freeway sounds behind you. It's like walking around Mr. Miyagi's garden. I wound up purchasing 4 different tomato plants. Last year's crop wound up being a huge winner. Hoping to replicate my success this summer. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Stay tuned... read more

I came in because my friends said they have great selection of veggies! I came I looking for the veggies. Then I wandered looking at soil and fertilizer. I spent a good 20 mins there and no one helped me. What I did notice that every white person who walked in was Immediately asked if they needed help. That's when I decide to leave. i Guess i am not the right kind of customer. It's ok. My business goes elsewhere. And I'll let my friends know also. Sorry you choice your customer service to be random. read more

I stopped by (and honestly I wish I had done so sooner!) to see if they had some house plants and boy was I in for a delight!! Not only did they have a great selection of super well priced succulents, they have a beautiful selection of house plants that blew me away. I had to stop myself from buying one of everything. Prices are and I will most definitely be back! I made small talk with an associate and the owner and they were the icing on the cake, thanks guys! Can't wait to bring my friends! read more

Green Jeans Garden Supply - Hoya! Peperomia! Cutest babe succulents! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Mill Valley, California

This is my favorite plant nursery anywhere in the Bay. Great selection, nice people. Worth the drive.

Kevin and his team are the most knowledgeable in the Bay Area! They have great variety of plants and vegetables. More knowledgeable and affordable than Sloat. read more

This is a cute little nursery! I've been here a few times, mainly to just look around at plants as they have only so much space for gardening supplies that I can find elsewhere. Being locally owned the prices are slightly pricey.. However, they do have a trendy selection of house plants which keeps me coming back! You have to really look around and see what may be hidden under a display table, I bought this Monstera Adansonii for $35! Definitely priced fairly compared to online websites. Give it a try if your bored and looking for something unique to add your home! read more

Green Jeans Garden Supply - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Mill Valley, California

One of the best places in the Bay Area for gardeners. This place has it all from information to amendments. I have been coming here for decades and love it. read more

I've called them twice with questions and both times I've had knowledgable staff answer the phone, given me there time and expertise without any hint of being disturbed. I went in today and purchased many plants, soil and fertilizer. Everyone who helped me was knowledgeable and friendly. Why anyone would choose to patronize a big box nursery is beyond me. read more

We were looking for one cherry tomato plant. The kind staff person took care and time to help my husband find the best one. This nursery is far and above the best service we've experienced lately. read more

I love this place! Such a gem. I drive past it for years and had no clue how extensive their inventory was. Plus really great prices and pots. read more

See all

Mr Green Jeans Should Be Mean Jeans. I was thinking this could be "bad karma" and my friend insisted we go there a number of times. Having owned my own business, I really realize the Yelp Review can be a very Negative and bad karma kinda' thing; However, I feel they should know--the young lady that works behind the register there is more concerned about "her own delightful world" than helping customers. I have not found any answers to my garden questions. I don't see any interest in helping customers. I went back multiple times and the same story--she does not seem to care about customer service. At times even a bit rude I would say...... The prices seem inflated. Not such a good selection. Just not a fan. Sad. It is such a good location and I love to support local businesses. I go to Goodman's or Tam Junction. Sad this should be a bay area treasure as people report. I think Annie's in Pt Richmond is the best treasure. This needs to step up here in Mill Valley! read more

Green Jeans is truly a Bay Area treasure! It's a tranquil refuge easily accessible off 101 North. The staff is well-versed in the particularities and challenges of gardening in Marin County. Just because a plant looks splendid on the Peninsula doesn't mean it will thrive in Marin. But the Green Jeans staff gets our Bay Area microclimates and localized growing conditions. They've never steered me wrong when selecting new plants specific to my property. Who knew blueberries love our Marin climate?? Whether you are a beginner gardener looking for no-fail plants or a seasoned gardener seeking showpiece specimens to impress visitors, Greenjeans will give you the hook up. read more

This review is long overdue. Green Jeans has been my neighborhood nursery/garden supply stop for the last few years. I also like Sloat in Kentfield as well. They have warm and knowledgeable staff (OK, Green Jeans people may be warmer). Very good variety of heirloom tomatoes. For container veggie gardeners, GJ offers dolomite by the pound! No need to buy a 50-pound bag from big box stores. Conveniently located off of Highway 101 in Mill Valley, close to Strawberry Shopping Center. read more

Accused of stealing plants!!! I had two employees help me. One helped me with what I was looking for and another employee rang me up and helped carry the plants to my car. When I was loading the plants into the car, the young woman who worked there came over and said "You need to pay for these!" Funny as when I was looking for help, she ignored me. Her co worker was standing right there, who she ignored. No apology. I don't question her attempt at ensuring the plants were paid for, but could have been handled much better. Asking her co-worker if they had been rung up, or even better volunteering to help ring them up. Instead of assuming I was loading unpaid merchandise into my car. Plants are lovely and healthy, unfortunately turned into negative experience. read more

What to plant? When & how? These are gardening questions I often ask & Green Jeans has all of the answers as well as supplies. You've driven by this place a million times on 101. They've got a gigantic praying mantis on their rooftop & other cool art bugs scattered about. What I really love is that they're open 7 days a week. That's hard to find in Marin. I also love that I can just walk through their grounds/garden for inspiration when I know I need to garden, but just don't know what I want to dirty my hands. I'm a fan of Sloats, too, for their neverending pottery selection, but Green Jeans has carniverous plants & other great items that you just can't get anywhere. The resident kitty is also a nice touch. Everyone loves a mascot. read more

This is what a local business is all about: + Superior Products + Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff + Great Selection We stopped in the other day in search of an established dwarf citrus tree for our patio. After browsing for a few minutes we ran into a gentleman named Kevin who proved to have a wealth of knowledge. On top of that he was damn friendly. We were shown multiple varieties of trees and he answered all of our questions. The best part? There was no pressure for the sale to be completed. Half an hour later we walked out with a gorgeous meyer lemon tree, a few herbs, a couple of cacti and some fertilizer. Our plants are healthy and strong and I will be following up with them for my other plant needs. Bottom line: You get what you pay for. TOP QUALITY and A+ service. read more

Friendly staff. Nice selection of plants. Esp nice selection of "funky", out-of-the-norm plants Locally owned. Organically focused. read more

Really fantastic nursery located right near the Strawberry shopping center which means easy on / easy off the freeway - however that also means its very loud from freeway noise when you are there so it's a bit hard to hear yourself think. Top quality plants, I'd say far superior to Sloat. Helpful staff. Michael in particular really helped me. I saw someone at the cash register help a Little Olde Lady out her car with grace and kindness and that's a big plus in my book. Parking is a breeze on the street. This is a destination nursery for sure. read more

This is the BEST nursery in all of Main in my honest opinion. Extremely knowledgeable staff, Organic focus, lovely greenhouse, as well as a nice compost! Great and eco-friendly read more

Truth be told, I was a plant assassin in my previous life, deftly delivering fatal blows to all in the plant kingdom who dare enter my sphere. No more! First, Green Jeans carries the happiest, healthiest organic varietals around. Terrific selection, and their friendly staff is super helpful & patient in giving advice as to what will thrive and where, depending on where you live and where you'll be planting (ground, pots, etc.) I've purchased fig trees, myriad herbs, grasses, fragrant roses and mission olives --- a different staff member has helped me on each visit, and all were equally fantastic and helpful. The owners are often around, and their deep care & attention shows through in their staff and business --- it's a beautiful place to wander a bit... read more

Great selection, knowledgeable and personal service, healthy plants that are very well cared for. Highly recommend Green Jeans.

So knowledgeable, friendly and offer good suggestions. My fav place to go for plants and all things garden.

When we came in with our long list of plants we wanted we had the best experience we have ever had in a plant nursery, thanks to Jessica. She is extremely knowledgeable, was familiar with all of the plants we wanted, and had all but 1 of the 12 kinds we wanted, unlike any other nursery in Marin. Plus she found them quickly, made helpful suggestions about them, added up the prices, and personally gathered them together for us. Their organic, mostly native mix of plants increase the chances they will thrive in our Sausalito garden. With the help of a co-worker, they helped us carefully put them in our SUV. From past visits and others' (more adept gardeners than we are) recommendations we know the quality of the plants is high. To top it off, the whole setting at Green Jeans Garden Supply is lovely. The four other sets of customers were all return customers too, it turned out, from our brief conversations with them. And it feels good to support a locally owned nursery. I am confounded to read the review by "Elisa" as it is the totally opposite experience from what we had. read more

So, helpful. I emailed a question to them on a Sunday and was answered immediately. After going to the store on Monday morning, I was all set for my project. Excellent service and pretty good selection too. I'll keep going here. read more

This is a great spot to find unusal plants. They try to carry different materials than the "big box" stores. If you can not find what you are looking for they will recommend something or try to order it in. Friendly staff too. read more

I have a black thumb, but decided to try some house plants. Staff was extremely helpful and patient while answering all my questions about the basics of caring for plants. He did not make me feel stupid, which I really appreciate. The staff was happy, friendly, and seemed to really like their job and want to share their knowledge. I would definitely go back here because of their amazing customer service. It's not exactly where our TomTom device said it would be. There's no parking lot, but you can just park on the street right in front. You can also park in the Strawberry Shopping Center, but it's a short walk, which may not be fun if you are carrying a large/heavy plant. We didn't shop around, so I don't know how the prices compare. read more

I went treking all over marin garden stores to find some amendments to use on my tomatoes and the only people who even knew what I was talking about were the people at Green Jeans. They also had some of the stuff in bulk so I only had to buy what I needed. Most of this stuff was the latests and greatest in organic farming. After that, I decided to go to them first when I need something from a store. The transplants I've purchased from green jeans have always done very well. read more

You guys have been established for quite some time! Please put up a website that outlines what you offer?!! I think I have read "website coming soon" for years now!!! It would be beneficial to your business especially for those who don't live in Marin County but would be willing to visit you if you had a catalog of plants, ferns, flowers, etc! read more

A fantastic gardening store. The owner is lovely and very knowledgeable. Don't let the location alongside 101 prevent you from discovering this great local gem. read more

Was up from LA for a Board meeting and always visit new nurseries during my travels. Omg. Top notch incredibly varied plant selection, everything well cared for. read more

The two employees I spoke with were rude about my questions. Perhaps they are more used to professional gardeners than people starting out. I might have overlooked the rudeness if they hadn't screwed up by miscounting my plants and overcharging me as well as selling me a sprayer for insecticidal soap that is incompatible with soap solutions. Given that I was buying insecticidal soap at that time and that I asked for a sprayer that would work with the soap, I'm more than a little disappointed. I'll stick with Sloats where people have always been friendly and helpful. Also Annie's Annuals in Richmond has a helpful staff. I don't see any reason to go back to this place. read more

The owner is very knowledgable about plants and helpful. His assistant is also very eager to assist. Last time I went there, they told me I didn't need anything for my orchid, but just needed to change my watering habits a bit. read more

Pretty cool place, has a lot of unusual plants that I don't see elsewhere. Nice staff too.
