Christina is the best! So easy to work with and does such a great job with my garden. Flexible to work around my schedule. She always has great suggestions for me and answers all my silly gardening questions. Worth the price! More...

I went to Armstrong nursery about some brown spots on my hibiscus plant. I bought a few leaves as samples. I spoke to a man whose shirt said ,"owner". He was at a loss and said, "you're probably watering it too much". I asked a couple of other employees and they went into a little better detail, but I didn't feel like they were quite sure. My husband found The North Park Nursery on the internet and we decided to try it. It's a small place and the girl at the counter was young, so I figured she may not have a better answer than the Armstrong guys. Don't judge a book by its cover! This sweet girl took a good look at the leaves and pointed out dark spots inside of the brown spots. She explained the problem and showed me a spray to help the plant. She explained that it wouldn't change the dots, but it would help prevent more from coming. She even told me how to and how not to apply it. Super helpful. She showed me two bottles and told me the smaller is cheaper so I may want to get that. I didn't. I bought the big bottle. Her explanation made me realize that I can use it for other plants that I own. I was very happy with the customer service and the knowledge of the sales girl. I definitely recommend this cute little small business. So happy with the customer service. More...

Super cute spot with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Pretty decent selection for the size of the store. A little on the pricey side, though with some of the larger plants.

Update* After the business owner left a performative response to my review, he then decided to find my number and call me to talk at me about how he's a black owned business, he's black and has black employees, refused to listen to the feedback he called and claimed he wanted. So unfortunate that he decided to compound the negative experience by harassing me about a legitimate review. I ended up having to disconnect the call. - - - - - - - - Review: I was excited to come into the nursery today to see what kind of selection was available (since they've closed the sister store Eden which had an exceptional selection and customer service to go right along with it)! Unfortunately, to walk into North Park nursery (while Katie and Savannah were at the desk), be stared at, not greeted or asked if I could be helped etc. was a bit uncomfortable. After being in the store 5/10min, I watched every non-person of color be greeted exceptionally well, and I was so disappointed! In addition the plant selection here was minimal, the soil selection was about the only solid thing I noticed here (on this fine Sunday) and prices seemed astronomical. After these observation and type of experience I had, I cannot say I recommend North Park Nursery to any person of color or anyone really. I highly recommend these folks do better moving forward!

I just got breakfast and coffee next door and decided I deserved a plant after a long week (my own version of self care! ). I felt so welcomed and the staff here cares deeply for their costumers and plants. I have worked in retail and customer service for 10 years and understand the balance of managing a store and people at the same time. While Katie and Savannah were busy with a rush of customers, they still smiled and greeted me. I also had specific questions about the best way to care for my bromeliads and Katie answered every question I had. I will absolutely be back because I love to support local businesses, the variety of plants, the option to buy a plant that needs more love at a discount, and how friendly and knowledgeable the staff are. I would recommend this nursery to everyone, it's a hot spot! Thank you Katie and Savannah!! More...

Highly recommend this nursery!! Their plants are beautiful and reasonably priced. The two girls that were working were super friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our shopping experience. Had never been in and were on our way to farmers market hoping to find a praying hands plant for a friend whose mother just passed away. Walked away with exactly what we were looking for and avoided the crowds or a big box chain. Perfect. More...

I had a really pleasant experience at North Park Nursery. I have two plants and know nothing about them. I called and asked if I could bring them in and get some advice. The person on the phone was more than happy to help and encouraged me to come on in whenever. It was my first time at this shop. The location is in a really cool area, and for me parking was easy (on the street). When I arrived an employee greeted me and happily helped me look at my plants and talk me through how I can do better by them. The shop itself is beautiful, with a solid variety of plants, many labeled with the type of lighting they need. There's a section outside as well, which makes the experience very fun. I will admit I know nothing about plant pricing but the prices seemed reasonable to me. All in all, an absolutely beautiful and fun shop, extremely kind and helpful employees, and a fun experience!

SMALL PLANT NURSERYI ain't a plant person. Because the trend today are plants, white furniture/decor, and wood accents around the home but some form of greener could do the soul some good. Looking for a specific mini plant for my new furniture piece - it needs a pop of "life". I had a very specific plant and plant size in mind but unfortunately left this place empty handed. Not by choice, I really wanted to buy from here since I've recommended this place to friends from out of town who have bought here and wanted the same experience... buy from here.Service was very welcoming. The second I walked in I was immediately greeted and was assisted with locating the plant I want. I've been told they had carried it before - so I am hopeful. They have inventory on Tuesdays and have a sister nurseryIn university heights (closed on Mondays).Until next visit... More...

Came in on a Monday morning to re-pot my money tree (Pachira aquatica) after having it for several months and was graciously helped by Audrey. She walked me through her thoughts on the next-sized pot I should go for and even suggested the type of soil that would best suit my plant.They have a potting/re-potting station outside that you could do some DIY for a small fee but you can pay a tad more for them to do it for you. I opted for the experts to help me out and Audrey was kind enough to walk me through the process and re-potted the plant with new soil as well! I had a lot of questions and she took the time to answer them appropriately.North Park Nursey was a very welcoming place and they helped a plant noob like myself learn more about the houseplant journey. All in all, the re-potting guidance and a new ceramic pot came out to around $30 and it was well worth it as I was in and out in less than 15 minutes! I highly recommend North Park Nursery for your everyday houseplant needs! More...

We were looking for large plants and commercial grade installation/care services for our home and hit the jackpot with North Park Nursery. Their decades long business history in SD + the fact that they handle global restaurant giant Tao Group's local portfolio gave me good vibes. Then Googling pics of their new LAVO (Tao's new Downtown SD spot) plant install wowed me. I was even happier to hear how relatively affordable they were. So, we signed up. Had a great design install meeting with manager Michael who offered us plant options for each space based each spaces' varying access to sunlight. The whole experience has been A+.
