Bongard’s Treescape Nursery

Trees!!! I am in the market for larger trees and stopped by Bongards, right on 92. They have thousands of trees, especially pittosporum, redwood, fruit trees, cypress, bamboo, Palm, and many more. Plus shrubs and other things. All the 24″ box trees (about 10′ ft tall) are $ 395 and those in large pots run $ 100 – 125. The 4 – 5′ redwoods were $ 40. I checked some other prices online for 24″ box in CA and the going rate seems to be just under $ 200, so they are overpriced.
I did want to ask if they have a delivery and planting service included in the price but I couldn’t find a soul to answer any questions, other than the kitty who wasn’t very informed ;).
This place is huge, and the plants and trees looked very healthy, though the service was non-​existent. With a few sales reps, and potentially lower prices, I would this this place should be a huge destination for tree and shrub buyers!!! 5 stars for their inventory and 2 stars for prices and service.

A neighbor — the HOA president — decimated one of my trees by pruning the major branches to reduce the size and destroy the tree because he personally did not like it. The HOA has agreed to replace the tree, and I was thrilled to find Bongards. Their assortment is terrific, and I should have no trouble finding a 13′ replacement for my dearly loved 20-​yr old tree.

Ron is a doctor of all things green and has what seems to be a gazillion trees growing deep into the canyon. He quickly pointed out what plants and trees would do well for where I live and gave me great advice for long term care. Ron is a sole proprietor and actually lives on the property and like growing saplings, patience is a virtue when visiting. As a couple of reviewers have pointed out here, it may not be the place for those expecting prompt service, but the merchandise is priced commensurately.

Went there today and we were waiting for help and the woman working was helping someone else and ignored us.
We waited for quite a while thinking that she would notice that we were waiting for her but she didn’t so we left and we will not be back

We used Trent at Bongard nursery to create a vision for our landscape and to make it happen. He was phenomenal. he listened carefully to what we wanted, reviewed pictures we shared, and even drove around our neighborhood with us to make sure we were on the same page. He worked well with our HOA, creating a drawing that they approved quickly and then remained flexible in changes we wanted to make as he actually put the plants in. I really liked that they brought out a TON of plants and let us look at a version of the layout and then let us play with interchanging plants to see what looked best. That was so great. He even helped us with extras like getting a good irrigation person to do sprinklers and thinking through pest control in the upcoming months. He came out and checked on the new plants several times after the design was done to make sure the plants were all doing well. It couldn’t have been a better experience. The before and after of our yard is incredible. It is a tropical paradise now.

I’m surprised by the positive reviews. I went here looking for succulents and small pots. The succulent selection was so-​so and the health of the plants was so-​so. No one seemed interested in helping us, even though we were there for quite a while and actively went looking for help.
We also asked them if we could have or buy some 2-​inch plastic pots that were in their recycling bin. Not a lot – just 20 or so. They said they’d give them to us for 50 cents each – that’s $ 10 for all 20. These are just those cheap-​ass square pots that you can buy on eBay in bulk for literally 7 cents each. They were clearly just trying to take advantage of us.
It’s nice that there are a bunch of nurseries in HMB, but I like pretty much all the others better than this one.

We bought what we were told was an evergreen ash about ten years ago. It wasn’t and isn’t. For these several years since, it’s lost all its leaves and seeds every winter. It’s a mess. So, I curse Bongard at least once a year.

We Love this place!!!
Being a HMB resident it seems that everyone frequents the «other» to remain nameless nursery in HMB, but honestly, after being at Bongard’s it is the only place we will now go to buy our plants for our needs!
We found the owners and workers very informative and willing to answer every novice question I had pertaining to the items I was seeking. The grounds were well kept and the plants where very healthy. Everything we have purchased at Bongard’s have done very well and look great in our yard! We couldn’t be happier!

The selection here is great. It’s huge!
We’re sort of newbie gardeners, so we needed a lot of help which we received, late on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks back.
All of the plants we bought are doing great and the guidance we received (how many plants for our space, how much soil, etc.) was pretty much spot on. We landed up having to move 5 of the plants after doing a little research and discovering the plants were poisonous for dogs. So, I wish we had gotten that guidance, but all-​in-​all, a good experience.
Prices are a bit higher than Home Depot, but I prefer to shop from indendently owned business rather than huge chains. IMHO it’s worth a little extra cost to know we’re supporting a local business.

A great assortment of plants not found elsewhere along 92

This is a VERY hidden nursery on 92… driving by, you see all the big nurseries on the south side, but Bondard’s kinda just sneaks by. Which is a shame.
They are by FAR the biggest nursery on 92. Easily 3 – 4 times bigger than the next one. And here’s the scary part… their prices are awesome. Yeah… HMB nursery, prices awesome. Who woulda thunk. AND… ok, here’s the kicker… you walk in and ask for some abstract product that doesn’t even GROW in HMB? Yeah, they have it. Go figure…

Today was my first visit to Bongard’s and wow was I impressed. This place is HUGE and has a great selection plants, trees and shrubs. I bought THE most beautiful Princess Flower after striking out at three other nurseries. Employee Ron was extremely helpful — great guy. I will definitely shop there again.
