I ordered a one gallon golden currant. What arrived was a tiny plant in a huge pot.....two tiny stems, one of which was broken off. Definitely not worth the money. Do not recommend and will never order from here again. read more

Dishonest people. They charged me for an order and then took a 6 week break "to let people and plants rest" before shipping my order. They ignored multiple requests for a refund they're obligated to give according to FTC consumer protection rules for online orders. After my third email letting them know I was filing a fraud complaint, they overnight shipped the order I cancelled and asked for a refund due to exceeding 30 days since the order. Now their plants are sitting on the curb while I proceed with the complaint and dispute the charges. Absolute scumbags. read more

Hi folks,…
7 months ago
The customer service was exemplary, fast, responsive, and most knowledgeable about plants. The plants received were healthy, and the packaging was of particular note. In that packaging, the plants were very carefully wrapped in biodegradable materials, and were received both promptly but also without any damage. read more

If they will ever answer my 3 emails and 2 phone calls to replace my black huckleberry plants that came so beaten up due to lack of support in packaging. I've heard nothing the last three months of trying to get replacements. They say they appreciate buisness and you making the world greener but ya can't if the plants come dead. To make matters worse these were ordered as a memorial to my beloved pup named Huckleberry.... Please Native Foods Nursery do the right thing here.... read more

I would LOVE to recommend this nursery but I CAN'T! I was so excited to order plants that after I entered my order for new plants, I placed another order the next day. It's been all bad news since then. 11 days later I've been charged two hundred+ dollars and the plants haven't shipped and there's been no communication or replies to my emails or phone calls for the past 9 days. Really bums me out. I so much wanted to support them year after year. read more

I ordered $201.39 cents worth of plants on 6/25/25. I ordered 4 Salmonberry, 2 blackcap raspberry and 2 pacific blackberry all in 1 gallon pots. Upon ordering there was a notice that I should expect a 3 week wait prior to shipping, which h was fine because I didn't want them shipped until at least mid July which I noted in the order. I contacted them via their website/messages on 7/17/25, 7/19/25, and 7/24/25 with no response. I also tried calling on 7/19 and left a message with no reply or response. The plants arrived today. The black cap raspberries are TINY (7 inches from soil to top of the plant), and one of them is crispy dead. The Salmon berries are all approximately half dead with at least half of the leaves dry, brown, and curled up. They all also show signs of pest damage to the leaves. The 2 blackberries actually appear to have survived and we will follow the given directions and hope for their survival. I would absolutely not recommend buying from this business due to their product as well as their business practices. read more

I ordered some Ceanothus plants in late October, 2023. I wanted large plants. I did not know when they would be shipped, but requested shipping as soon as they were available. I worried a bit about what I would actually receive and when. In early February I received notice that my plants were ready. Native Foods sent me photos. The plants looked great. Two days later I received the plants. They were cleverly packaged and arrived in fine shape. No damage at all. I now have total trust in these honest and honorable people. Thank you, For spectacular service and beautiful product. Would that more businesses cared half as much about their customers. Thank you, Dima and Raya and all who helped fulfill my order Sincerely, D. Quigley read more

Outstanding! These were the healthiest and most well-packaged plants I have EVER received. We ordered plants from a different company last year which was an awful experience, they all arrived months after they were ordered, mostly dead, free-floating in a bag, and dry as a bone. So seeing what we received from Native Foods Nursery was a stark contrast to our last experience. We ordered two replacement bushes (for our bushes that died last year during a heatwave), a strawberry plant, a grapevine, and a fern. It took exactly how long the site said it would to ship (down to the day) and once shipped everything arrived within 48 hours. When we opened the box all the plants were neatly puzzle pieced together in such a way no two plants were crowded, not a single brown leaf in sight, and each base was neatly taped up and stapled securely to the box. I think UPS could have drop-kicked this box from the roof and each plant STILL would have arrived in perfect condition. The only feedback I have is more please, more variety, maybe some non-edible plants as well... just stock everything and triple your company size cuz really if I could buy all my plants forever from this nursery... I would. read more

I wasn't expecting SPRIGS of Indian Rice Grass when I ordered 1 gallon pots. They are just whisps of grass blades, not worth $25 a piece! Maybe a couple of dollars, but definitely NOT $25 each! read more

I ordered in June 2021. I received in Late September 2021. I planted same day. These were bare root twigs. So all through March 2022 I looked for signs of life. One of my twigs was looking good the other twig was not. So I wrote NFN to inform them that one was not living. They immediately wrote back and said that I have them "so long" there was nothing they would do. So when I replied to the "so long" remark they wrote back that they only stand behind their plants 3 months. So since mine did not leaf and show signs of life in the depths of winter too bad so sad You might want to know this before wasting you money read more

The HoneyBerry bushes I ordered arrived in a box or I should say the dirt and plants were all over the inside of the box. It looked like these had been well watered and the water soaked the tape. What a mess! I have made phone calls and took pictures and sent to them. I have heard nothing from this company. I have re-potted the bushes and they may live. I will never do business with this company again. I ordered two sets of bushes from two companies. Lets just say the shipping and plants from the other company look great and were shipped much better. read more

I ordered 2 plants. They arrived very quickly, but one only lasted a few days. I messaged them and they immediately sent out a new beautiful replacement. Both plants are very healthy and thriving. They arrived in eco friendly packaging so I could plant directly in the ground wiithout damaging the roots. Great customer service and very knowledgeable! Very easy to order and work with. Great products. I will definitely order from them again and again. read more

Great products, but shipping and packaging is a huge challenge. I have been sent a very large order, last March, when there was still snow on the ground where I am in WA and they would not hold onto the order longer, so a few days later the snow melted, we planted many bulbs and lupines, we saw one or 2 glacier lilies, but nothing survived. Even the Riverbank Lupine, which bloomed and were so beautiful died over the winter. I had even bought a consult to make sure I was thinking along the right lines. I have purchased a few other items other times which worked out better - the evergreen huckleberry and golden currants are thriving. This year I just received an order which we unpackaged and planted. Talk about torture to get to the plants and not hurt them in the process. My husband pulled out the staples, and even for him it was not easy. The amount of packaging tape taping in the lupines with their fragile little aerial parts sticking out was outrageous. It took some serious patience and determination. I did get them out after painstaking careful cutting, and they are in the ground. I would recommend that this company look at the packaging from Bluestone Perennials. It's a dream - no staples, no difficult packaging tape, just recyclable cardboard, cut and folded so that the plants stay in. As it stands, I am not sure I will order from Native Foods again, but if I do they will be gallon containers that are not plantable - these were the easiest to deal with. I do find their prices to be high so it is always better to buy a lot and achieve the 20% discount if you can. read more

I love the idea of this unique nursery based on native plant food sources, including bulbs, perennials, shrubs and trees. I ordered a hard-to-find pine tree and some bulbs, and they arrived quickly, healthy and happy, the packaging a marvel of shipping protection. Highly recommended, whether you want to eat their plants or just enjoy their beauty. read more

Native Food Nursery delivered FANTASTIC products. Not only do they have a wonderful selection of native plants, but they are in perfect condition - even after being shipped. Their packaging and pots are made of compostable products, and packaged beautifully and securely. I am incredibly impressed by how beautiful the plants were upon arrival and how the company used canvas and newspaper and eco pots. Truly impressed. Absolutely will be purchasing from again, and I would definitely encourage everyone to work on rewilding their yards, and going back to native plants - using Native Food Nursery as a supplier. The prices are also very affordable and reasonable for the quality delivered. read more

I just received my first order from Native Foods Nursery but it won't be my last. I was a bit worried about the size and health of the plants I would received but I didn't need to worry. The plants arrived safely because they were well packed and are obviously health. (They only ship on Monday and Tuesday so that the plants will reach you before the package would have to sit over a week end.) read more

so, i've been in the biz 30 years, put a lot of plants inn a lot of holes- and that means thousands-,over a significant chunk of the SF Bay Area- and i love working with Native Foods Nursery's materials. put simply they have great roots. every time i get a plant from them it has well developed healthy roots, no nasty clumps of fertilizer pellets, no sign of forcing, just nice healthy, roots, clearly grown with a great deal of loving attention and hard work. the same ethic extends top their packing and shipping practices, in all joy to work with- and i always think it silly to ask for a photo of the plant i just bought- its busy adapting to its new home, but heres a couple of bare-roots from Native Foods Nursery over the last few years happy in their containers- photo's mostly about the bay laurel- but you can see the white oak poking out read more

I live in the South, so these plants may not like our hot Summer & Autumn. The plants arrived in great shape, taped down, the bare roots packed & covered, potted plants were taped down also. I will buy from them again. I feel better about ordering West coast plants now that I have read Danial W. review, thanks Danial. These plant traveled over 2800 miles, but they looked like the had traveled 28 miles the same day they were packed. The sawdust packed around 3" plug Black Huckleberry the top rate professional packing of a starter plant. Every plant was damp, not wet & packing was dry. It is nice to get what you pay for, hope I can keep them alive in the heat, till Winter. J.O.L. read more

Wow! Great company! I received my plants yesterday. The care and efforts they used in wrapping them for delivery showed the love and concern they had for every single plant. The containers that every plant was individually packed in to the paper used as a cushion to secure each individual plant into its place made for happy plants and a happy consumer. I plan on buying from them again. I have purchased from 5 other companies in the past two months, this company is at the top of my narrowed list now and I highly recommend them. read more

I never write reviews, but am so impressed with Native Foods Nursery, I feel compelled to. The other reviews say it all! My 6 plants arrived ingeniously packaged. Plants were healthy, beautiful and already well established in their biodegradable pots. I was able to plant them without taking them out of their pots and disturbing the roots. I planted them a couple weeks ago and there is plenty of new growth on them now. I would definitely buy from them again. What a phenomenal company! You can really tell that they care! read more

I want to give a shout out to this native edible plant company. I have ordered at least 5 times from NFN and each time the plants arrived in perfect condition with excellent environmentally-friendly packaging materials. The plants were healthy and add so much interest to my yard. I especially like the Evergreen Huckleberries and the Oregon Stonecrop. The lupine are coming up with lots of energy this second year, and the perennial nodding onions spread to yield a good crop. read more

Was very pleasantly surprised how the box was packed. I had seven different plants including two small trees in this shipment. Most of the soil was intact. The plants are alive and well. You have to be patient for certain shipments due to weather conditions. I as a avid gardener appreciate this attention to detail. The box did have damage due to rough shipping but that didn't matter. The quality of the packaging made this a nonissue! read more

I love this nursery!! I've ordered from them several times and each time my plants arrive healthy and vibrant. The care they take in preparing/packaging them for sending through the mail couldn't be done any better - it's obvious they love the plants they are sending out as much as those of us who are on the receiving end! THANK YOU Native Foods Nursery, you folks are truly the best! read more

Received the package from Native Foods Nursery. I live way out in the country so get many things shipped to me. The packing was the best I've seen. The plants were secure - each in a little box that was stapled to the packing box. The plants were healthy and didn't really seem to have suffered any ill effects in the shipping process. I will definitely order from this company again! read more

I ordered 15 plants from Native Foods Nursery. I have ordered natives before from other sources and had mixed results. These plants were delivered in perfect condition, cool and moist in bio-degradable containers so you can plant them without disturbing the roots. This is really important to help the plants get off to a good start. Highly recommend Native Foods Nursery. read more

It was a pleasant surprise to find native ceanothus on their plant list as I was having a hard time finding them on native nursery websites. Reasonably priced, I ordered what I could. When the plants arrived, I found the packaging to be as exceptional as the quality of the plants. Rest assured your plants will be healthy, bigger than one would think and packaged well. read more

I have made several purchases of both native flowering plants and mostly berry plants. Not only do I appreciate the care that they put into packaging and instruction, but they are also willing to answer questions for my success ( and for the plants of course). We need more compassionate companies (employees) like Native Food Nursery. Thank you, team! read more
