Stopped by after finding this location on Yelp. A large variety of plants, from outdoor to indoor plants, big variety of pots too. Prices are comparable to places nearby, we let them know about a better price down the road and they matched. Not a big difference in price but I did appreciate that they did match. We bought 3 plants on this trip. There was a young gentleman there that was very helpful, he knew wheee everything was in the property! When I say your gentleman, I mean he was about 13 and was knowledgeable on where the plants were by name. Good spot to stop by, I really recommend these nursery. read more

.., came here on 1/2/26 & sadly had an awkward & annoying experience. Our family loves to garden and I had been wanting to take my mother here for quite some time. Was in the neighborhood with my girlfriend and her parents & decided to finally check it out. The nursery has street parking and has signs making it easy to find. Walking up you immediately see the wide variety of pottery & plants that they have. I was pretty excited to dive in and see what they had to offer. Within 2 minutes of being there, literally 2 minutes we were greeted by a little boy. He ran up with a smile and stood there watching us. We said hello and he just nodded. We thought that's cute, and didn't think much of it. We haven't even begun our exploration when he followed us every step of the way, at times bumping elbows with us? We were taken by surprise because of how close he would get to us, it gave that feeling of him watching us as if we were going to steal something. He began running around us in circles, eventually grabbing a stick and tapping things next to us and playing around. Kids will be kids, I gave him that but this was way too much. My girlfriend's mother would at times bend over to look at a plant and he'd run past her making her have to step back or step forward awkwardly to let him by. We couldn't look in peace, it was impossible to even try with him squeezing in between us or running around us. It got annoying really fast, to the point where I was embarrassed that I took my girlfriend and her parents hyping it up to them saying that I've heard good things about this place. We eventually told the little boy that it's ok, we don't need help and we'll call him if we needed him but he didn't listen and stayed even closer after? Not long after another little boy, a little older ran up to check on us and probably seen the annoyed looks we had because he left us alone. At this point I was already turned off to even being there. I glanced at some prices and from what I had seen, some seemed kind of pricey while others seemed like a good deal. As we were leaving, I had noticed a woman sitting there with her kids and waved at her but she didn't wave back. I waved again and she just looked at me? So, that was awkward. Great selection, great space, this nursery had a nice variety of fountains, pottery, statues, and plants but to be constantly watched by this kid was definitely uncomfortable. I'm all for supporting family businesses, so I'll give this place another chance and bring my Mom because she's been wanting to go. Hopefully it's not always like this, otherwise we'll just bring our business elsewhere. read more

I was exited to finally stop by and check this place out. Although they have a big selection of items, the customer service can use some work. Upon walking in, there was no greeting, just awkward stares; unknowingly if the kids were the one's who are supposed to help or the adults. There were only 2 other customers so it wasn't a busy day. I asked about a specific plant and understandably it wasn't available but they recommended a similar one. Instead of walking me over to show me where to find it, he just directed me to the location. A simple hello or a check-in would have gone a long way. I was an interested buyer, but walked away disappointed. read more

Such a lovely, family-owned nursery. Everyone was incredibly kind, accommodating, and thoughtful from start to finish. You can really feel the care they put into their products and their business. Beautiful selection, great energy, and genuinely welcoming people. We're very grateful and will definitely be back. Highly recommend supporting this local gem read more

We randomly stopped at this family-owned nursery in Riverside on Saturday and I'm so glad we did! It has an amazing selection of plants, ceramics and even outdoor statuary I believe May have been made by a resident artist. We bought a lovely plant with succulents in a gorgeous planter as a gift for family we were visiting in Sn Bernardino, and also bought some lovely decorative items for ourselves too. Highly recommend! read more

This place has a great selection, just to walk around in this nursery is a wonderful experience, the owner is lovely. Will be back to buy more plants and beautiful talavera pottery! Also for parking, there is parking along side the street the business resides on. May be a little tough if it's busy, but it's worth it. read more

Walking in the was terrible chihuahua tied to the gate yapping away. That alone was not welcoming. There's no dedicated parking so i had to park across the street and walk. I asked for someone to show me where a specific plants and instead of walking me over to the plant the lady just gave directions. The plants were not in the best condition in the best condition. The did have a lot of plots and metal decorations. Overall i wouldn't shop there. read more
