I'm very happy with the plants I brought home, and it's clear they carry a wider variety than many local nurseries. That said, my customer service experience was mixed, and it left me unsure about whether I'd go back. Some of the pricing felt a bit high compared with other places I've shopped. I also had an interaction with an employee that felt more pushy than helpful. I asked about a smaller Queensland bottle tree, but since they didn't have one in stock, he kept suggesting a money tree instead. I explained that I wasn't interested and had already seen similar money trees elsewhere for much less, but the conversation continued longer than I was comfortable with. At checkout, I also had an awkward moment regarding the Descanso Gardens membership discount. I showed an email addressed to me confirming my membership, but was told they needed the actual membership number. I understand that stores have policies, but the interaction could have been handled in a friendlier, more flexible way. Overall, I love what I purchased, and the nursery is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for variety. However, if you're looking for something specific, I'd recommend calling in advance to confirm availability before making the trip. Between the higher pricing and my customer service experience, I'd be hesitant to spend money there again unless I knew exactly what I was looking for and felt the price was worth it.

We found the Winter Gem Boxwood (WGB) at another nursery, but they only had a few and their condition was so-so. Called Christina asked her if she had them. They weren't at her location, but had a truckload of plants coming in the next day. And, lucky for us we were able to buy them the next day as she promised. Her worker Jose was also very patient, helpful and friendly. Great people, healthy plants/trees/succulents and very affordable prices, especially cause we're retired and on a fixed income. If we need to spruce up our garden more, we will definitely be going back to Carreon Nursery. Note: It's a hidden gem, located in the residential area of San Gabriel/Rosemead area.

The original owners are now long gone, but Mike has continued running the business in the same style and fashion as the original owners. Mike is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The company doesn't need to advertise; his customers' good words does that. If Mike doesn't have what you need, he can get it for you or send you to another nursery. The nursery is not a retail establishment; however, if you are planning to redo your yard and need a lot of plants, you can send your landscaper to Sakaida and Mike will work with him, or you. Or if you want a couple of big trees. If you want just a few plants, go to San Gabriel Nursery; they are a great outfit. Sure, you can get plants cheaper at Home Depot, but their sales people aren't nurserymen and they really don't know anything about plants, soils, fertilizer, growing seasons, watering, etc. If you want to buy a tree, Mike is going to ask "Where are you going to plant it?" I was going to buy a couple of large mulberry trees and plant them in the front yard and he warned: "Don't plant it near the driveway or sidewalk...as it gets older, it is going to raise them!" Mike saved me from a disaster. You won't get this kind of advice at Home Depot.

When we arrived, we realized we went to the wrong location (our first visit to Mimosa Nursery was somewhere else apparently!) But we still found what we needed. It was a little hard to find at first, so when you arrive, you might not really see the entrance, so I'll attach photos of what to look for. We were the only ones there, got help when we needed it, and found what we were looking for. It's self-guided; no one greeted us or spoke to us until we needed someone to talk to. The people we were speaking with were knowledgeable about their plants and helpful in packing it so dirt wouldn't fall out. Super easy for us to get in & get out, and I'm sure we'll be coming back again for more!

Audel suggested a liner that prevents weeds from proliferating as well. It turns out Hubby has a roll in the back of our truck.
