Hunter’s Nursery

I was looking for more succulents and my fiancé took me to this nursery. They had a good few to choose from, but not as many as I had hoped. They did have several indoor plants and different flowering/​fruit trees. The lot isn’t too big, but they do have a variety of things to see. Grass, moss, indoor, ferns, hanging arrangements, etc. I’m not a seasoned gardener so I’m not sure how well this really helps, but I’d give it a shot– they do have different plant foods that caught my eye.

I was looking for St Gabriel Organic Diatomaceous Earth. I thought I saw this business that would have it, but unfortunately they didn’t have it. But I did see a cute Buddhist stature, which I bought. I only live two blocks east of this place and plan on shopping there real soon. Great variety of plants. I now have a small back yard and want to get some plants to plant for it. It is a local business and I want to support local businesses.

This is a great nursery. It’s not huge but they have a fabulous variety of plants, flowers and trees. A bit of everything. A very nice selection of drought tolerant plants. The nursery is clean, tidy, and well organized. The plants are very healthy and labeled correctly which is more than I can say about a lot of nurseries around town.
The gal that assisted me was very nice and helpful.

The staff are always helpful and are knowledgeable.

A very wide selection of trees, flowers, and succulents! Very friendly staff. A really lovely nursery w/​affordable pricing that’s family owned.

Even if you don’t need any plants, take a stroll through this place. This fourth-​generation family-​operated nursery is the most beautiful and inspiring one I have ever visited. ALL of the plants are healthy and well-​cared for. Every section is beautifully laid out and displayed. I found myself wanting to buy so many more than I could plant in one weekend.
The owners and staff are super friendly and helpful, letting you just browse if you want, but always nearby if you have a question. You get the immediate feeling that they know what they are talking about!
We bought a lemon tree today and one of the owners helped us position it in our truck for a safe ride home. He also answered our questions about caring for a young citrus tree.
This nursery will have been in the same family for 100 years in 2019, If your garden needs some additions, check it out.

I have been here twice and I just can’t get enough of this place already. They have a great selection of everything you could imagine. The fact that they’re a family owned business that’s been around for ages is amazing!
The Good:
Variety– You can find pretty much everything you might be looking for here from baby succulents to small and large fruit trees, to rose bushes and beautiful handmade planters! You can also get herbs here! So nice to see such a variety.
Quality– Everything here is vibrant, full and very much ready to go home with you! You can tell the owners really care about their plants. The first time I came here, I bought a baby agave plant and now (1 year later) he is big and still growing. I know this is mainly due to my care but when I bought him he was very well cared for and healthy.
Price– The prices are so reasonable! I purchased a beautiful hanging string of pearls plant for $ 6.99! I also got a nice long ivy plant for $ 6.99
The atmosphere– This place is serene, roomy, and never too crowded!
The Bad:
Though I am not willing to dock any stars for this, it would be so nice to have a few more employees walking around the grounds assisting customers. The past 2 times I have visited, there’s only been one sweet woman floating around the office attending to plants. She is the nicest lady ever but she comes across as very shy… If I worked there, I would be dying to talk to customers about all the amazing plants we carried!
Like I said, not worth docking a star… just be aware that if you come here wanting to ask questions, you might have to wander around a bit before getting the help you want.
I will always support this place for their quality and prices!

They have an excellent selection of shrubs and flowers, but they have a limited selection of vegetables and herbs so that was disappointing.

I came here on a Monday with my 3 kids, ages 5 – 8, and we were instantly shunned upon as soon as we got out of the car. It was clear we were not welcome. I saw the other clients mostly consisted of gardeners, not family friendly. All my kids were in control, and none of them were being crazy. We had a wagon with literally 4 plants in it. One pepper plant, and 2 native plants that attract butterflies, and one other bush plant with several blooms on it. The lady that worked there did not identify herself (that she worked there) and said someone had called and wanted the plant we had in our wagon. What!!! So she took the plant out of our wagon! Seriously?! I wanted to support small nurseries, but I will not spend my money supporting a nursery that is so incredibly rude. I waited a few days, then went to City Farmers nursery. We had the opposite reception there! We were offered help, asked if we had any questions by several different employees, very laid back and friendly atmosphere at City Farmers Nursery! Ww will never return to Hunter’s Nursery!

What a great nursery! EXCELLENT service, family owned and local. Lots of parking, easy to get to. The staff is beyond courteous. super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. GREAT prices and huge selection. They did not have exactly what I wanted on Sunday .so Guy ordered it and I had my order by Wednesday. Just terrific … this is an easy 5 star review!

Terrible costumer service. My parents were mocked by a woman who worked there because they have strong accents. I hate to pull the race card. But she made it clear she was prejudice and did not like Hispanics. She must have been part of the family who owns the nursery because I’m not sure who would hire someone like her. Will not be returning to such a hateful environment. Plus their plants looked like they were dying.

I love this place! I have lived in Spring Valley for 13 years, but recently «discovered» this nursery when I decided I wanted to start an herb garden. On my first visit, I only went in for herbs, but left with the herbs and several pepper plants (sweet & hot). The prices are great and the staff is awesome! I have been back several times since that first time, and will probably return again and again.

We go here for any and all planting needs. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great selection and have helped us make lots of decisions for our house throughout the years. We wouldn’t consider going anywhere else!

My grandparents brought me here a lot as a kid. Now I bring my kids here. I’m not the green thumb my grandparents were but I still love this place, not just for my gardening needs but for the memories.

This (I believe) family owned nursery is fantastic!!! …Personal service… and they even go out to the plants to check on availability and price when you call!!!
I am a long time buyer here and highly recommend them… They are on par with Walter Anderson Nursery, but much more down home and friendly!!!

Great family owned nursery. They always do absolutely everything they can to make your experience the best.

Nice little nursery out alongside the freeway. They have a very large selection of rose bushes and bougainvillea and a wide variety of other pretty plants. Prices are pretty reasonable, and the lady that helped us was very knowledgeable and not pushy. Now that we’ve had a chance to check out what is offered and can see what will work in our yard I’m sure we’ll be back to pick up some spring time beauty!

Very impressed with the selection. It’s a family owned business and the owners sometime look like I’m a burden when I want a tour. But they are old so the older mom would rather read rose magazines then help the consumer. But she’s at least 80.
However, The owners daughter was very helpful and I spent 85 bucks and a day in the backyard. I’ll be back again soon.
Prices are average for any nursery.

This is a family run business. I’ve been to 90% of the nurseries in town. This one is in the top 10 list of favorites. They have a nice selection of good sized six packs, not those tiny ones you find at the box stores. They also carry a nice selection of seasonal veggies in six packs. I’ve purchased many fruit trees from them and roses with good results. Most of the fruit trees are from the durling farm in fallbrook as are most of the fruit trees in town. The price can be a few dollars more the the box stores but if I point to a tree they will carry and load everything in my car.
The lay out is very nice and easy to find items. They seem to carry mostly roses and drought tolerant plants and fruit trees, don’t recall seeing any bamboo or orchids. Also they always remember to not charge tax on veggies that’s a 7.75% discount compared to a lot of other nurseries that seem to forget…

No fruit, vegetable, or herb selection at all.
Looks like they have lots of trees though…
