PRODUCTS ?/5 Beneficial Nematodes: I've been waiting for some time to post a review about the effectiveness of this beneficial nematode purchase. I bought the nematodes to get rid of pests like fleas and grubs. In combination with deterring wildlife by eliminating excess landscape and removing food sources and potential shelters, I noticed a decrease in yard pests. I can't directly attribute the reduction to this product but I'd like to think it works

I was looking in the area for a place that soil. This popped up on Yelp, so I gave it a go…read more Parking: Street parking. Though it's a neighborhood, it's not an overly packed one, so it was cool! Vibes: Welcome to the Linda Vista neighborhood. You're not too far away from the main plaza, but when you're here, it feels completely different. Though it's a house, it feels like you're in a nursery. They have a lot of plants, it left me pretty surprised. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people who were super knowledgeable. OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! I had a great experience here. It was fun walking around getting lost, seeing the different plants and seeing them thriving. They had some plants/produce I didn't expect to see. I wish I had a garden now to grow some of these plants but all in all, great place! Represent-ASIAN! Tips: * Plan accordingly, call ahead of time to check if they got what you're looking for. * Ong has a double meaning in Chinese - prosperity or pineapple.

Succulents, tropicals, houseplants, plus a fair number of things I hadn't seen anywhere else locally. Prices were honestly better than I expected for a place that looks this good. What makes it work is the plants, the DJ, and the overall cool factor. There's a booth right in the middle of the nursery with a disco ball over it and music going through the whole space, so you're wandering rows of tropicals with a set playing. Selva Coffee House is inside too. Espresso drinks are properly made, the house syrups are creative without being gimmicky, and they don't charge extra for oat or almond milk. Seating is tucked in among the plants, so you're drinking your coffee in what basically feels like tropical greenhouse.

If you're a dog owner, this is your kind of place. They even have a pup cup bar. I'm adding a brief clip from our visit that highlights the kind of small touches that make this place stand out. Dog‑parent perks aside, this nursery has the best ceramic pot collection in all of San Diego. Beautiful colors, every size you can imagine, matching saucers -- everything. And the prices are genuinely great. If you're hunting for something specific, they've got you covered. There's also a sweet little section of home décor, patio goodies, and dog items sprinkled throughout the store -- perfect for gifting or treating yourself. Plenty of parking, a rewards system, friendly vibes, and a super dog‑friendly atmosphere. Make this your new go‑to dog‑walk destination. Enzo and I already did.

There's so much to see, so bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfy shoes since the ground can be uneven. You'll encounter steps, slopes, and some dirt paths. The parking lot is small and fills up fast, so I like to get there early, especially if I'm doing a big plant haul. It can be tricky loading plants when you're parked far away. What doesn't this place have? There's an onsite bar and grill that's dog‑friendly, has live music, and serves brunch on weekends. There's also a cute boutique flower/gift shop with curated items perfect for any plant lover. They offer free local classes to help educate the community -- I've taken the shrub class, but they have tons of gardening‑related workshops. They have chickens, birds, turtles, and more. They care for and rescue animals, which is amazing. They sell compost, and they have every plant you can imagine, plus a large selection of seeds, pots, tools, beekeeping supplies, and canning equipment. I love that this is a neighborhood, locally owned nursery that truly gives back. They do so much to educate the community and promote sustainability. Please support them and get your next plant baby here. A perfect place for kids and pups!

The setting is beautiful and a joy to explore. And it's a great spot to check out for all of your gardening needs.

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 love taking a nice long walk throughout the grounds. Entering from the west side of the nursery, you'll find a variety of planter pots- ceramic, clay and plastic.

Meander at will. Ask someone if you need assistance. Grab a low price snack across from the cashier, if you're hungry. Free street parking, walk, bicycle. Top notch customer service.
