The variety of plant options starting from seed, to transplant ready, to productive trees is astonishing. The staff knows the ins and outs of all the different types of plants they carry and how to care for them, as well as very nice and easy to work with! We were given excellent recommendations and took home a heritage raspberry plant and highland blueberry plant. Both have been great and productive for my home and I'll be hopefully coming back again soon to pick up more!

I like their plants, which are regularly delivered to my local hardware store. However, trying to…read moreorder from them is quite difficult. I've tried to order online, but this is impossible. First they ask you where your local store is based on zip code. I put that in, got my local store. But then I was been asked for a password for an account I don't have. Can't register for an account online either; it keeps telling me nope, I'm registered, but there's no way to recover my password or get a new one. It just goes in an endless loop of "NO". Not a user-friendly site. Today, Sat. Feb. 13, I tried to put in an order via San Carlos Hardware, but they told me they can't do that and I should call Moosa, so I tried to call. I got a message saying they were closed - for the CHRISTMAS holidays! Uh, I know COVID has blurred a lot of stuff, but I still know what month it is. And if I were running a business I'd sure update my phone message more often. I hate to give them 3 stars, but their customer service both online and by phone is pretty nonexistent.

One of the better places to buy smaller cacti and succulents…read more The long drive up to Fallbrook will definitely save you money over nurseries found around San Diego. Be sure to walk around the entire property. Smaller items are up front and larger items are found the deeper you go. They didn't have ocotillo plants but their sister location in Desert Hot Springs does. They will ship stuff from their other location to this location if the Fallbrook location doesn't sell a specific plant. They'll take pictures of the plant first before the order is placed. Parking is along the side of the road. Summation: If you're planting a desert garden make sure that you put Mariscal on your list of places to check out.

The service is always great and selection is unbelievable!! It's must see and a hidden gem!read more

My experience with Planet Desert was extremely disappointing…read more As a business owner, I regularly work with growers and suppliers throughout the country, and professional courtesy goes a long way. Unfortunately, my interaction with Planet Desert was marked by an unfriendly and unhelpful attitude from the start. I reached out in hopes of sourcing a specific cactus and exploring wholesale opportunities, but any attempt at discussion was met with what felt like complete indifference. I fully understand that not every plant qualifies for wholesale pricing, and that is ultimately a business decision. My disappointment stems not from the answer itself, but from the manner in which the conversation was handled. Customer service matters, and in this case it was noticeably lacking. The cactus and succulent industry is fortunate to have countless knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming growers, particularly throughout California and the Southwest, who genuinely value relationships and customer service. After this experience, I will be taking my business elsewhere. If you appreciate working with suppliers who are courteous, approachable, and interested in building long-term relationships, I would recommend looking at other options before choosing Planet Desert. I wish them the best, but I won't return. No one should give anyone money to be treated with indifference.

Fallbrook, Ca. This place is closing its doors soon, I…read morerecommend getting here in early October, 2023. Probably best to call and make sure the gates will be open before you make the trip (760-990-4762). The selection of plants is a bit overwhelming. One could easily buy a truck load. I wish the plants were better marked, I would have probably bought more. They are not priced either (there is a general price guide but limited)but if you can get one of the owners to walk with you to the plants in question, they will provide a wealth of information. I think they are probably more geared to wholesale sales to landscape professionals than to small garden hobbyists like myself. The prices are not give away, but very fair. In addition I got some kind of discount that was worth 15%, and to top it all off I got a gift plant priced at $15. The next location will be Yucca Valley, quite a bit further than my current one hour drive.
