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.

Terra Bella Nursery is an amazing plant nursery in the heart of San Diego…read more They have an amazing selection of both indoor and outdoor plants with a wide range of prices. They obviously specialize in plants native to the area, but you can also find a few tropical and more "exotic" plants in their indoor section. Someone mentioned on another review that this nursery was small, but frankly I thought it was pretty large. I also like that there's a coffee shop inside the nursery which makes it a perfect spot to hang out. The only tricky thing about this nursery is the parking, as it can be a little tight and the spots are not very well marked. But overall I loved it and the coffee shop inside is a must!

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!

I've gone on multiple anniversary trips with my husband because we love being able to have a nice meal, visit farm animals, and buy all the plants we can fit in our car. We just did this a couple days ago for our anniversary, hence my updated review. We probably shop here 3-5 times/year and love pointing out changes to the grounds during our visits, it's like a new surprise every trip. I'd spend birthdays here too if I could, but they close every year between Christmas and New Years (rightfully so, they give so much to this community and deserve some rest!). This updated review is more of a thank you to everyone at City Farmer's, truly one of the most special places in San Diego.

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!
