Now I understand the negative reviews.
I called about a problem I am having with what I think are rats eating my geraniums and they told me to bring in a cutting and to take pictures. They DID NOT tell me to put the cutting in a bag (which I completely understand so that I don't bring "anything" in). I walk in and both the husband and wife literally started yelling at me to stop where I was and wouldn't stop yelling even after I asked them to. I was only walking up to the counter which is right when you walk in. I also said I'd go back to my car to get a bag and they said no, I didn't need to. Apparently there is something on the door also that says to put cuttings in a bag but there is so much junk on the door, I didn't even pay attention to that. If I'm honest, while they were yelling at me, I said "now I understand the bad reviews". So needless to say we did not get off to a good start. You couldn't pay me to go back there even if they were the best nursery on the planet. They are rudest people I have encountered in a very long time.

The best nursery in the area! Plenty of options and amazing prices. They have herbs, flowers, roses, fruit trees, and more! They also have a greenhouse room with a ton of indoor plants. Highly recommended to everyone. It is a family run business and they are always so happy and helpful, and most importantly extremely knowledgeable. There is also a cute cat that likes to say hello, so no dogs allowed. Do your nursery shopping here!

The staff was very knowledgeable and honest when I inquired about fungus gnat treatment. I originally went in to purchase a pouch of nematodes to help with my gnat problem. They had them in stock, but the man at the counter suggested I come back in a few weeks as they would have a new batch on hand which may prove to be more effective (nematodes have a very short shelf life). He then pointed me to another (and cheaper) product which I told him I had been using. He asked a few questions and determined that I have been using the product incorrectly. He walked me through the best way to use it and recommended that if I’m still having a gnat issue in a few weeks to then come back for the nematodes. No upselling or condescension, just friendly help. I’ll be coming back.

They really hate dogs here for some reason. I was asked to exit the store with my on-leash dogs so I said OK & went outside to the nursery area to wait for my wife who was still inside. The male proprietor then came outside and told me I had to leave the entire property and told me I should have obeyed the sign on the main gate, which I had not noticed on my way in (dogs are normally welcome at outdoor nurseries in the area). I then went and stood on the street with my dogs, where there was no shade, and called my wife so we could leave. The kicker for me was that when I asked the proprietor if he had the edging product I came to buy, he said yes, but that I still needed to leave the property immediately. I really don’t get it. There was another customer who was carrying her dog and for some reason she was allowed to stay on the premises. No explanation was given. I found the whole experience unpleasant and uncomfortable. We live just 1/2 a mile away and have a large garden. It’s unfortunate, but we won’t be going back.

Oh my gosh, going to this garden center was such a wonderful experience. I went in with a few questions which they happily helped me with! Then they showed me where the items on my list were located, and helped me with everything! So knowledgeable and such a wonderful environment! And they have a shop cat who was sleeping on his perch! So adorable! They also help load in heavy bags of soil to your car for you! I am definitely coming back here anytime I have a garden need! I got basil, parsley, and a tomato plant!

Meh. Not a fan and don’t understand the appeal. Do they have a wide variety of plants? Yes. It just feels disorganized and a bit messy. Prices seemed fair.

Love this place, family owned and operated. Knowledgeable, super friendly! Good selection, great prices, neighborhood feel, hope it stays here forever!

Very knowledgeable! The owner knew exactly what pest I had and how to treat it. I took a leaf in a zip lock bag to him and he knew immediately what it was.

This place has the feel of a nursery that's been in business for many years. Not so neat and tidy, but an excellent selection of plants and vegetables. Houseplants too.

A great nursery in North Hollywood.
