Dana Point Nursery

I love Dana Point Nursery! I’ve been coming here for years and especially love the pots, fountains, statuary, and uncommonly seen plants. I have two birds baths from them and a charming stone planter that I converted to a ground level bird bath by using a stopper. I have a very classical looking concrete dog, life sized, that sits by my fence in the backyard appearing to gaze out at the ocean. Interestingly, our own two dogs love to lay near that when they take their sunbaths!
I used to enjoy the parrots in the large aviary, but they are no longer there. However, the meandering koi are tranquil and lovely to see.
Overall, this is the go to place when you are looking for something to set your garden, patio or atrium apart from all of the things that you just see «everywhere».

I Love this nursery. The staff is super friendly and they always take time to answer questions. They are a bit pricey so I normally just buy plants there and try to go to big box stores for soil and pots and whatnot.

I won’t be back. I’ve been buying plants at DP Nursery since 1972. This year I bought several roses. When they bloomed I discovered that one had been mislabled. I just called to ask what they could do. Their solution was for me to dig up the rose and swap it out for the correct variety, if they had it.

Stopped in looking for succulents. Not a huge selection but they look very healthy. They are a bit over priced also.

I’ve never been a «plant» person, but my interior decorator friend convinced me to get rid of my artificial indoor plants and replace them with real living plants. She turned me on to Dana Point Nursery and I couldn’t be happier! Mike delivered two large trees for a high-​ceiling area of my home. He was great and extremely knowledgeable in instructing me on caring for the trees. Over the last couple of months one of the trees has not been thriving and has been losing leaves. We called them and spoke with Kathie, who I think is the owner, and she was extremely helpful and gave us some different things to try. A couple of weeks later, Kathie called us to ask how the tree was doing. Wow! Great customer service! But it gets better! I went into the nursery today and Kathie offered to make a house call! She and Mike came over and inspected the tree and offered more helpful information. They said to give it one more month to determine whether tree can thrive in its less than ideal (not enough sunlight) location. They said to contact them in a month and then we can make decisions then. I hope the tree adjusts to its location and thrives because its beautiful and the height is perfect. None the less, I know I’m in good hands with Dana Point Nursery and will be using them exclusively for my plant needs. I love supporting a small local business. And, I LOVE their small business «above and beyond» customer service!

Neat, organized, and well stocked nursery.

What else can you say about a nursery born in 1947 that has the original sign up and plays 40’s and 50’s music?
It’s a lovely walk into beautiful well kept flowers and little garden trinkets. The koi swim around lazily, in a covered area that houses lovely plants for your shaded areas.
The sunny side calls you with explosions of flowers and varieties not seen at Lowe’s or HD. So they cost just a bit more, however the service and advice is fabulous! My garden always draws raves and I seriously owe it all to them!
Come on people, it’s local, it’s awesome and it’s a must!!! Small businesses need us!

One of our favorite stops when in the Dana Point area… we never leave without buying a lot. For it’s size, which is small, it has more good «stuff» per square inch than any nursery in the area.

Dana Point Nursery is truly a gifted garden shop filled with quality plants with professional and kind staff. It is also an enchanting place to visit and inspire creative ideas for your garden

If you’re looking for a great nursery in south Orange County, this is the place! All the plants and succulents that I’ve purchased from Dana Point Nursery have been great quality and have flourished in my yard! They have a wide variety and a very helpful staff:) I would recommend you give this nursery a try, I’m definitely glad I did!

I have come to this place alot and have bought quit a bit of plants and pots from them. They have a nice selection of plants and trees and the property is well kempt. HOWEVER I don‘t think i‘ll be back. My gripe is somewhat minor but, put a bad taste in my mouth.
We just moved here from SF. we are in escrow on a house so I planned on coming here to buy our plants for our new home. When we came in the other day (mind you i‘ve been there alot in the past and bought items here.) I had to use the restroom really bad (number 1– sorry for the «tmi») I asked the guy whom i‘ve seen many times before if I could please use the restroom, I was practically crossing my legs. He said «no», but I could walk over to the bakery and use theres. Now mind you i‘m not just a passer by and not some random person walking down the road. I asked if that‘s where they go? He then said (no) it‘s because our bathroom is torn up and out of order.
That‘s what you should of said to begin with ! I‘m a little floored that you being a public place that doesn‘t have basic facilities for you customers… Only because I questioned you is why you made up the bathroom story which is what you should have said to begin with.
I walked around with my partner disinterested at this point and had to leave to drive back to my house in Laguna Beach to relief myself. This is when we went to San Juan and discovered the Plant Depot.
I‘m sorry but I will not be back here.
As a business owner myself I only let MY clients use the facilities at my place of business not random walk by‘s, You guys should too.

Dana Point nursery has a wonderful selection of plants, succulents and creative potted arrangements. The staff is helpful and friendly and I have always enjoyed the items that I purchase there.
