C & S Nursery

****************Disneyland for Gardeners*******************
Oscar greeted me upon my arrival and drove me around as we piled up the cart with plants which I couldn’t find elsewhere. He has an excellent memory, and kept me on track with the patience of a saint (I had a bout of «plant confusion» because there were so many I needed to buy). I mentioned one plant, which he had not heard of. Oscar actually looked it up; none of the other nurseries I had been to were that curious, and it’s that curiosity that changes the LA landscape, as these odd plants make their way into the mainstream. I can’t say enough good things about Oscar, who I found extremely helpful.
The nursery itself is a gardener’s paradise. A vast array of plants perfectly categorized and lined up so you can pick the one that «speaks» to you. They have a great selection of drought tolerant plants, unlike other local nurseries (such as Hernandez, at least as of fall 2015). C & S is easy to find, and the prices are exceptional (I can say this after visiting many, many nurseries in so-​cal). No matter how busy they get, I have always been quickly and efficiently assisted — they know their stuff!

I bought my eugenias here, they were very healthy stock. This nursery was recommended to me by an estate caretaker, who knows all the best. places for maintaining grounds.

I love this place. (1) Street parking is easy, (2) if you need help they’ll drive you around the property to get whatever you’re looking for, and (3) they’re dog-​friendly.
About 2 – 3 months ago, I started a balcony garden to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. I don’t know why it took me so long, but I finally stopped by C&S to see what they had and I was pleasantly surprised by their vast selection of plants and trees, as well as their highly accommodating customer service.
Ultimately, I ended up taking home a Penstemon, an Asclepias curassavica (Monarchs FTW), and a pink lemonade tree (upon Jesse Salazar’s recommendation). I gave the tree to my buddy as a gift, and kept the other two which are thriving wonderfully outside. (Not sure if they’re attracting anything, but they look great!)

More selection but more expensive than Hernandez across the street. Been here 30 minutes and no customer service.

HUGE nursery with a variety of flowers, plants, trees and shrubs. The staff are helpful; provide suggestions and are informed about what they sell and how to care for your plants. If you’re not sure what you want to buy, you’re free to roam around and take everything in and believe me, there’s a lot. I bought 2 hybrid tea rose bushes (Marilyn Monroe and New Zealand). Almost a year later and they’re still going strong.

Great selection. Great prices on compost and soils. I’ll be back!

Hidden gem! Had no idea it was here. Prices are amazingly perfect. The guys are such a great help getting things in and out of your car plus driving you around the garden! They have everything and great customer service. I called around and left messages with other nurseries but these guys actually picked up the phone and answered my questions. SPOT ON! Coming back for sure.

Wow, this place is fantastic. Knowledgable, helpful staff, and such a fantastic selection. I came here after failing to find what I needed at three other nurseries, and they had it all.

This place used to be a 5 for me. They’ve gone up on their succulent prices A LOT. I’ve noticed it growing in popularity, but still trying to figure out why they want to overprice plants AND price them for the size of the pot — not the plant.

Pros: Local, family run business! You are greeted upon entry. Wide variety of plants. Plants look like they are of great quality. No pressure to purchase.
Cons: When I asked for advice for specimen to plant in a specific location, I was given a general response. They don’t guarantee their plants. Prices are comparable to local big box stores (although big box stores will have a much smaller variety). They never answered my email.

This place great! Huge selection of beautiful plants and trees at the best prices. Great service as we’ll.

As a Landscaper I need to be able to rely on the nursery I use. Chris and Santiago run a great business. They have a great selection of plants at great prices. They are always willing and most importantly able to give great advice. Deliveries are always on time. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Fantastic spot for your plant needs.

First place I have been able to find worm castings!

My wife and I went there on the recommendation of a mutual friend and we were very happy with both the selection and service. We went there and they had exactly what we wanted and were even able to give me some advice when I was making a plant decision that wasn’t going to match the other plants I’d bought. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I would recommend them to anyone who is thinking of buying plants for their home or place of business.

This nursery is well maintained! Very clean and organized. I came here hoping to find clear plastic pots for my Orchids. But they mainly cater to landscaping. I don’t remember seeing any herbs or vegetables. Regardless I think its an awesome place to walk around and absorb the beauty. I took many pictures so please take a look! The employees are friendly and there’s absolutely no pressure which is why I rated 5 stars.

Absolutely loved this place. Reasonable price; helpful and friendly staff, what else can you look for?

Fantastic Nursery run by an exceptional family. My partner and I have done business with them for as long as they have been in business. We are attracted to the way they conduct business, plant selection and competitive prices.
The configuration of the nursery makes it easy to shop for plants. The rows are north, south, east and west. the plants are sorted by type and size, and they have a beautiful display of the grasses and perennials.
The staff is very helpful and kind. They greet us by name and immediately ask if we need help with our order and point us in the right direction if we have a question. It’s nice when the staff can hear our voice and know who we are. I highly recommend C& S Nursery.

I went looking specifically for herbs and veggies for my planter garden. They had almost everything I was looking for, and the guy who checked in with me periodically said that the things they didn’t have were just temporarily sold out and would be restocked within a few days. VERY reasonable prices, very low-​pressure staff, just exactly the atmosphere a gardening newbie like me needs.
I’m far from an expert, but I felt like their flower selection was a bit lacking. They didn’t have any of the flowers I was interested in, but I may have been looking for overly specific items (oxalis, english daisies and sarah lavender). Tons of impatiens, one of my pet peeve flowers. I get the impression they can order in anything you want, though, which I may go ahead and do.
I’ll have to update after a few weeks to make sure my plantlings are healthy, but so far I’m very happy with C&S.

This is a great place to go for some discount plants.
There is a large inventory for those who are looking to plant some plants!
The prices are cheap and it’s a very laid back experience.
Go browse your plants, remember the ones you want, then drive around with some guy in his buggy so he can take you around to pick up your plants.
10 percent off the price of your plants if you pay cash.
I’d say the plants are about 20 percent cheaper than those at the big box stores, and the plants are much larger.
There are a few plants that are just down right expensive, but I think you can sort out what is expensive and what is not if you do your homework.

We have been going to C&S for a while. There was a specific groundcover we were looking for and couldn’t find anywhere else. They had it.
They have everything you can imagine and some. Their quality is great. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
They will line your car with plastic and load your purchases into it.
Depending on were you live, this can be a bit remote, as it is for us… But the trip is worth it. 5 Stars
