Thank you, Jerry, for repotting my orchid! I brought my phalaenopsis to Green Thumb, hoping they would help me repot my orchid as it’s been a year since I was gifted the plant. Jerry not only helped, he even explained how to better care for it. He said I had overwatered my poor baby! Their prices are actually comparable to Home Depot and they are far more knowledgeable! I will be return.
Absolutely the best nursery Ive been to in a long while. Wonderful selection, I was able to find all of the plants Ive been searching for during the last year and not been able to find. There was plentiful parking and an amazing staff of very helpful people that KNEW the varieties they stocked and sold and could take me right to them. I could have spent hours browsing, but my visit was fast and efficient. I really want to go back and browse. Sadly my home is 75 miles away but it would be worth the trip.
Green Thumb Plant Nursery has become my local go-to neighborhood plant nursery and gardened supply store. My life as a plant parent and Gardner has thrived because of this store and business. If I am not looking for something to buy, I find a lot of joy in just walking around the nursery grounds. If Im not buying items for my home, I can also make a quick stop to buy a house plant as a gift for a friend or a loved one. (Thank you, Green Thumb!
I hadnt been to Green Thumb for over 20 years and found it has grown substantially. Employees were very helpful and courteous. Got annual flowers, vegetable plants including carrots, peas, etc. Also bought flower and onion bulbs to plant and new garden gloves. Great place with large variety.
Best nursery period! My garden is full of plants and soil from Green Thumb, I love this place and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. Recommend taking one of their classes too!
Green Thumb has such a great selection of both usual and unusual plants, and their staff is super helpful and informative. I brought in a drawing of my small patio and what limitations I had with sunlight/time of day, and got a list of suggested plants that were all winners!I love even just visiting the store. The mantis, is enjoying the flowers from GT.
Ive passed by this nursery for five years and am kicking myself for not visiting it sooner. It looks tiny from the I-5 or from El Toro, so Ive been sleeping on Green Thumb (ha). However, when you enter the nursery--WOW, is it huge! It has so much variety in plants and definitely the ones that plant enthusiasts want. The pricing is great too!
Definitely not the cheapest game in town but without a doubt the most knowledgeable and helpful people you will find when it comes to your yard and garden. So everything today is about the big box store and the price. However, there is something to be said about a helping hand and a local small business. Today my wife and I decided to finish a section of our backyard that needed a professional touch so off to Green Thumb. We walked up to the first person we saw and thankfully we found Dave. Dave instantly took us to a small office where he took our phone pictures and created a sketch of the area. He asked what we were looking for and showed us some suggestions and within 20 min we were walking the nursery confirming his suggestions. He was spot on. We loved his ideas and plant choices. We used his expertise for a lawn fertilizer selection and other bits of information. They offer this personal experience free of charge. No credit checks or commitments, just a terrific small business experience. The value here at Green Thumb goes way beyond the sticker price.
Can I give ‘em 10 stars? Can I give Patrick 12 stars? This is THE place to go. I stalk Patrick (me and everyone else) and ask him his thoughts, he always has great ideas and gives you another perspective. Such a great person!! I went in to buy some hydrangeas and asked what tree to put in the corner above my hydrangeas. He asked to see a photo of my yard, he said, “you don’t want a tree, you want a shrub” and continued to explain that a tree would ruin my walls and my neighbors fences. Moon nursery didn’t mention that when they gave me a $1,200 quote for a tree AND they saw the same photo. Gee, thanks Moon, work on commission much? Patrick is going on my Christmas card list because he’s starting to become family. He actually cares and spends the time with you to feel confident. I really like Patrick. I might start calling him Uncle Pat. He also made a great point that I want an evergreen in the corner because my hydrangeas are going to be sticks in the winter, I’ll want something with leaves in the same area. High five Uncle Pat! Give that guy a raise! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Patrick has been of great help in my issues with my Citrus plant. His expertise advise made a big difference
Loved this place and how clean it was. So many different plants and trees to look at. Overwhelming but in the best way.
Love, love, love this place. Great prices, such a wide selection of indoor plants. Great selection of pots and of course out door plants. Friendly staff and I definitely recommend!
E xcellent selection of gardening supplies with speedy courteous service.
Was looking for citrus fruit trees, they have a large selection and exactly what i was wanting. Went to 3 other nurseries and none of them had any citrus trees, let alone clementine mandarin oranges - green thumb had 2 varieties. Plants were very health and already some fruit on them. Green thumb is not very close to me but they are worth the drive.
Large selection of plants and potters. The staff is really friendly and quick to ask if you need help or guide you to what you’re looking for. The store is organized. It’s a bit overwhelming at first but then you quickly realize there are purposeful sections. Their prices are reasonable.
I cant say enough about how friendly and knowledgeable the staff here is! I dont know who is in charge of setting the mood, but they are killn it. Im looking forward to going back and staying my next project. Massive thanks to the team for making my return to the world fun, friendly and full of hope.
Great help from employees both on phone and in person! Had lots of inventory of what I needed-- well stocked nursery.
Great selection however some staff rude, some staff great. I had a question and was told just goggle it by a staff out in the nursery. Other staff were great and helpful.
I was amazed by the size and wide range of products. There were also plenty of employees around so finding someone to ask questions to wasn’t a problem.
Green Thumb is hands down the BEST local nursery!!! They have everything and the staff there is very knowledgeable. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years. Sure some of their prices might be higher than say, Home Depot, But your are paying for better, healthier plants. Green Thumb plants are healthy and very well cared for and THAT is worth the few bucks price difference. Plus, the nursery is BEAUTIFUL! lush greenery, babbling fountains, aromatic herbs, fantastic seasonal displays and staff who love to be there! Come see for yourself! Love, LOVE this place!!!
Great nursery. Some prices are a little high, but fair for the most part. Large parking lot and cur side pick up. A lot of hard to find plants here as well. They have everything tou could possibly need from soil and pest management to patio furniture and supplies. Lots of roses and fruit trees. They even have aquatic plants here. They also have herbs and vegetables and a wide selection of indoor house plants. Will definetly come back here again.
Large selection, very knowledgeable staff, no hassel returns. Excellent nursery.
Green Thumb is one of only a handful of small businesses in Orange County open to serve gardeners needs without having to go to a big box chain. Their selection and expertise are second to none. They publish YouTube videos and newsletters which provide valuable info to anyone from the casual condo owner to the master gardener. Bring all of your business in this category to them; they deserve it.
Excellent nursery with knowledgeable employees. Nothings more frustrating than to be a garden department and not be able to find someone who knows what theyre talking about. This place clearly requires their people to know what theyre talking about.Excellent selection of outdoor plants, indoor plants, accessories, pots, and soils. An extra bonus is they have a drive-through area where theyll load your potting soil right in your car without you having to get out and lug it yourself.Go early if youre going on the weekend -- it gets pretty crowded.
Plants are well maintained. Love this place. They have many varieties. Will definitely visit again .
This is my favorite, go-to nursery in our area. Great herbs, veggies, roses, plants, fertilizer, and expertise answering our many questions. You’ve got to check this place out, you won’t be disappointed :). Happy planting!
I just love this place! The plants are always so healthy, great prices, and a huge selection. They also have a great selection of water plants - only place I can find in the area that carry for my pond. Highly suggest you visit soon if you have never been. The Christmas Village will get you in the mood for the holidays!
Green Thumb has such a nice selection of plants and trees as well as seeds. I got a passion fruit tree for my garden and it is looking wonderful!
Green Thumb in Lake Forest is always my first choice for all things garden related. They have a great variety of plants for the ground, pots, and for ponds, accessories, garden related hardware, fertilizers, pest control and great gift ideas - even a bit of fairy garden accessories and appropriately sized plants! Their staff has always been super friendly and helpful - and they are so knowledgeable. If I have something going on with a plant, I will take a pix, and bring in a leaf (in a ziploc bag as to not spread the ailment) and they have always been spot on with how to treat it. And a plus - they support the Mary Lou Heard Memorial Garden Tour the first weekend in May - that my garden is a part of!
Such a beautiful environment at this store. I love to just walk around and look at all the flowers and trees. Great selection of green goods and hard lines. Really knowledgeable staff to identify problems and great solutions.Love it.
This is my happy place!!! One of the best Nursery Ive been to in my life.
The staff are very knowledgeable about everything they sell. I can get reliable advice about organic fertilizers and insecticides, which plants will grow best in certain conditions, and how to construct a drip system. Excellent selection of healthy plants, pots, outdoor furniture. This is my go-to place for everything garden-related.
They have a wonderful selection of plants and everything for your garden. And terrific service too.
The garden experts who work at Green Thumb are terrific! They are knowledgeable and have helped me with so many garden questions, from which citrus tree to plant, to how to rid my grass of grubs, to the right time to plant my veggies. I love visiting the store. It feels like a field trip!
Really one of the best nurseries in any area that I know of. They have all kinds of plants that you cannot find anywhere else. Always bringing in new merchandise really the best nursery I know of.
Visit this Nursery; be assured that they can and will assist you with professionalism! If you have a question, or just need input just ask. If the person youve asked cant help, he/she will locate someone who can. Their environment is very pleasant - especially now! Staff members are friendly and concerned that youll leave satisfied.
*****Green Thumb Nursery is an excellent place to shop for anything for your yard. The nursery staff is extremely knowledgeable, all you have to do is ask for their help and theyll guide you to find what youre looking for or answer any questions you might have. This is a 5-star nursery that truly cares about their customers.
This is my favorite local nursery. Huge selections, some plants come in small sizes, making the cost much lower. Team members are always friendly and helpful, and theyve worked there for many years. Nice to see familiar faces at local stores.
Green Thumb has the best selection of pots and plants. Also, fertilizers and pest control. The staff are super knowledgeable and helpful. Plus, I always buy my Christmas tree and fresh garland there as they are extra fresh!
Mom and I love Green Thumb Nursery. We always find beautiful plants at great prices. The staff is very knowledgeable! Cant wait to return!
Green Thumb Nursery has always been one of my favorite nurseries in South County! I love all the variety that they carry, as well as their affordable prices (especially mid-sized houseplants!). Awesome family owned nursery. Will be shopping there again and again!
They are super knowledgeable and always friendly. I love going there and just looking around. They have great displays and good quality products
The quality of plants is why I shop at Green Thumb. I also love their expertise and ability to answer my questions. It is like a Home Goods for plants. I cold spend hours looking around at all the products they have in addition to plants. It is the only place I buy plants.
The shopping experience has always been top notch. It is clearly the best nursery within a 10 mile radius from us. Staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work.
Beautiful selection and knowledgeable Green Thumbs to assist. Who could ask for anything more? So much better than a big box store with the usual stuff. Thanks for the quality and the experience - so glad youre in our community.
Very polite very helpful staff. Great collection of what you might need.
I love shopping at Green Thumb Nursery! Everyone is friendly and very helpful. I love not only the plants, but many other things! I have a large fairy garden and always find so many fun fairy things!!
I love going to Green Thumb Nursery! I can always find the plants I am looking for and the customer service is great! I also love all the unique gift items and outdoor furniture, pots, barbecues, etc. that are available for sale. It is my go-to nursery!
Ive always enjoyed shopping at Green Thumb, although of late some of their personnel appear distracted and the customer service is somewhat lacking, although much better than the average home depot experience. Tried to return a dead tree which I purchased about a year ago, but they wouldnt offer a replacement because I couldnt come up with a receipt, and they say they keep no record of customer purchases.
My mom and I LOVE this place. The service is great and the plants are healthy. We go for everything from pots/plants to bird feeders. Her Christmas present is a guaranteed win because shes getting a very special item shes be eyeing for months. Cant wait to see the look on her face.
This is a very friendly garden center. They have many products like Rogers Gardens but with better pricing. They have great gift department and also a full line of outdoor and indoor plants.
Really enjoy coming here. Their selection is great and I can always find what I need. The plants here are pricer when compared to your Home Depot however, the quality of plant is far superior.
Ive had a difficult year with insects and I am so happy that Green Thumb employees are so knowledgeable in how to treat and eliminate specific pests. Ive taken diseased leaves to diagnose the problems and have used Green Thumbs products and suggestions with success! The selection of plants are amazing also. I have other nurseries closer to me but Green Thumb is worth the drive due to the quality of plants and expertise!
Always a great variety of plants to choose from. They are always healthy and abundant. The nursery employees are very knowledgeable and helpful as well. Definitely a favorite of mine!
This nursery has everything and then some more for anything you are looking for. The staff is tremendously knowledgeable and helpful, just ask. They hover all over the place so never a problem finding one. And they can order if something you want is out of stock or just needs to be ordered. Love this place and ALWAYS purchase my plants here. VEry Healthy, never returned anything yet! :-)
I have been going to green thumb nurseries for over 10 years now. They have the best selections of plants and fruit trees all produces the best fruit. I don’t Ben go to Armstrong anymore. No need
It’s amazing to shop with like minded people who are dedicated to gardening. The staff always has the answers, and want to know the answer if the don’t. Great job guys and ladies.
Wonderful resource for the community! I’ve taken a free citrus class and greatly enjoyed it. Excellent selection. The only place to go for garden supplies!!
I have been a loyal Green Thumb customer for 48 years. They have the products and knowledge that I need. The people here are very helpful and fantastic.
Through out this pandemic I can always go to Green Thumb to lift my spirits. The time I spend there is my escape. I have always gardened since I was young and I am so thankful to live where I can have plants and flowers year round. Your employees have always been so helpful.
Amazing selection of potted plants, vegetables for gardening, fruit trees, annuals, perennials, and so much more. Green Thumb NEVER disappoints! Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly helpful too.
Discovered Green Thumb many years ago after moving into Laguna Woods. Never disappointed in the selection available...plants, gardening needs, and the gift department is a delight. Definitely a gem in the neighborhood.
What a great place! It’s always so beautiful and the staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. It’s a safe place to go in this difficult time and feel calm and serene.
I love their selection of products. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable.
This has been my GO-TO nursery for nearly 50 years. Selection and prices are good. Plus there are always attractive displays to look at each season.
Staffs are friendly. Plant is healthy with good price.
I found must of want I needed, some seeds I decided I wanted and took some photos to remind me of some things I might want to get when I return. All in all, it was a pleasant experience.
No more buying plants from big box stores. Green Thumb is a gardeners paradise. The selection is huge, loaded with hard to find plants, and the prices are comparable. Green thumb is my go-to garden store.
Love this garden shop! Plants are always healthy and always a great selection. Plus knowledgeable people are always on hand to answer questions.
I have always had good service at Green Thumb Nursery and people that work there are knowledgeable. They have a large selection for plants, nutrients for plants, and the items I need for gardening. I am glad they are here for all of the people in Saddleback Valley.
Shopping at Green Thumb Nursery is a fun and rewarding experience whether shopping for plants and plant care, lawn care or decorating items. Experienced employees are always available for questions and help.

Love this Nursery, it’s Disneyland for anyone who loves to garden.
I used Green Thumb Nursery landscape design service. My designer listened to what I wanted and created a great plan for my front garden. The plants arrived in beautiful condition and did very well during the transition from container to landscape. Thanks for your service.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful and knowledgeable and willing to help you all the time and they have such an incredible selection especially seasonal items it’s one of my happy places to go to
I love browsing and finding a variety of plants here, ranging from in-season vegetables to some unusual outdoor beauties. Thanks for always being helpful and kind.
Large, well taken care of. Lots of variety ❤❤🍀
Great selection of healthy looking plants and very helpful people!
I LOVE going there. Great quality, prices, and experts. Cant ask for a better retailer.
Really rude people working here! Update your hours on Google instead of coming up to my husband and I saying We are CLOSED, CLOSED, CLOSED! I heard you the first time! No need to repeat yourself 3 times! Wont be shopping here for awhile until the sour taste is out of my mouth from that super rude employee! You should have been more concerned with the lady in the greenhouse wearing NO MASK- coughing and sneezing away! But, instead you come up to us and say you are closed all the while a maskless lady shops away coughing on all the plants in the greenhouse! 👏 Bravo!
The Lake Forest Green Thumb Nursery is a great locally run nursery that has tons of beautiful plants, flowers, supplies as well as a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Please support this great local nursery!
Love talking to the staff they are very informative of their products.I like the the variety of plants they offer as well.
This is a great nursery for all types of plants; from the common to the unique. The staff is always super helpful too.
