Plant Depot

I love going to Plant Depot! The staff is incredibly helpful. There grounds are beautiful with a wide variety of healthy plants to choose from. My garden is gorgeous because of this place. They are the best! more

Plant Depot has good plant selection for a retail non-specialized nursery. Their staff is friendly and helpful, but try to go on a weekday when they have more time to spend with you. Fabulous selection of pots, succulents and vegetables. The gift shop is wonderful, although a bit pricey. I can always find a treat in there for myself or for a gift. Check for their regular coupons. more

Like most of us, it is always hard to get your parents gifts for special occaisions because they seemingly have everything. About 8 years ago, I started a Fathers Day tradition with my 85 year old father that we continue to this day. I pick him up around 9:00 am from his home in Artesia and we travel to the Plant Depot in San Juan Capistrano. We casually walk the grounds, looking for new and exotic plants and color, all the while admiring the beauty of the nursery. Kris, Jen, Brent and Jackie, always make us feel like royalty when we come, by taking time out of their daily duties to show us new hybrids, drought resistant plants, and such. This last time, the girls showed us all the hummingbird nests that were all a buzz during the springtime. This entire process takes around 2 hours and then we then go have some lunch at a nearby eatery and call it a day. My father spent his entire youth raised in the floral industry and is very peticular about where he buys his plant needs. He thoroughly enjoys the splendor of Plant Depot and looks forward to our yearly outing. Thank you Plant Depot for your continued appreciation of our patronage. more

I came in with a long plant list and a significant budget for a large backyard project. Once I found a sales person she actually refused to show me the plants when she discovered I was working with a landscape contractor. She told me she would not show me the plants because Plant Depot made less money when a customer worked with a contractor and it was up to him to spend his time showing me around. I told her I work long hours and have small children and I could not come back another time- I was already spending the precious few saturday hours there, She walked away. I was so shocked I tool my significant list and left. I should have called the manager or sent a letter but I just took my business elsewhere. Too bad- the plants looked nice. more

Well I found this great nursery that even has a gift boutique! They have great plants and a big variety including tropical plants, fruits, palms and more. They are right off the freeway with easy access and I can always find something I like here. The people are helpful and nice and its fun just to walk around and see all of the different plants. more
