Venice Plants

Dustin knows what’s up. He takes so much pride in his work and is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I won’t buy plants anywhere else!

Pretty cool place, Dustin is pretty cool, you can tell he’s been around a while. Plants are great and the white pot makes them.

A good guy all around to deal with. Friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend this place

I just left here. Tina was so incredibly kind and helpful. Thank you. But the older gentleman was so awful to me. The minute I walked in he wasn’t kind at all. He wasn’t treating the plants like they weren’t living creatures. Thrashing and tossing them around without care. After looking for a bit I decided I wanted to think about one of the plants. He told me he wouldn’t sell it to me even if I came back to purchase it. I send him love and warmth. I hope he learns to see love in the plants he sells and the people entering his shop.

My buddy Michelle recommended this place! I work on Abbot Kinney and have been driving by this place daily but never took a moment to stop in. So glad I did; Dustin is awesome! He’s got a boatload of Gainey ceramic pots too!

Passed by this place while walking to Baby Blue’s bbq and was enamored by how quant it was. Great selection, informative and blunt owner – just the way I like it! Ended up buying a lambii plant.

I’ve bought 3 plants from Dustin and he has always been so helpful and gives me a great price. I’m notorious for killing plants but have been able to keep them all looking good with his instructions!

This is my very first time writing review. I ask this Dustin guy a simple question and I got yelled at. He said he is angry with all customers asking questions. He told me to go home and he said he won’t sell me plants. Don’t go there unless you want to feel miserable.

Dustin really knows plants and the importance of proper caretaking. my plants are all doing beautifully. its great to have an honest knowledgeable person like Dustin to go to for plants because its very tricky to keep them thriving.

Home Depot is for suckers!
(full disclosure: I have been buying plants from Home depot)
Walked in and met the owner; Dustin. Great guy. Told me he’s been taking care of his regulars for 24 years. He walked me around and helped me pick stuff out. I’m now a regular.
I picked up a nice big lavender plant for $ 15, a really cool big flowery cactus thing for $ 20, a gorgeous hanging leafy thing that I don’t remember the name of for $ 12 and a so-ugly-it’s-cute hanging succulent thing that I don’t remember the name of for $ 7.
I thought about haggling, but I know what I would have paid for these elsewhere and couldn’t. The man even helped me jam them all in my car.

I have known Dustin and I have been buying plants from him for over 10 years. He is fantastic and very knowledgeable. His plants are beautiful and at a very reasonable price. I refer all of my friends to him and would not go anywhere else. He also helped hook me up with a gardener who I have been very happy with and who is also very reasonable since I need someone to come 2 or 3 times a week to water my outdoor plants. Highly recommend – would not go anywhere else.

Have been coming here for years. Dustin always has a recommendation for me, let’s me know exactly where to put the plant to keep it alive (window, sun, light etc.) as I don’t exactly have a green thumb, but I love plants. He also tells me exactly how much and when to water each plant. Besides he has the best deals for both plants and pots.

If you like being sold a dying plant, yelled at, treated like you’re an idiot, and more or less not even offered a solution then go here and let the psychotic owner Dusty help you pick out a plant. I went here thinking, oh how nice to buy from a small business. I needed a large palm which was not too expensive since we were using it to stage a house for a client. Dusty sold me a palm for $ 60, looked to be the exact kind I had seen the day before at Ikea. He told me to make sure and water it when it arrived. I did as told, and a week later I get a call from an angry client there is a dead palm in the house. So I call Dusty and leave a message, he returns my call and immediately is yelling that I did something wrong and I didnt water it right, and I literally ended up having to hang up because it was such a pointless conversation. I then went to the business and showed him a pic, and all of a sudden there were all these other instructions on care, and he claims he told me the palm was very dry, and he said I didnt want to pay alot, etc. There is no customer service here, just a wheeler dealer plant scam artist in my mind. I live in West Hollywood and would prefer any of my local little garden centers to ever going back to this nutcase. **And they don’t take Amex.
