This place is amazing. Such a great selection of everything you need for your yard. They have everything from fruits and veggies to succulents, tropicals, water, house, bedding, exotic, orchids and even bonsai and stag-horn ferns. I’m sure I am missing some. Also pots, soil mulch, bird and hummingbird feeders, owl boxes and yard decorations. The variety isn’t what makes them so good, it is their people. Everyone is so nice and very helpful, they make you want to drive the extra mile. Pass by that Lowe’s with the same old plants and head to a local nursery that cares and has a great selection.

Beautiful, expansive nursery with a unique selection of plants, veggies, and flowers that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Very friendly and helpful staff too, and the best seed selection in town inside

Pretty cool that this place is a lush, colorful oasis tucked away in a typical industrial area. For all that, I found it a little hard to find but you'll figure it out. The small-ish parking lot was full on a Friday afternoon but spaces open up frequently. I found the nursery to be way more colorful, large and impressive than expected. Selection is wide, especially for subtropical fruit trees and shrubs. They also have a good selection of native plants and vegetable plants but their bread and butter seems to be colorful flowering plants. Prices are competitive with other independent nurseries. Plants were well-tended and groomed. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was clean.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Delia Bejarano | May 21, 2022

Not sure if they have it now, but the scientific name of the plant is probably Brunfelsia pauciflora. Or at least something from that genus. Hopefully that helps in the search.

I found large, white grubs in the soil of our potted lime tree. There were only four that we could find, but we a little freaked out anyway. None appear to be in the lemon or pomelo. What the heck are they?

Tony Bartosik | Aug 19, 2020

Hi Tony, the answers you'll likely receive here will be from people who are customers, but not employees. You will have much better luck calling the nursery on the phone.

Do you have scented geranium

Miriam O Romo | Aug 19, 2020
Louise Thompson | Aug 19, 2020

I shop here, they have some scented geraniums, not a large selection. There is a mail order herb seller called Richters, in Canada, from which I buy scented geraniums. They sell dozens of varieties, their Fingerbowl Lemon is out of this world, and they have a few rose scented that are wonderful. Their online catalog includes photos and full descriptions.

Do you sell and deliver topsoil? about 2 cu yards.

David Gregory | Aug 20, 2019
Walter Andersen Nursery | Aug 20, 2019

We can arrange that but it would be in 1 cuft bags. If you check with A-1 Soil in Carroll Canyon you may find that buying it in bags is the cheaper way to go as their minimum delivery charge is $108 and from their Carroll Canyon Yard on Camino Santa Fe off Miramar Rd the fee to deliver to Poway is $191. We deliver for free with a minimum order depending on how close you are to the store. If you call our San Diego store they would be happy to quote you a delivered price on 54 cuft of soil (2 yards). They can be reached at 619-224-8271.

I have been to the store twice looking for Brandy Wine tomatoes. Why is the best heirloom tomato in the country not on the shelves.

linda humphreys | Aug 20, 2018
Randy Coleman | Aug 20, 2018

They had Brandy Wine a couple weeks ago. Maybe they're waiting for the next shipment. I would not call Brandy Wine the best heirloom in the country. There are a lot of heirlooms you can try

Do you have Twilight Zone Grandflora Rose

Christina Haverty | Aug 20, 2018
Walter Andersen Nursery | Aug 20, 2018

Thanks for writing, we are sold out of Twilight Zone in both stores for this season and I would not expect more until bare root season next year - late December early January. If you need one right away I would try Kniffings Nursery in El Cajon, they tend to stock more roses year round than other nurseries do. Ken Andersen

Do you have a Whitle Gem Magnolia?

Larry & Emilee Watts | Aug 20, 2018
Walter Andersen Nursery | Aug 20, 2018

Thanks for writing. The only Magnolias we have in stock at this time are Little Gem Dwarf Southern Magnolias. The supply on Magnolias is extremely tight right now. We were not expecting any until late summer or fall as the growers have sold out of available crops. The few that we did get were from canceled orders that were then funneled to us. Once these are gone I do not know when more will be available. Ken Andersen
