Love, love, love this place. The only thing I wish they did was to keep all of the "like" plants together. Tree's with tree's, cacti with cacti, ect. Everything was mixed in and we ended up having to walk all over just so we had for sure looked at all of the different options and sizes for the tree's we wanted to get. 9/10 overall for the selection. read more

I was blown away at the selection AND how healthy all the plants were! There is garden decor but it is a little limited. I didn't have a chance to rake a good look at all the trees because this nursery is large! read more

I should give a 2 or 3 but service was too friendly so I can't. The service is amazing but the selection is bad. You know I thought laredos nurseries were the worst in America with dead trees but this equaled it today. A shame. Shrubs, veggies and perennials were decent but tree both shade and fruit all dead looking for most part, I'd say 70% of them. Maybe cause it was fall but other nurseries in town had better selection read more

Hands down the best plant shop in town. The place is huge. The prices are comparable to those of HEB, Lowes and the other one. But the selection is endless. Each plant or flower is top notch and the service is excellent. Don't forget to stop by the "as is" section in the front entrance. Those chipped or cracked planters have character and are cheaply discounted. The only con is there are too many options and that frustrates me bc I want it all. Love the domed building too! read more

I went 40 miles to find this place, and it was worth it. I found all the veggie plants I wanted. Very well marked, price and location. The staff was all very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. My wife and I enjoyed the location, just wish we lived closer to them. We definitely would be back more often. Thank you Rainboow Gardens, you rock. Roger and Josie C. read more

Pretty bad customer service, but since I'm from out of town I stuck with it and did finally get what I wanted. I called ahead looking for sampaguita flowers and the young lady said they had them in three different sizes. I arrived, but there was no one anywhere among their huge selection of plants, so I walked back inside. I flagged down a guy by blocking his hasty path, but he had no idea what it was that I was looking for and pointed out the general manager. So, I stood by while he moved back and forth helping another customer with one thing, then another, and yet another. Suddenly the cashier asked him to help another couple who had literally JUST walked through the door. He brushed by me before I could even protest even though I had been VERY obviously waiting a foot away from him. Told the cashier I needed help and was still ignored. Looked for that manager next, but he was no where to be found. Finally got in the cashier's line to ask for assistance, she radioed him and he finally asked me what I wanted after a ten minute wait. He was really nice and helped me to what I wanted, but there was never so much as an apology or a thank you for waiting around in our store for half an hour while we prove to you that every other customer in the store is more important than you. Further, he explained to me how lucky I was that they actually had what it was that I wanted because the girl who answered the phone assumed I was asking for something else because she had never heard of sampaguita flowers either. Basically, there is one person in the whole store who knows what the plants are. Big fail on so many levels. Boo, even if I lived next door I wouldn't come here again. read more

Rainbow Gardens is one of my favorite nurseries in San Antonio. They have a HUGE selection of beautiful, healthy plants & trees that are well marked and priced and they have a very knowledgable staff. read more

Last day for saws rebate/ 1) go to millsberger gardening off 1604N, Ed a manager chose 7 plants ( told us only pay taxes on $100. Rebate), proceed to check out I was charged $180., another manager gave me a difficult time( no business savvy) had him unload truck. 2) went to heb off Evans Rd., we were told they weren't participating even though it's printed on saws water saver voucher. Upset because traffic was so BAD! I quit! Sister told me let's go to RAINBOW GARDENS right off Thousand Oaks. So glad we did. Drive up told a young man what we were there for. He got Michael to assist us. Michael gave us exactly what we asked for. Great setup! Great Associates! This is a definite number 1 facility! They have everything you need. And no attitudes, like millsberger manager. read more

It's amazing, you have to see for yourself. Helpful staff and beautiful sights. Really inspired me to have a beautiful garden. Don't waste time at Home Depot or Lowe's for gardening, go here. read more

I really like this place. I bought quite a good selection of herbs & veg and also rented their seed spreader thing. im new to gardening and they gave some good tips and advice-cant believe my lawn is growing already! they have a much better selection then another nursery I tried and I'll definitely be back to get more goodies! read more

You have to visit this place, I have been to many garden stores but this one has them all beat. It was like paradise with all the different flowers, succulents and veggies they sell. read more

Great nursery with large selection. Everything from tiny plants to huge trees. The plants looked very healthy. Reasonable prices. We will be back! read more

I am a very green gardener and had a load of questions. Ronny (hope it's spelled correctly) was the guy I spoke with and he was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions!!! I have another garden store closer to me but with the service I received today, driving a little further is totally worth it! Thank you rainbow gardens for providing excellent customer service!!! read more

This place is awesome! At first, it looks like its not that big but then you keep walking and walking through lots of beautiful plants, trees, shrubs, flowers etc. Plus the people have been so friendly and helpful. I like the quality of the merchandise they provide. I recently bought a yellow rose bush for my mom and she loved it. It had lots of blooms and healthy foliage. read more

We are new to San Antonio and have been checking out nurseries here. I was specifically looking for rosemary and French lavender in 4" pots. I couldn't find them at another nursery nearby nor at the big stores. I found this place on Yelp and we were over in the area and stopped by. Like others said it looks small but it is HUGE! It goes on forever when you get to the back. FOREVER. The plants were spectacular and the choices amazing. They even have informative signs over most of the plants which I found so helpful and I wish other places would try that. We wandered all over and it took awhile. So many fruit trees, ornamental trees, the biggest selection of roses I've ever seen, flowers, etc. Here's what sold me and I probably won't go any where else from now on-they had a variety of each type of plant. So I wanted Rosemary. And they had like four (at least) different varieties with signs describing each type. Never have I seen that before. Same with the lavender. More than one or just two types. The vegetables looked great, lots of choices once again, and I can't wait to start my veggies. There was staff all around and it wasn't as crazy and chaotic as Millberger's can get. All in all a wonderful place. Oh and I didn't think the prices were that high, but I may be used to higher prices so I'm not sure what's the norm in San Antonio. read more

My only complaint is you aren't closer to Boerne. Great selection, good customer service. Keep Kathy no matter what! She is a jewel of knowledge there. read more

The atmosphere at Rainbow Gardens makes me want to be an avid gardener, though I really am working at reforming my black thumb. They have an enormous variety of plants and even have ready-to-purchase fairy gardens. I've been taking my kid there for years (it's like a free botanical garden), but just recently started gardening myself. My only criticism is the price, but as a previous reviewer noted, their late spring "Rainbow bucks" promotion is very nice. I used it to get pots, which never appear to be on sale. read more

Love this place! George has great gardening advice. Great selection! Much friendlier than Milberger's.

Very rude staff. The plants are pretty but if you're treated rudely, it's not worth it. So disappointing..I will go elsewhere next time.

i was on the hunt for an amaryllis bulb and i found this place via yelp. i called ahead and the woman who answered looked to make sure they had some in stock. they did and i went right down. there's a big sign outside so you won't miss it. large parking lot and it was pretty empty. i walked around the inside by the cashier but didn't see the bulbs. i walked outside and wandered a little looking for the bulbs and seeing what they have. i walked by at least 3 employees and none of them asked if i needed help so i found an employee to ask where the bulbs were. she pointed and said they were on the floor so finally i found them. i thought they were a little pricey but i was desperate. it was nice to have clear jars to put the bulb in so i was set. gave this place 3 stars since no one offered help and options were very sparse. read more

Great / fun place to find everything your yard & garden needs. Skip the big corporate sellers and explore Rainbow Gardens. Also a very helpful Facebook page & website (with a great ongoing blog:). read more

Huge selection of plants. Offers a lot of variety with an emphasis on plants that are native or at least very well suited to Texas. Did I mention how huge it is? They have lots of veggies in addition to landscaping and ornamental plants. Much better selection than the corporate DIY home improvement stores. read more
