Navlet’s Garden Centers

Glad to hear that Sloats is taking over Navlets. I hope they either close the Concord store, or start with a brand new staff. Worst customer service ever. Haven’t been there in over a year because of it. A couple of the gals in the garden have such attitudes, and the blonde head cashier is incredibly rude. One of the managers is very sarcastic, and can be humiliating with her comments.
I hope Sloats does some major house cleaning!

Amazing Service, great inventory… got everything I needed especially top notch knowledge!
Just purchased a home with a full Garden of Eden needing to be tamed, a side fence overgrown with something green, a tree needing a transplant, something called «scale» and ab-​so-​lute-​ly no knowledge… zip…none…nada !!
Took my box/​bag of 16+ greenery samples to Susie along with a map of the yard, some photos on my phone and a hired hand complete with a chain saw expected tomorrow!
Help Me !!
Susie listened and laughed with me, she identified all but two plants (who knew there was such a thing as a Butterfly Bush?), provided detailed cutting/​care notes for each, then walked me through a plan. She even labelled my cuttings so I could start my hand’s on learning tomorrow.
We chose tools, gloves and a pair of very cool plastic pick-​up aids called «Helping Hands.»
I was worried I was so far out of my arena of knowledge that I’d have to just give up and hire a gardener. Now, with some knowledge, a plan, some tools and this great store just a three-​minute drive away; I’m set. I’ll return for something to «ward off the evil scale» and some nifty clay watering devices that will put my empty wine bottles to good use.
A great resource! I’m sold !!
Kudos to Marsha who identified the butterfly bush!! garden shop Unilocal

They sold me pole bean seedlings with leaf curl. Shady business: (
The squash had mold too.
The tomato’s doing well

The GM handled this situation personally when she became aware of it. She was exceptionally apologetic, and personally took care of my issue. This is exactly the kind of place I want to shop. It is now evident that they have a passion and love for what they do, and take great pride in it. This is where your drought-​resistant plants need to be purchased.

Came in here on Tuesday, July 15^th, just after the store opened, with my list of questions. Marsha was super helpful and knowledgeable. In addition to answering all my questions about certain plants/​trees, she told me about their Plan Scape (sp?) deal, which I hadn’t known about. Fully expect to utilize this very soon!
Thanks Marsha!

I’ve got some plants for my house and i wasn’t aware of the lifetime warranty until one of the employees told me about it and now i got an exchange and i’m as happy as i could be, thank you guys for all your help and good advice on my gardening adventure. Love it!!!

Wow… I expected they’d be a little more expensive but wow… and the customer service… one work… sucks…I would have only given them 1 star but they had a nice location… again I was expecting different from the big box but the service I got was even below what I received at Lowes and Home depot… very disappointed as it’s only about ¼ mile from my house

First of all Navlet’s Garden Centers guarantee any plant or item you purchase from them. Many a time I have killed a plant and returned it for a new one. My green thumb notoriety is promoted by their easy return policy. One item I purchased form them is a watering device that fails every couple of months. Navlet’s replaces it every time. They have a wonderful selection of pre-​bonsai, vegetables, flowers and containerized plants. One new item they added last year is their FoxFarm Soil. This soil far exceeds most other soils sold by garden centers. Usually 16 bucks a bag, Navlet’s sells it for under 15. Their pottery is a little pricey but I usually wait till they have a sale to purchase from them. They stock organic pesticides and have a help desk to identify disease and bugs. They almost always have a solution to your problem.

Perfect place to take a bit of plant in to get identified or to be diagnosed with some dreaded disease. The tomato plants I bought there are growing great. Their supply of organic fertilizer is great. Some days I just go in to buy one annual to brighten up a pot and before I know it, an hour of time has evaporated.

Not sure if this is new… but Navlet’s is closed on Tuesdays. Looks like all of their stores are. Went to go and buy some fertilizer yesterday and had to go to Orchard Supply instead. Still, Navlet’s is my go to spot for all things garden related. If you want to garden and need information about plants or ever have any questions… go to Navlet’s! Other places just aren’t as helpful or knowledgeable.

Great place to get all your gardening items. We come here often to get different herbs, vegetable plants, fruit trees, and flowers for our garden. They have a great variety and everything is healthy. They are very knowledgable here so if you have problems with your plants, you can bring in just a leaf or part of your plant and they just know whats wrong. It is a little pricier than Home Depot or Osh but the customer service and quality of plants are way better here.

I love going to Navlets, they are extremely helpful when one has a question. I have found that this store is always extremely clean, happy, and sell other items besides plants.

Very helpful! nice location! Friendly service!

OKay, so they have this halloween promotion where you bring your child and they receive a free pumpkin and carving kit. They carve the pumpkins there. Very nice of them and great for the community. They advertise that it will be from 1 to 3 while supplies last. Well, supplies only lasted 20 minutes. And, when we got there, a girlscout troop had shown up but were minus 3 girls, so when we asked if we could take the 3 spots, we were told, «No, that wouldn’t be fair to the people we’ve already turned away.» Okkayyy, makes a lot of sense… not. AND, the girl with the clipboard was incredibly rude. If I’ve never purchased anything from Navlet’s, I wouldn’t be so upset about their lack of planning, but I spend lots of money there. Next time, Navlet’s, be prepared when you advertise something! Especially when there are kids involved.

Not a great place to go when it’s the peak of allergy season! The store does however offer a lot of variety in different flowers, trees, shrubs and fruit/​vegetables. The sales associate that helped us was very knowledgable about tomatoes and pepper plants and the best varieties and types of them. The prices aren’t that bad either. There is also a big selection of different plant foods and soils and other items for your garden.

I went here with my husband looking for plants for our back yard, including trees, shrubs, etc. Their customer service was mediocre at best, and they don’t deliver (how exactly does one transport a cherry blossom tree?) Their selection was also fairly small compared to the big storefront. We live in Oakland so it certainly wasn’t worth the drive.
