This is the nursery to trust. I have received exceptional customer service and expert advice from every person I've spoke with and on multiple visits. Today it was Liz. She set me straight on a whole lot of misconceptions that I had in my head and shared both industry standards and recommendations as well as personal opinions from her own expertise. It was so refreshing and I vowed to never go to another nursery as long as I'm in this part of the world. A thumbs up five star experience and not just this time but every time. Today Liz really shined though. read more

Went in with Mystery Bulbs my husband got and their new hire Lauren casually Reverse Googled those Mystery Bulbs into Dahlias!! So freaking impressed!! I said Lauren needs a raise! That was when they told me it was her first day on the job. Welcome to Prickett's Lauren. Hope they give you a raise Never had Dahlia's before so I trusted the trained professionals to get me what they would need to survive. A half wine barrel and two big bags of potting soil later I am ready to tuck these gems in and hope they like their new home. Wish them luck please-they will need it! read more

Prickett's Nursery -Santa Rosa - So much great stuff! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We stopped in because we were in the parking lot at the gas station. We were in search of cut flowers to bring to my father's gravesite. We were greeted when we walked in with a friendly greeting. The clerk that greeted us said they didn't do cut flowers however she continued to ask me questions about my need. While I waited for my son I looked around before I headed out. A few minutes later she came back to me letting me know that they could have their floral designer create me a bouquet from using their flower garden in the front of the nursery. I was grateful for this since I had my kids with me and it's hard to make multiple stops. The floral designer was friendly and helped me pick the right mix of flowers for our bouquet. The bouquet was perfect! read more

See all

The employees are very knowledgeable. They always had great answers to any and all questions we had about plants we were interested in.

This happened months ago. I swore I wouldn't 'Yelp!' it; that I would just spread it by word of mouth. But I don't talk garden shopping offline very often in social settings, and it feels strange to be that gossipy in real life. The Walla Walla onions were infested with small, crawling, devouring insect pests. Their refunds only allow for returning the merchandise and decreasing the chances of contamination was a much higher priority to me. I left voicemail alerting them to the infestation, got a voicemail back about coming in and getting gardening materials boons, and the situation was stressful enough that I opted to wait a couple months to deal with it, if at all. I was relieved to hear they'd attended to it and would not be infesting the gardens of my entire neighborhood! It's a local place, and they've barely moved locations, so initially, a lot of forgiveness. Then, a month or two later, I was out picking up seeds with my mother, and, as bizarre fortune would have it, had recently become enamored with a different variety of onion: Italian Red of Florence, Shallot. Thank goodness I always insist upon a receipt out of the old habit left over from checkbooks! Because we sat in the parking lot, facing the absolute center of the store front, as I turned over the various seed packets and read aloud their exciting yield information and plant spacing, discovering, much to my surprise, that the Italian Red of Florence Onion seeds(!!!) were expired by a year. I offered to jog on in, but we had an animal with us and I'm skilled at keeping animals quiet, so my mother headed in with the receipt in hand and stood again at the counter where we both had stood, less than 10 minutes before. Their exchange was wonderful, I am told, and the woman behind the counter, of course, remembered her from a few minutes before, but had to call the manager for the exchange to a packet or two with an expiration date not already past. Oddly, when the manager approached she didn't immediately look at the receipt but instead seemed to accuse my mother of trying to return seed packets she must have purchased the year before and only just now thought to return. Now isn't that random? And I have to think, if twice in my own family, how many other families are they offending, while relying on prior goodwill and a forgiving community? My mother stood her ground and handed over the receipt, which proved reality real, and was told how the seed packets "must be donated seed" which together, we later puzzled out to mean 'must have been earmarked to donate from a year prior and been accidentally swapped up'. After that, I didn't get a voicemail in return. We now drive well out of our way to pick up soil somewhere more reliable. read more

Great selection and great support, we got some cool plants with supportive assistance. It's nice to try to shop local, we didn't save money but we did support the community. read more

Prickett's is expensive, expensive, expensive! If you want Paydirt from a nursery at a better price, go to Kings in northeast Santa Rosa. I just payed $6 less per bag for 2 of the biggest bags of Paydirt one can purchase at this beautiful, quaint nursery. Also, one can browse at Kings without being watched like a hawk like you're a thief. read more

Just bought a lovely crape Myrtle tree and had it delivered. Super service! I wasn't home but they placed it right next to the hole we'd dug. Perfect! Price was great too. Staff is always nice. Highly recommend. read more

I would just like to say that I took my eight-year-old mother to crickets nursery today and she had a blast. The staff is very knowledgeable, courteous friendly, and helpful shout out to everybody at Prickett. I'm sure we will be back. I got to say again everyone there was so courteous and helpful, thank you Renee, the manager, the only name I could remember. read more

Since this family biz moved from the much larger property at the corner of Hwy 12 @ Calistoga road several years ago, I shop here for my garden needs less frequently. Why? Less inventory, less selection especially for hard good like pots, garden tools, etc. I came in recently to purchase 4 ferns, only one in stock and it was outrageously priced. None the less I award four stars because the place is well organized, the staff is always friendly and helpful. The plants they do have in stock are always healthy and look good. Prickett's can't price compete with Home Depot, but they can survive because this is the only plant nursery on this side of suburban Santa Rosa. read more

They give discounts for teachers and military ..plus they give out coupons for $5 off your next purchase on Wednesdays. No metal sculptures here but at the Healdsburg location read more

A bit high on the prices but they have a little bit of everything. Not impressed with the dirt selection, they don't have some specifics like dirt for succulents. You get a 10% discount if you're 55 and over MOST of the time...! When I first moved here and came in December I got some Christmas stuff on sale and my additional 10% from a male cashier. Today I went and got a plant on sale 30% and was told they don't "stack discounts" by a female cashier so I see it as I really only got 20% off if you look at it that way. I paid $160 for a ponytail palm which I am still in love with, although I learned how to take care of it very differently than what they told me. If I just went by the moisture meter at the bottom, my plant would dry out and it started to get a bunch of brown leaves. I learned that when the first couple of inches is dry, I give it one to two small pitchers of water for the top. Then when the bottom gets dry, I put four in until I just start to see water creeping out of the bottom. It's been going strong and very happy now with no brown for almost a year. It is beautiful, but you do pay for it. For basic stuff I go to the other stores. read more

I called to see if there was a particular plant and was told they didn't have it but Cindy said she would call their other location. They didn't Have it either, but they'll call when the delivery comes in. I also was looking for another couple of plants that had not come yet.. Think I'm rushing Spring LOL We will return in a few weeks found service knowledgeable and friendly. read more

This is really unfortunate review because this is a great spot and local. But EVERY SINGLE PLANT we've bought from this place have died. It's taken 6 months but that's it, we're not buying any more plants from here. Every single plant has been root bound to the point where we couldn't even separate the roots when repotting. We've treated all our other plants well and have taken care of them properly. We're avid gardeners but for some reason, every single plant we've purchased has not made it. We purchased a rhododendron, majesty palm, yucca, and fern. Never buying plants from here ever again. read more

We love this nursery, they have helped us get the right plants that will do well with our redwoods. Staff is always awesome

Been a big fan of Prickett's Nursery and frequent visitor for my spring time planting needs. Prickett has two locations, both which are quite convenient for myself (Near work and on my way home). They used to be located near calistoga road, but have since moved to the Valley of the Moon Plaza on Hwy 12. I will say that their Healdsburg location is a tight squeeze on busy days, but continues to offer wonderful service and a vast selection of goods. As for their Hwy 12 location, it is my favorite as it is on my way home, offers ample parking, and the same goodies the other facility has. Always be on the lookout as they have specials running all the time on their a frame signs on Hwy 12. If in the area and you need some gardening goods, look no further than this wonderful affordable gem. read more

Oh goodness. I can't say enough about the helpfulness and professionalism I received on the phone I live out of town and needed a special Live plant delivered to a dear friend Not only did they accommodate me they went way beyond Thank you all. I miss your old location and the roaming chickens God Bless read more

Great place, love going here to get my outdoor plants & the indoor plants are good as well. Everyone is super nice and helpful! And they always have what I am looking for, when it comes to native plants or plants for the bee's! read more

Rene was very helpful to us on picking out the perfect pot and system for our snake plant.

Wonderful experience! Very orderly, you are directed to enter and exit at opposite ends. No running into folks coming in or out. Great selection of veggies and beautiful plants, staff is very helpful! read more

Great selection and knowledge, and the plants we've bought for our home here in nearby Oakmont have thrived!

I was looking for a small succulent and found several to choose from, along with an inexpensive small yellow pot and saucer. Those and the correct soil mix came to less than $20, a good deal in my opinion. read more

I love this nursery and always find exactly what I want . . . and a lot of what I didn't know I wanted! For example, every year, I purchase several "Sun Gold" tomato plants, along with azaleas, hydrangas, herbs, and roses AND then, will end up with an assortment of fertilizers, organic pesticides, and new pots. My backyard is spectacular and Prickett's is the reason. They also have master gardeners on hand to answer my questions and suggest new plants. Highly recommend this business. read more

They have the best quality plants at great prices. Just got a flat of Jasmine and transplanted along the fence line right before this heat wave and they are holding up strong! You honestly can Not beat this customer service and quality selection locally. Shop local. read more

The beginning of last summer, I decided I wanted to try out some plants in my home. So I stopped by Prickett's. I can't describe how incredibly kind and informative they were. Not only did they help me find some suitable plants, but they also made sure I felt comfortable with how to care for them. Since then, I have added at least a dozen more plants to my home. The plants are in excellent condition and gorgeous. I am so grateful to the employees. I have had to call a handful of times for different advice and they have always gone above and beyond. I love the selection they have. I'll be going back soon for a few new additions. LOVE this place! read more

this is an example of the kind of plants that they sell at this nursery. it won't stop growing. staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable. great place to shop read more

Best nursery for plants from veggies to herbs to flowers. Strong roots in seedlings and I've never have had anything that didn't grow in my garden! Stop complaining about the location! Easy to find, Accra in and out to Highway 12 with the stoplight and lots of parking! read more

My favorite nursery, hands down. All the ladies are so kind and helpful. I love spending my money at this special spot. The prices are very reasonable and completely worth every cent. Shop local read more

Prickett's Nursery believes in customer service. I live in OC but wanted to send a large house plant (3-5 ft tall) in a ceramic pot to a niece as a house-warming gift. Checked Yelp and went strictly by nurseries closest to where the plant was to be delivered. After calls to 3 different disinterested nurseries in Santa Rosa, finally one suggested that I call Prickett's. Adria answered the phone and actually listened to what I needed. She then proceeded to text me numerous photos of large house plants available in inventory along with a selection of suitable sized ceramic pots. There were at least 10 stunning choices which made me very jealous that such a wonderful nursery is available in Santa Rosa. Adria answered questions about the light requirements of the plant I selected and was as knowledgeable as she was helpful. My niece will have her gift delivered tomorrow and I am overjoyed with the selection. If you live in Santa Rosa, Prickett's Nursery has a huge selection of healthy plants and they believe in customer service. read more

This is a god awful location, it's out of view because it's behind the Valero/711 loaction. The only reason people come to this parking lot is to go to 711 and get gas. They are expensive as f. I went to look at their tiny selection, asked for shrubs, they have NO shrubs. Everything had a jacked up price, above market value. they didn't know what a Scrub Jay was. Every nursery should know it's most common birds, local to the area as a lot of humans interested in gardening want to attract local birds. This place smells of pathetic. BYE. read more

Helpful lovely staff, healthy vibrant plants, organic too! and great prices in our local community - what more can you want? DO NOT BUY PLANTS AT HOME DEPOT, CVS etc, they spray/raise them with chemicals there to prevent plants going to seed, which KILLS BEES, BUTTERFLIES AND BIRDS!!! Better to go to our local businesses. They not only need your patronage, they will patiently answer all your questions, help you to find what you want, help your garden thrive, as well as let the birds and bees thrive too! If you don't believe me look at what a Berwick's Wren thought was a great place to make a nest and hatch its eggs - in among the organic plants! read more

I love this place. Almost every time I go in I see Rene and she is unbelievably helpful. I hope the bosses know what a critical part of me shopping there she is(although the rest of the employees are great too). I hope people shop here and support local business and get the help they deserve versus the big box stores. read more

Love, Love, Love this place and exceptional customer service from Rene and Natasha! They were great in everything they did and made even buying potting soil a fun experience! Great plants and pots as well!!! read more

Y'all have a great store here! It's like a satellite of the Healdsburg store. A little smaller and homier. Still great in its own way. What they don't have, they can get from the bigger store down the road. They still set up for the season and maybe the next one too. Very helpful and great advice. This place has everything in one place too. It's great not to drive around getting stuff. It's all there. Helpful people and very friendly! Great place, but a little smaller. Sometimes they have to order from the Healdsburg store. If you're not in a hurry, that's fine. read more

They moved to the dumbest location possible. I'm sure they will go out of business in the next 2 years or less. They have too expensive prices to last, in addition. read more

The location is terrible I gotta say. Buried behind a 7-11 gas station with a one way type entrance. I guess they had to move from that corner spot for whatever reason. Still pretty expensive overall. The staff was always nice at the other shop at least that is still the same. read more

They were the best location to go for gardening advice, plants and planting materials, and mosquito abatement. They were positioned in the middle of Rincon Valley and acted as an organic, healthy hub of the community. Displaced down the street a bit due to greedy landlords, they are harder to get to, but rebuilding the outside nursery. Still one of the best places to go for plants, good advice, and garden supplies. read more
