SummerWinds Nursery -Tatum

The staff was friendly and helpful. Being new to Phoenix, my gardening skills were not honed towards the desert and heat. The kind people took my ignorance as a challenge and gave my wife and I lots of helpful advice snd a 15% discount. Love our 5 new flowering shrubs and plants. Thanks

Love this place. Smaller, more personal experience. Neil helped us with our new dwarf blood orange purchase. He was outstanding. Very energetic, knowledgable and helpful. Could not have been more impressed by him! Thanks for all the help!

Excellent nursery! Prices are comparable to the big box gardening center stores. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They also have a reward program & wonderful sales. So glad a friend recommended them!

We’ve had nothing but great experiences here. They have a huge selection of plants and every staff member has been friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Pat, in particular, has been extra helpful each time we’ve been in.
We live closer to the Glendale location, which has good basics, but drive to Tatum when we want a wider variety of plants to choose from — especially when we are looking to be creative.

This is one of my favorite nurseries and the people that work here are extremely friendly and most helpful. Been coming here for over a decade and it is very close to my house. We could almost walk here but then who gets to carry the stuff back home. LOL!
Usually come here for vegetable, herbs and spicy pepper plants and they have a nice selection. If they are out of something it will typically be coming on the next delivery truck. They also have a large variety of other types of plants, shrubs, cactus and fruit trees.
This week we picked out two different types of Basil, some Thyme, Dill, Oregano and several spicy Pepper plants. Jalapenos, Serranos, Poblanos, Caribbean Reds, Ghost, and a bunch of hybrid versions. Some of them are already budding and I’m excited see them smiling at me.
The people who work here are always ready to answer my questions. Even my stupid questions are promptly answered and they always have a variety of solutions for my dilemmas. Nice!
There are a few employees that have been working here forever. One of them is the Great Wizard Jimmy. He is like a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and could possibly be NASA material. He is so happy and smart and you will normally find a group of customers following him around for his Guru like wisdom.
The prices here are a little higher than the big box stores but they are very reasonable considering you are getting a better bang for the buck.
Just need to come up with some new fresh salsa and stir fry recipes to enjoy my tasty yummies. There is nothing like the heat of some fresh peppers right out of the garden.
Also wondering if those stupid ground squirrels in my backyard can take the heat this year. They sure liked my tomatoes last year. Hoping these peppers are too spicy for their little squirrel mouths and rear ends. INFERNO TIME!

I have had nothing but excellent service at this nursery.
I’ve been going here for 15+ years and have never been let down. Their selection is amazing and I feel calm and relaxed while strolling around checking everything out. If I’ve ever had a question, there is always someone who is willing to help and assist.
They have a great selection of everything from water plants to citrus trees to cactus to herbs to shade trees to annuals.
I had been disappointed that the one plant I had been looking for was out of stock and they immediately offered to take my name and number and call me when they arrived back in stock. They called within a week and asked how many I would like set aside for me. When I showed up, they were there waiting for me with no issues or problems.
I was there 30 minutes too early one morning and they ended up opening up early and let me in. They didn’t have to do that, but I certainly appreciated it…
I have been to the bigger nursery across the street and I don’t like the customer service I’ve received there, so I am going to stay with Summer Winds!

This is a self service Nursery. Incompetent cashier. Rude manager. I could have literally walked out with anything. Had to wait for a long time, yelled out for help, not an employee in sight today. Finally a little girl steps out from behind the closed door, just to give me a dumb look, tell me she doesn’t know how much the potted roses are. Then tells me she isn’t supposed to leave the area. Instead turns around to disappear into office again, behind a closed door, to leave me to walk out, with no one watching the store. I called the manager who told me the roses were marked & he didn’t understand why I couldn’t see the price. Hey the Nursery across the street takes my money gladly.

Absolute best nursery! i have been to 4 nurseries around the tatum and bell area and this one is by far the best in terms of workers there and pricing. always love going there and learn something while getting a great product i feel i got the best deal on.

I’ve been coming here for plants since i bought my house in 2009. The staff here is super knowledgeable and are very eager to share their experience. The plants I’ve bought here have always been healthy and they provide plastic and trays to transport your plants if you don’t have a pickup or an SUV. Their prices are competitive with the big box home improvement store and they have a rewards program to boot.

Love this place. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Got me all set up for my winter grass and gardening plans.

They have some very nice plants here at this nursery. The people seem pretty nice, but not as knowledgeable about the plants as I would have liked. They are also a bit spendy as well.

Great plants, reasonable prices :) Their staff is ultra-​friendly and knowledgable.

It was a good morning so far, talked to some great friends on the phone from around the world at first, then I decided to go to SWN for some seeds. I love going here on Sundays, very mellow, not to crowded but the best part of the visit was the playing of Grateful Dead tunes in the background. Yes, I am one of those weirdos who listen to the crap most play at stores but their sound track was very good. Bought my seeds, now ready for a great Sunday, thanks again!
Great nursery, visited since early 90’s

I rarely write online reviews of a business, but this one is exceptional. We purchased a good sized tree and arranged to have it delivered and planted. When they told us it would be over a month before they could deliver it because they were so busy, we were obviously disappointed. Two days later, they called to see if they could deliver it the very next day! We were ecstatic! The young man who delivered it was right on time, and had the large hole dug and the tree planted by himself in under two hours. We have had only positive experiences at Summerwinds. The facility is clean and well organized, and the staff is polite and knowledgable. There is another nursery almost directly across the street, and Summerwinds is everything that they are NOT.

I don’t write Unilocal reviews often, but when I do it’s usually because I am either very pleased or very disatisfied with an establishment. In this case I’m writing because I had such and excpetional experience yesterday I felt compelled to «Yelp».
I was helped by Shane and I have to say his customer service was extraordinary on every level. He had encylopediac knowledge, passion, personality and most importantly was ENGAGED in helping me get the right plant and pots. Why are «Shanes» of the world seemingly so few and far between?
This guy hustled and I mean that in a good sense. He had a sense of purpose and worked his tail off with very clever solutions to getting my awesome money tree and pot together. Summer Winds has a good egg there, because of him, I know I will be back often to support this store.

I adore this nursery & drive all the way from south phoenix to buy my veggies & plants here. The employees are incredibly knowledgeable. I think they have a great collection of organic seeds, starts & amendments. They also do special orders. The 2 peace trees I purchased last year are growing like crazy. Their trees, shrubs & smaller plants are all very well cared for. It is totally worth the drive. Skip the Home Depot and go to a place where they really know their plants!!!

I really love this nursery. It is so quaint but has all your needs. You will really appreciate the customer service and knowledge they have to provide. It is worth a trip every time. Prices are good, quality is better! I love all the little decorations near checkout that help spice up potted plants!

I am so glad I found this nursery! Not only is it a beautiful place but the employees are unbelievable, so helpful and knowledgeable.
Needed to get my garden ready for planting and they helped with everything. The plants they have look great, not all wilted like some other places.
Think this has become one of my weekend stops.

This nursery has become our first choice for any additions to the yard — be it annuals in pots, cactus or shrubs. They have a phenomenal selection of pots — indoor and outdoor. The plants are organized and displayed in a way that helps you understand how much sun vs shade they may need. it’s very easy to get in and out and bring home some great greenery! I only wish they had more holiday items at Christmas — live wreaths, garland, and poinsettias, even ornaments.
