Rehm’s Nursery & Garden Center

This place was SO cute and awesome! They have the widest variety of succulents that I’ve seen here in Albuquerque.

It’s that time of year again to plant some beautiful plants, trees or vegetables. Make sure to support your local businesses when your searching for landscaping options.
Rehms’s is definitely my nursery of choice! Go local!

Rehms is a wonderful nursery and the plant quality is superior compared to big box stores. Most impressive is the staff. I have never been there and not been asked several times if I needed help. And they are all extremely knowledgable… even the younger people that work there. It’s not just a job to them, they are well trained in gardening and what will work in the climate and what won’t. You will not get that knowledge at the box stores. Also compared to other nurseries in town it is smaller, however they usually have what I am looking for and again, even the other local nurseries do not have friendly staff. Also, lots of organic supplies. I only wish the staff did house calls to check on the plants and tell me what I’m doing wrong but since they can’t they will answer all your questions over the phone. ;)

I needed an army. I got one. Veni, vidi, vici.
Ladybugs — I’m talking about ladybugs. My garden was being eaten by aphids and I fer sure don’t want to use pesticides (save the bees!), so I called around and Rehm’s was just about the only place left with predators in the fridge. I got my bag full, waited until nightfall, then deployed the ladybug battalion.
So far they are winning.
That’s all I bought, but I can tell you I got an eye full of an absolutely awesome garden center, with all sorts of plants that will thrive in our particular environment. The staff were super helpful, and I saw several customers being given impromptu briefings about soil and water and feeding. That’s the kind of help I appreciate.
Rehm’s is way on the other side of town from me, but next time I need anything plant or garden related, I’m going to head over and support this local, friendly business.
Did I say «save the bees»? Save the Bees!

I have been coming here for decades for gardening and planting supplies, seeds and shrubs. It amazes me what they have here-​the variety is vast. The other part that amazes me is the service and knowledge of the staff. The prices are fair and the products are high quality. Rehm’s is worth the trip and is the best nursery in town.

I am not in Albuquerque, so I called Rehm’s to order a gift to be delivered. I just wish every city had a Rehm’s. I was helped by Don, who helped me choose with his knowledgeable advice. Fair prices, considerate service, and quality products… two (green) thumbs up.

I went in looking for a succulent, unfortunately five minutes before they were about to close. They quickly helped me locate the house plant section. Unfamiliar with the layout, Rehm’s feels like a labyrinth of greenery. I walked out with a small jade plant, which they advised me not to transfer (expert plant advice!), at least not until I saw some roots. Everyone working there was exceptionally kind. Plants reflect the characteristics of their caretakers, making me feel happy about my purchase. I’ll definitely be back to Rehm’s for my future plant needs.

I spent the better part of my teenage years working in a local garden center so you’d think I’d know a thing or two about plants. The truth is, I spent those years trying to catch the eye of my hot coworker and occasionally taking a watering can to a tree or two, so, well, I’m clueless.
The good news is that Rehm’s exists. I went there with the vague idea of getting my dad a tree or something for father’s day and I was overwhelmed by the enormous selection of plants at this place. The roadside storefront looks small but the place goes on for yards and yards. I was immediately helped by a super kind, knowledgeable gentleman who immediately sensed that my thumbs were less than green. He helped me pick out a nice young cherry tree and as he was helping me get it to my car he gave me very, very detailed instructions on how to plant the thing. Here I was thinking you just needed to dig a hole in the ground and plop the the roots in. Wrong. I’m sure he saved me a whole lot of money and the life of at least one tree.
Rehm’s also has an incredible selection of drought tolerant plants, veggies and just about everything else. If you garden, or even think you sort of might want to start gardening, check this place out!

If you are looking for great garden stuff — this is the place.
I used to live in the neighborhood, but still drive across town to get good advice and plants from them. My family calls them «the purple greenhouse» — you will know what I mean when you get there.
