Green Arrow Nurseries & Hardware

Hands down best nursery for vegetable seedlings. Great selection of other plants as well and staff are TOP NOTCH! The best nursery in the Valley!

See review below.

Two stars because I’ve been coming here for 20+ years. That mom & pop shop, personal attention with a smile seems to be long gone. With all these big name hardware and garden stores around, it must be difficult to keep being competitive. Pricing didn’t matter to me when I came to look for hardware and other simple things for the house because the staff was friendly and they always had suggestions. Not anymore. If you come to the hardware dept be ready to get a forced one word answer with no additional suggestions. Why green arrow? Why do you keep pushing me toward Home Depot?

Great selections of variety plants and flowers all in very good deal and lower prices than other hardware/​nursery stores. They have very friendly and knowledgeable staffs when I asked them for suggestions for indoor plants. I would recommended this place if you’re looking to redo the garden or landscape.

Went to pick up our trees that we purchased a few days before, I personally asked will the trees be loaded in a safe secure manner in the back of a pickup truck they told me yes. today my boyfriend and I went to go pick up my trees and the loading men did not take any precaution for safety of my trees or of my boyfriends truck they just threw the bag of soil in the back and layed the trees down. My boyfriend asked can he have something to tie the trees down they gave my boyfriend 3 Tiny pieces of rope and they just walked away. Well they were rolling around and we drove so slow and carefully when we finally got back home we noticed that the men had scratched my boyfriends truck severely. Just terrible service!

This family owned business is great. They always have great advice on plants and carry a wide selection. A great place to buy natives, herbs, roses, and just about anything you want. I make it a practice to shop here for the standard stuff I often need, like potting mix, because it’s great to buy local.

Amazing Nursery! 5 stars — Strongly Recommended
It is always a real treat to visit Green Arrow. They have a great selection of high quality trees and plants. Their personnel is very experienced and great at providing advisement and assistance for any plant related matter.
I have purchased various tropical mango and guava trees, along with citrus trees. All my trees are thriving and growing beautifully.
I have also purchased soil, containers, and other general products.
This Nursery has amazing products at a very reasonable price. If you love plants and live in LA or the SF Valley, this place is a homerun.

I find it difficult to leave empty-​handed from here. They have a large selection of plants from flowers to shrubs to fruit and vegetables and herbs. They have many varieties of tomatoes and peppers… I’ve bought chiles here and they’re great. Prices are good. Staff is very friendly and knowledgable and cashiers are nice and will offer advice about the plant you’re getting if they have the same ones. Good experiences always!

My favorite nursery, hands down. I have to drive an hour out of the way to get here, but it’s totally worth it. I am a serious gardener and home orchardist. I have at least 40 fruit trees. These guys carry plants from reputable distributors, like Dave Wilson Nurseries. And they have a *very* impressive selection of hard-​to-​find plants and supplies. They don’t grossly overcharge, like Armstrong does. I can buy a bare-​root fruit tree there in January for 25 $ — the same tree at armstrong would be 35 $. The employees are knowledgeable and excited about what they do. They aren’t teeming with employees, so it helps to do some research on what varieties you want before you go.

I love the green house, they have a lot of house plants and some of my favorite are the spider plant, Rhapis palm and sansevieria of different varieties … when I go here? I’m like back in my own country…

They were the most helpful ever. I can’t remember the guy’s name but he helped me today get 3:15 gallon plants, 7:5 gallon plants & 7 flower flats. I had no clue what I was doing and he helped me out big time. Checkout was smooth the lady was really nice and the guys loaded up my Yukon Denali with all of that stuff. Very clean very nice wonderful job and experience. Whoever that was who helped me deserves a serious raise and a little more respect.

Super helpful and friendly staff. I came here for the lovage (no one else seems to have it) and walked out with everything I needed to start a small herb garden including useful advice on what type of soil amendment to use.
I will be back for the Bougainvilleas, lavender and roses!

My son and I stopped in here to purchase my grandma’s Christmas tree for her and she’s loved coming to this specific nursery for probably more years than I’ve been alive. It’s not in close proximity to her home and has never been but her loyalty here has never swayed. She’s older and not very mobile so I decided we’d pick it up and bring it to her this year vs. her having to have someone bring her to get it.
We pulled into the parking lot, hopped out and my son had found a tree to meet her needs within a minute or two, we found someone to help from this point, paid and by the time we were out front they had it netted and got it onto the car for us very quickly.
Service was great and the prices are reasonable. She usually spends around $ 100 on a tree and while I get ours from the grocery store or local tree lots the prices on these were comparable. I was actually quite surprised by the size of the noble fir we picked up. It also made it over 10 freeway miles without flying off the car, which is definitely a plus :)
She loved it and loved her receipt from Green Arrow so she knew we didn’t just pick her tree up from somewhere more convenient.
I wouldn’t normally shop here because it’s completely out of the way from our house and the neighborhood itself is pretty sketchy (which is probably a real understatement) but the nursery itself and it’s products are nice. I know I’ve been here several times over the years with her for many other items, usually seasonal plants for the back yard and potted plants that have always seemed to hold up for a good amount of time.

This is a great nursery everybody here’s an expert and really knows what they’re doing. I get a lot information for my clients here I take them to their live seminars as well. My company takes out grass and putting rocks and they accommodate all types of landscaping and are very helpful large facility with lots of vegetables as well all your plants vegetables fruit trees you can’t go wrong great pricing huge parking lot love to stop by every time I get a chance.

This year i bought my tomato plants as usual for Summer planting The plants i purchased here were inferior as compared to other years They were sickly and some died early If they did ‘produce fruit the fruit was inferior and took forever to ripen Over all this was the worst crop i have ever had since growing tomatoes for many years Dealing with the manager of the business in order to get a store credit for what i spent i would have had to bring in all my dead plants I do not like this place nor how they do business I will never shop there again The tomato plants i got there were inferior and sick I will go somewhere else for my tomato plants next year

I love Green Arrow. They have everything you need for your garden and lawn. The place is big, well organized, and clean. The staff is knowledgeable and quick to help you. If you go online to their website, print out a coupon.
Plants look healthy. They have a large variety of flowers both annual and perennial. Roses, trees, fruit trees, bamboo, shrubs, moss, indoor plants, vegetables, herbs, and seeds. And they sell a few water plants as well.
They also sell a lot of pots and have classes and demonstrations.
There is lots of parking but the street it is on gets a lot. of traffic so the trip there is annoying.

Oh my, oh my… what a fantastic nursery!
I recently visited the Theodre Payne plant sale and a very knowledgeable volunteer suggested this was the place to go for the non-​natives on my list and he was so right!
I should say that for our first visit, we simply wanted to see what was available and price out the plants still left on our list to buy. We are currently changing out 2600 square feet of turf (with the help of our city’s rebate program), and need to purchase a lot of drought tolerant plants and items to go with them in the process. We have also been dreaming of creating our own raised bed veggie garden for years now and since landscaping is required anyway, thought it the best time to go for that as well.
When I initially called Green Arrow a few weeks back, the person I spoke with didn’t have many answers and there weren’t customer service reps available to help. But after arriving in person, I was pleased to be introduced to a charming woman who took my partner and I through our remaining list, one plant at a time so we could see their selection and get prices. This allowed us to get a much better estimate for the entire project.
The plants themselves were lovely and the starter vegetables (which we quickly glanced at as we’re definitely not at that stage yet) looked delicious.
Highlights:
Great selection of dwarf fruit trees. I’ve wanted a Rasberry Shortcake bush to container grow on our front porch since I first read about the plant, and this is the first nursery we’ve been to that’s had it… and it was a very full and nicely shaped plant at that.
Fantastic selection of healthy roses. (While not exactly drought tolerant, they do great here in SoCal and I want a few rose bushes outside my living room windows)
Multiple colors of kangaroo paw (which I saw this earlier).
An entire section of California natives and drought tolerant plants.
We ended up leaving with the raspberry bush, as I don’t have to wait for our turf to be completely removed to plant that one. Also the EB Stone planting soil and rose soil we had read good things about was on sale while we were there, and after speaking with a different customer service rep about what we wanted it for, he confirmed that it would be a good component for our little garden (after mixing with some other things) so we loaded up as many bags as our car could carry (for roughly a $ 50 savings). Obviously that sale won’t last forever, but I was pleased to see we came at the right time to take advantage of it at least in part.

I love my nursery! It’s walking distance, so I just stroll over and enjoy an hour or two taking in the beauty and serenity (on week days anyway). I love showing up with a cup of coffee at opening, and just wandering around, googling care instructions for interesting plants.
Their prices aren’t unreasonable, and their selection is vast!
I removed one star because I’ve adopted a couple plants that had been slightly neglected and because the nursery appears to have only one or two professionals that have all the knowledge you need for any given plant. Most employees are helpful and kind, but not knowledgable.

I really do love this Nursery. They have selection the valley you will find hard to match anywhere else. Their indoor plants are awesome in variety. I actually need to stop by soon to get a money tree.
There is a huge selection of pottery too. I got a basic 4 inch pot for about $ 1. Their seasonal selection is great too. Make sure to come by for a Christmas tree. Parking is plentiful and employees are helpful.

Not a ton of help here when I went to get a blueberry plant.
On the upside, they had about a half-​dozen types of blueberry plants to choose from, but no one to give me expert advice on which one was right for me.
Still, a cool old-​school nursery.
