Beautiful grounds and display! We came to browse and really enjoyed our time here. They have sections for different types of plants, low water and flowering and edible. There is even a water section with a cute pond. The staff was helpful and showed us around. The prices are a bit high. I will be returning to find special plants for my home.

The folks over at Rillito Nursery are totally Awesome to work with. Their facility, their friendliness, expertise and selection of trees, plants, herbs and vegetables are all top notch. Additionally, we paid extra to have their team both deliver and install our 7 new fruit trees at our home here in Tucson. Their team of Ken and Karl were so amazing that we had them back out a second time a month later to plant 2 additional tree species for us! If you would like to work with a great team on your soft scape purchase and possible planting, look no further than the Fantastic Team of Rillito Nursery.

I was bored and I wanted to add some flowers to my front yard. And I set my eyes on a rosebush that I really wanted. I asked the employee what suggestions and who what favorites they had for roses and the colors. I ended up getting the peachy red tone kind of rose. I also ended up browsing and looking around at the other plants just to see if there was anything else that could catch my eye. But it was overwhelming to see so many plants in one little location. Not in a bad way though. I just didn't really think there would be that many plants of all kinds of varieties. And I thought it was really awesome to see all that as much as I would love to take them all home with me. I end up settling for this one little rose bush. And it's been a couple months now. And the bushes been growing fantastically it's been budding. It's also shown several roses on it. So it's really pretty to see it grow big healthy. I would definitely recommend this place. They have a really good variety of plants and roses and flowers to choose from.

Wonderful selection of healthy beautiful plants, obviously many of the plants are meant for the heat! The prices here are affordable and have way more variety in unique species than that of the local home depot and lowes! I will be back for more plants of my own later this week!

I stopped by here with some photos of my struggling plants, and their master gardener was able to help me figure out what was wrong with each plant. She recommended some great books too, since I'm new in town. I purchased some local honey they had for sale too!

I went to Rillito Nursery today to pick up some trees I got through a TEP program The "help" were so VERY RUDE I did not get the dirt I needed to plant them. When I told them I was there to pick up my trees the woman actually ROLLED HER EYES AT ME IN DISGUST. I have no idea what they have experienced, but I certainly did not deserve that treatment. I did decide to grab a few plants that looked interesting and again, was treated so very rudely I said something under my breath I was so shocked at it. I put the plants I had bought on a tray at the checkout and the woman snidely asked "Do you want A BAG for those? They were trailing vines, and actually, no, I would have preferred a tray... I am obviously disabled as I have my service dog with me always, you would think by her attitude that those plastic trays actually cost the nursery something, and I know for a fact they don't. Both the rude and nasty and demeaning women were working in the S building of the nursery today March 22nd. Just in case the owner cares how the customers are being treated. I will NEVER return. I am always treated kindly at the Home Depot on N Oracle at La Reserve. I plant a LOT of things and Rillito Nursery lost a big bunch of business from me, that is a fact. (I did stop at Home Depot for $70 worth of planting soil after picking up my trees)If I could give Rillito Nursery NEGATIVE stars I would. Even the voice mail I was left letting me know my trees were available was rude!!They need to suck it up and treat people like human beings. Of course, I was dressed to work outside, and perhaps that equated being "poor" to those people. I noticed little old retired looking ladies being treated with less nastiness than I was. I am offended completely and will tell everyone I know not to give them any business. I should have spit on the pavement when I left, and I never do that. I like to think I am kind and gracious to all people I meet in the course of the day. I was even kind to the RUDE WOMEN who "helped me", but it was a stretch. They should also realize they never know when a Yelp reviewer might be visiting their business for the first (and last) time.

This review is for customer service on a recent transaction. Rillito has great plants, but they need to up their game in advising their customers on options. This applies to the daughter of the owners with whom we dealt. We were considering two options: either trying to revive a bug-infested and stressed plant (purchased last year from Rillito) or buying a new one and having them install. We needed it installed before we left town for the holidays. The first problem was that she said she wouldn't tell us if installation was available until we bought the plant. Obviously, we wouldn't be buying the plant unless it could be installed by the date we needed. After several go-rounds, the owner overheard, intervened, and found a way for us to be fit into their tight schedule, which we very much appreciated. At that point, however, no costs had been quoted. The original salesperson began to ring up the sale, and the total was twice as high as we had imagined - $240 on a $50 plant. We had about 10 seconds to make a decision. We went for it, but then learned we ourselves would have to remove the old plant that's diseased.Instead of being a fun outing making decisions about our landscape, it turned into a rushed and stressful time with not enough conversation and advice to make a good decision. When we got home and had time to think about it, we realized we're not able to get the old plant out in the next couple days, the cost is too high, and we should wait until we buy more plants to make it cost-effective. We were disappointed they insisted on charging us a cancellation fee, though that is not our main concern.There is a higher standard for customer service today than in the past. Rillito is a great family-owned nursery but they need to figure out better ways of truly serving us customers who want to do business with them.

I support small businesses and have always enjoyed the selection at Rillito Nursery. So I'm extremely disappointed that the staff do not wear face masks at the cash register, where it is not possible to social distance. I stayed several feet away from the cashier, but I shared with her that my husband has an immune deficiency and asked if she would mind putting a mask on just to check me out. She replied, no she would not. So I chose to leave without making my purchase, instead of proceeding with a needless risky interaction.I'm actually more than disappointed. I'm deeply saddened to have had this pointedly uncaring experience.
