San Gabriel Nursery & Florist

Yule Show 4 months ago

After visiting Present Perfect in Pasadena, I drove from north to south through the middle of the San Gabriel Valley. There are several major north-south roads in this area, and Rosemead Boulevard is one of them. San Gabriel Boulevard is another. The road is wide and easy to drive. The nursery is right across the street from Com Tam Kieu Restaurant, one of the better Vietnamese broken rice restaurants in Southern California. On the way there, I passed a construction site, probably a new apartment building. It strongly gave me the impression of an EB-5 green card project, the kind of real estate development marketed less as a normal apartment building and more as an immigration investment package for Chinese buyers. In the middle of the SGV, that feeling was hard to miss. After that came the nursery. I drove from north to south, made a left turn onto a smaller street, and parked outside. The entrance is tiny. You walk through it and immediately reach the counter, where there was even a line. After that, you pass into an indoor room stocked with fertilizers, plant stakes, soil, mulch, and other gardening supplies. Beyond that is the back garden, which is much larger than expected a

Big nursery with a lot of plants and garden supplies. There are many flower pots and sculptures with oriental characteristics. Indoor area plants are kind of expensive. Many houseplants are not very healthy and can be a bit messy.

Been coming here for 50 years. Neat old nursery with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Good selection with great prices. One can get lost looking through all the rows of plants and stock.

Our go-to nursery for plants and flowers for our garden. With spring’s here, people are out shopping for plants and flowers. They are busy here. This nursery has been here for ages. From my parents generation, they had been buying plants from San Gabriel nursery. The nursery has everything you need for the garden. From perennial flowers to seasonal plants as well as fruit trees, they have them all. We got some seasonal flowers to add some live to our garden. The prices for flowers are very reasonable as compared to other chain home improvement stores. The gardeners here were very helpful. Every time we had a question, they were there to provide answers and helped us to select the right flowers and plants. Even if you’re not buying flowers and plants, coming here to walk around is healthy for you as the the nursery is huge and has plenty of plants to provide ample fresh air. Parking is inside the nursery.

My favorite Covid weekend activity! They have a great selection of outdoor/indoor plants, and beautiful pots (they restock often). The variety of CA natives is great, and during rose season they have several rows of roses. The employees are helpful and the take Covid precautions seriously.
