The Most Flavorful Nurseries & Gardening in Fresno

Nee-Hai Bonsai

★★★★★ 4.5 (19) • $

"I stopped in hoping I could find a good book for a beginner. The owner is so warm and friendly that I spent a good hour chatting about all sorts of things. When I left, I had the book I'd been hoping for as well as a couple of succulents, some rock, and a brand new pot. If it hadn't been such a hot day I could have easily spent more time ( and more money) there. Looking forward to going back for supplies once I finish the book so I can get started on my own little tree in a pot."

Fernwood Gardens

★★★★☆ 4 (7)

"Fernwood gardens is a unique nursery that also sells vintage signs, decor etc. The gardens have started doing small food truck events there as well. The local Grayview brewing was at the Madera animal charity event the gardens hosted and a local taco shop -just check there social media for upcoming event info. Most everything you see hanging is for sale. The woman who owns and runs the gardens has always been helpful, nice and is very knowledgeable about the plants she sells. Her husband is the collector and you can find his picks of vintage goods placed throughout, if you see something you like there should be a price tag or they have a price list too -just ask for help. Staff here are very helpful too, the gardens are setup nicely and is full of plants and trees not commonly found at most local home improvement chains. You can find a variety of trees that are not the usual like chocolate persimmon trees, a good variety of cactuses all sizes. The selection of trees are one of my favorite things. I definitely would recommend this place to our community.."

Intermountain Nursery

★★★★★ 4.9 (10) • $

"Tucked into a bend of n the road where highway 168 meets Auberry Road this family run business has the best plants trees and bushes you'll ever plant. If you live in the hills this is your locally owned nursery. Crazy Bernie is not just their neighbor, I'm a customer and one of their biggest fans!"

Gazebo Gardens

★★★★☆ 4.2 (139) • $

"I came for a plant but also I was curious about the beer garden and planned to stay for that as well. We were immediately greeted by a young man that asked if we needed help and told me the hours of the gift shop and nursery. He also mentioned the beer garden with live music and food trucks. The nursery is really nice to walk through. I loved that they also have fresh herb plants to buy and they had more than 4 variations of mint plants. I had no idea there was even such a thing as "orange mint". I chose my plant and then another staff member told me about the type of plant I had and best way to care for it. He said that I could put the plant up at their register and I could pick it up on my way out after starting for the beer garden. The beer garden was so much fun! They have it Thurs-sat from 5:30-9:00pm. There were several food trucks that offered different types of food from burgers, bbq, Asian foods, ice cream and pies! The bar serves only beer, seltzers and ciders (no wine), sodas and bottles of water. The live band started playing at 6:00pm. People were dancing, eating, socializing and just having a good time. There are plenty of picnic tables for seating but I did notice the later you arrive the picnic tables closest to the band fill up faster. There are also plenty of tables out by the food trucks and they are a bit farther from the music so if you want to get away from the music a bit, there is that. It is such a great vibe to feel part of the Fresno community where families, friends and even singles can just come relax and enjoy some fresh air."

Western Sierra Nursery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (20) • $$$

"This is a fabulous nursery - in the last six months I have purchased: mulch, deer resistant pellets (to keep deer from eating my plants), gifts for Christmas, Christmas ornaments and a Christmas tree. The service is also friendly, helpful, but not obtrusive. I am so glad this business is in Oakhurst. We plan to buy some deer resistant plants in the spring. Also, there is at least one nursery cat, which is always fun."

Lotus Gardens Outdoor Living Center

★★★★★ 4.5 (34) • $$

"I had no idea Lotus garden nursery was a literally down the street from my house. I went in for advice on my grass and for assistance to help me because it seems to be dying even though I water it all the time, on my water days of course. After I received advise on my grass, I asked about different trees that I could plant in my front yard. I don't have a large front yard and I needed some thing that had a non-invasive roots. The entire time I was there I was given such wonderful advice and such great suggestions on trees that have non-invasive roots that will not overpower my yard or grow around my water pipes.As soon as I walked in the lotus gardens, I felt so relaxed. It is such a wonderful place to walk around and to shop. The employees are so helpful and so nice. I wish I would've known they were there a long time ago. I will totally be visiting again in the near future. If you have it, then you're really missing out on a little hidden gem ."

Willow Gardens Nursery

★★★★☆ 3.6 (57) • $$

"I called to ask if they had a vine I needed. They did. A staff member brought one up front so it would be ready on my arrival.The gentleman that helped me load it into my vehicle filled me with in depth insights about this particular vine.I paid about half of what Lowes, Home Depot or Ace charge for a similar 5 gallon plant.Willow Gardens Nursery has a huge inventory and I can see myself shopping for plants with them again soon."

Riverside Nursery and Landscape Supplies

★★★★☆ 4.2 (34) • $$

"Love going to Riverside Nursery and Landscape. It's so fun to walk around and explore while picking out gorgeous plants for your yard / home. It's open to the public, the staff is very gracious and helpful. It's a huge open space so it's safe to walk and explore with Covid. It's really fun! Go check it out!"

Belmont Nursery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (117) • $$

"The dude and I went to The Belmont Nursery on 7/30/22. It was the dudes and I first time here. We arrived and found parking so easily. We were shocked of how HUGE this place was and had fun exploring this place. The Nursery was filled with so many goodies! I love that they have a station where you can build your own plant bundle which is pretty cool! I loved all the flowers were beautiful but expensive at the same time. We stumbled upon a Welcome wooden plant holder for a reasonable price and I fell in LOVE with it! Absolutely beautiful. I got it and it has beautiful plants in it as we speak! Couldn't be more thrilled about it.Staff was friendly but busy watering plants and tidying up. They have really cute garden decor here which I am coming to come back to decorate for Fall Season as this was my summer season trip.Great place to get all your plant needs done, even for gifts too or something special! Definitely coming back in a heart beat!"

Let it Grow Fresno

★★★★★ 4.9 (9) • $$

"Came for Fresno Made! Not a big nursery and very easy to miss on shields Ave. you turn a corner onto a residential street and the parking lot is adjacent to the alley. It's like you're walking in to someone's house. The owner is super nice and helpful if you need any particulars. There are 3 rooms with varied plant species. I decided to go for a small Calathea Makoyana. She gave me a lot of info and even wrote down a helpful card with care tips. Since I was there for Fresno Made, I received a free bottle of "Joyful Dirt" which was awesome because I needed to fertilize all my house plants! If you're a plant lover, it's worth checking out :)"

Kileen's Succulent Vertical Gardens

★★★★★ 4.9 (12)

"This is a unique gift idea or a great decoration for the house! We seen them in apple hill and it was my pleasure buying an outline of California (The State I Love) with succulents filling the inside. Definitely a nice addition to the home. The girl that was assisting us was very nice and helpful. Answering all of my questions. Now this beautiful piece is hanging on my wall, for the most part succulents are pretty easy to maintain so I should be enjoying this for a very long time. They have a wide range of ideas and gifts as well. I would definitely look at there website."

Sago Rey Palms

★★★★★ 4.5 (16) • $$

"Love this place! We were landscaping our backyard, wanted to make it tropical and stopped to check this place out. Sago Reys is a family run business with a TON of plants to choose from.We were greeted on Saturday by Martin, one of their sons who spent an hour showing us a number of different plants and trees. He even pulled some out to show us how we could set them up in the yard. Super nice and super knowledgeable. We brought about 20 plants home.Then we went back this past Tuesday to get a few more, were greeted by the owner, Maria who helped hand select 4 Queen palms. Not only were these 4 feet taller than the ones we bought at Home Depot (before we knew about this place), but were $5 less per tree. Honestly wish I had another yard to landscape so I could give them more business, though we may go back for some house plants. Family run business with a son serving our country. Why wouldn't you want to give them your business?"

Mountain Feed & Nursery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"I love this place. Been getting my bird food & cob for my deer for a few years now. The guys here are friendly, funny & helpful.I love the doggy, the kitties & little chicks in the store, too!It helps that the location is so convenient right off 41 on the way to/from Oakhurst & close to the P.O. in Coarsegold.Wouldn't think of going anywhere else! Looking forward to getting some trees & plants here in the spring!"

Sugar's Succulents

★★★★★ 5 (12)

"Great selection of succulents and cacti! Saw some rare plants too, or at least rare to me, as I hadn't seen them before. The owner is knowledgeable and very helpful. She says they get new plants in every month. They had a Sip & Shop event there recently. I was told they have different events and workshops there, but I think more in the summer. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this place before. They weren't listed on Yelp yet. I recommend you check it out"

Stepping Stone Nursery

★★★★★ 4.8 (23) • $

"Tom Jr helped me out, he was so nice and knowledgeable. Not only did he suggest plants but he showed me multiple suggestions for different areas. There is a gazebo area which has lots of full grown plants to look at. I would recommend bringing in a picture of your yard and size of flower bed when coming to the nursery"

★★★★☆ 3.8 (9)

"Changing owners was the best thing to happen! Brad is so pleasant to work with! Always a smile on his face and so very helpful. We appreciate the wonderful service! Thank you!"

Fresno Ag Hardware

★★★★☆ 4.1 (138) • $$

"Staff are really nice and very helpful here! They didn't even make me feel dumb when I was asking for a few products and suggestions for my home projects that I'm currently working on. They never made me feel like I couldn't do my project because I am a woman. I got everything that I needed here compared to the bigger hardware stores. Most of the time at the bigger hardware stores, some employees do not know how to help me and really could care less to help me find what I need. Which then leaves me frustrated a lot of the time. Glad I made a stop here today. I feel very accomplished in my progress with my project. Can't wait until the next home improvement."

Duarte Nursery

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (16) • $

"Wow, very impressed by the selection in the Poinsettia greenhouse-- in fact, I never knew there were so many different colors and varieties! It was nice and warm inside with little wagons provided for ease of browsing. They also had many arrangements in cute ceramic pots or decorative wood crates and metal sculptures. Rows upon rows of elegant poinsettias! The standard versions were a reasonable $10. The fancier arrangements were in the $30-60 range, with some of the grandest ones at $100. There is a bathroom for customers, as well as free butter cookies and hot apple cider.Be warned, they only accept cash or personal check!"

Rosenbalm Rockery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (43) • $

"I've only been here one time but it was memorable. It's easily accessible and has plenty of parking. They have friendly staff and truly a huge selection. I did not make a purchase because I am still u decided on what I'm doing in my yard but I'd definitely go back."

Reclaimed Mt Goods

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Such a hidden gem just off the highway 41!! Instantly welcomed to the store as I entered. There is a wonderful assortment of vintage home goods: dining table, chairs, sofas, artwork.. not the mention clothing! All in all, such a great store with so many good finds!"

Peters Brothers Nursery

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (23) • $$

"Having moved to CA from CO two years ago, I'm still learning a lot about the growing season here and the staff at Peters has been phenomenal in helping me. Today I bought a fig tree (soon to be a Christmas Fig Tree but will end up being planted in the garden). Here's the thing. The staff took time to help me find and select the fig tree that was "just right" for our family. Plus, the staff provided helpful suggestion for planting the tree, as well as fertilizing strategies for my cold crops currently growing. The staff took care to cover the base of the tree before loading into my SUV so that it didn't get too dirty. Trust me, it's the little things that matter in business and in life. I will continue to do business with Peters Brothers Nursery!"

Asio Verde

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"The best plant store in the valley! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a wide selection of house plants, succulents, and exotic plants! They also feature local artist items which is a plus when visiting this cute place!"

Evergreen Garden Center

★★★★☆ 4.3 (141) • $$

"This locally owned nursery is amazing! I've driven past here about five different times and each time I keep telling myself to stop and literally smell the roses. Well, I finally did that yesterday and I'm so glad I did. This nursery has everything from outdoor plants to indoor plants, tons of flower options, a large selection of succulents, trees, both fruit tree and evergreen, and even an ugly plant section for the budget conscience gardener. The staff here is super knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions you have. They have a large selection of pots and other garden decorations, including a life-size metal cut out a big foot and 6 foot tall mushrooms. I will definitely be back to get more houseplants and to enjoy the calm vibes of the Evergreen Garden Center."

The Greenery Nursery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (36) • $$$

"The best place in Turlock to purchase plants for your home and yard, fact! My husband and I wanted to plant an herb garden and decided to ask the experts which herbs would grow best in our yard. We spoke with one of the knowledgeable employees and selected a variety of herbs for our garden. Basil, rosemary, sage, and thyme plants were our choices. The plants thrived in our herb garden and provided plenty of fresh herbs for our cooking needs. We will definitely return in the spring to purchase more plants for our next landscaping project!"

Merced Gardens and Nursery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (28) • $

"The selection at this nursery is superior to everything I've seen in Merced county. The strawberries I got last year are still going strong this year. They have many varieties of herbs, vegetables and citrus. I got 2 different types of eggplant, 3 different pepper plants, soybeans, and another type of been. I got Thai basil. They had so many different types of limes and citrus that it was hard to make up my mind. I only had one place ready for a new tree. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to come back!"
