•I didnt realize this place was so big!•There was a wide variety of plants and I was so tickled to see them all. They had everything I needed to make my terrarium and I bought an extra plant just-because.• I found 2 employees that were able to help me & they were so sweet and helpful. There was a long line for the outside registers (Saturday afternoon) but the line went very quickly. They were really hustling to get customers out in a timely fashion. Super nice!•This is my new go-to for all my plant needs ❤️🌱
HUGE garden center with an amazing selection of plants. Several native plants, trees & bushes. I especially appreciated the detailed, informative signs located by all of the plants. Large selection of plants to be used for SAWS saving coupons. Even the pot selection was bountiful. Will definitely be returning!
We went to buy a crape myrtle. Henry was very knowledgeable & helpful. The prices were great compared to other places I called. There were lots of little tents with vendors so there weren’t many parking spots available. The cashier lacked customer service skills. She was more interested in her conversation with her co-worker than speaking a single word to us.
Awesome well organized place. Filled with anything you need. Customer Service was great.
Pretty good nursery with tons of different plants, fruit trees and such. They have a little space for insects to pollinize and they show/sell you everything you need to set your space at home. My toddler loved the view with all the bugs. Definitely the place to go when you need something for your garden.
I went yesterday and the place is super beautiful with tons of plants varieties. The plants are well taken care of and greatly organized. Customer service on the other hand is bad and i could see other reviewers complaints on the same matter. While i appraise their care for the plants, this is not a personal garden, this is a BUSSINESS that includes kind and supportive selling service. A simple example is handing you the purchase at the cashier while looking away and chatting with a co-worker besides the cold and un welcoming looks when you go in or even answering your questions with care. I literally had to run after a staff i asked a question because he answered while running away that i could not hear him well! I love your plants so much but customer service needs to be seriously worked on.
Great plants and reasonable prices. Purchased living memorial plants 🪴 and Terra cotta planters. Excellently arranged and spacious.
We have A great time whether at this location or the location on Thousand Oaks. The staff is very helpful and the customers who shop here understand COVID procedures and keep distance. Very enjoyable experience shopping here. The parking gets a little tricky, especially on the weekends, but other than that, thumbs up.
Always very helpful, huge selection to choose from. A wonderful butterfly garden. Everything from trees, plants, vegetables, tools, pots, manure.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Did I mention every plant, flower, tree, fountain is beautiful? If you dont shop here for your garden, your missing out. What more can I say? Enjoy!!!
They always have neat looking cacti and succulents, mostly the whole reason I go!
Awesome! I have been gardening for a while now and I always come here for plants and seeds. Staff are very kind and helpful, always willing to chat with me on how to solve my gardening problems. They also carry a huge variety of plants which are always healthy. Very dependable and reasonable prices! I love this place!
I was able to find just what I needed at a competitive price. Ive stopped expecting a lot of help though. Its a big place and you are mostly on your own
Not many people there to help. They want you to go in on the side. The lines were long to check out. We ended up leaving without buying anything.
Check it out. Great selection and helpful knowledgeable employees. Beautiful place to shop.
Always a pleasure to go here.Just wish they had the plants they have displayed in their garden and butterfly gardens.To many no sorry we dont have that lately.But all in all I love going to Rainbow Gardens!!
This was our second time at this location and we love it! We drive from the southeast side to come here because we enjoy the layout and the variety of all the plants. And the staff is always so helpful and knowledgeable on the plants whenever we have questions. Their prices are more than what you would pay at heb,walmart, lowes, etc., but they are a private nursery so we that into consideration and we dont mind. Plus our kiddos love walking around and looking at the animal decor!😊 10 for 10 would recommend.
I love Rainbow gardens but seriously guys, the mud by the entrance is slippery and unsafe. I came in there with my kiddos and if I wasnt holding my two year olds hand she would have fell down because she slipped. Someone could get hurt, customer or employee. Saftey first.On a better note the young man in the section by the front was very helpful and polite as are alot of the employees at Rainbow.
A wonderful selection of plants that are well tended. The entire staff is very helpful.
About 90 % of the landscape plants at my house on a 1/2Acre lot came from this place. Very good selection, reasonable prices, best selection of plants for the vegetable garden I found near my house. Gardening is my pastime in retirement. Tomatos grow best here Spring and Fall. This is the place that has the ones you will be happy with. I am off to buy a lemon tree today to replace my almost loss in the great freeze. I hope to graft to the root stock growth now coming up to say it made it past 2021.
Great place and good variety. Some staff is a little rude but overall the selection is great
I love wandering around the gardens, and inevitably end up bringing something home with me. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, lots of selection, and happy plants. They have a restroom and water fountains, so I can spend quite a bit of time here when the weather is nice. Dont pass this place up if youre looking for cacti and succulents!
The employees were all so knowledgeable and friendly! With a Carte Blanche I could go CRAZY here! Have loved this place since we moved here in 92!
Loved this nursery!! Customer service was so helpful and kind. I could wonder through here for hours, so many plants
The new checkout lines are horrible. Takes so long to check out. You basically become an employee and have to tell the cashier one by one what you have.No sense of urgency either. The cashier today was extremely slow.Still love the place. But not the slow checkout lines.
This is the best nursery I have ever been to.The quantity and variety of plants they stock is extremely impressive.
I love this place. Everything is so beautiful. Only lived in Texas for 4 years still learning about the different plants. Everyone is so helpful!
This is a review of the service, the place looked nice while I was there.I hate wasting time and energy.So I called and asked about dividing up the three plants I have, on the call I heard it being relayed and asked in the background, YES was the answer (I did give the current size, and plant types)!She said it was busy now, best come early next day, ok, no problem.Yet here I am, heading home because all of the sudden NO they cant split them, they didnt even look at them, all of the sudden its NO...Waste of time, energy, and gas...
Employees very helpful: one graciously offered us a cart. Asked another for a special type of jasmine. She knew they had ONE left and led me straight to it! Friendly and knowledgeable! Outstanding selections!
They unfortunately didnt have the plant I looking for in stock, but I received excellent service. They let me know when to expect shipment and to call so they could hold the palm I wanted. Landscaping and the grounds are really beautiful and though the prices are a little high, the quality is much better than the big box stores.
Always love going thereHuge huge huge selection of plants, tree, shrubs and everything in between. I highly recommend this place to everyone and their second location as well.
Always exciting to visit! They have a plant or pot for everything and everyone. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
Wear your face masks to buy your plants? In. An. Out. Door. Garden. Center. In the Texas heat! These people have no common sense. It is hazardous to your health people! We will take our business elsewhere. They conviently have people selling masks outside for adults and children for those who dont care about their health. Busier businesses dont require masks. ✌
Great place to buy shrubs, roses, pot plants and trees of all kinds. Along with that it is also a good place to just walk around when it is nice outside to look at all the different trees and flowers. The staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions that you might have regarding what to use when planting a new set of plants or trees. They can also recommend on what would fit best into your backyard based on what you are trying to do.
LOVE this place. Seeing some complaints that they require masks. I’m grateful for them wanting to protect their staff and customers. Anyone that cannot wear a mask for a medical reason shouldn’t be mingling out in public anyways. There’s a huge sign out front that says they can help with curbside if masks are an issue for you.
Found what I was looking for and good prices. Very scenic, love to go there.
Wonderful . First time there will be back.
(03-30-19). My wife and I went to ask about grass that will grow in the shade. I was told the grss would need at least 4 hours of sun. We have a big oak tree in the front yard so we cutting it down! J/K my would kill me lol. We walked around and its a big place with tons of flowers and trees. I love the trees here. I took some pictures to share with yall. I.hsve nothing bad to say about the place. Theyve just about everything you need to start your garden. If youre board you can walk around and check out the place. Its very nice. Plus this spot has a Pokemon Gym!
Even when we just go window shopping. We end up buying something. We go at least once a week
Have always loved this nursery. Shopped there for years. Now shopping there has become exhausting. Dragging or pulling a cart or wagon over the rocks & pvc pipes is really difficult. Now if you need something in front you have to go all the way to the back to pay. Wont be going back until some restrictions are lifted.
I absolutely love this nursery! This was my second time going Yesterday May 1, 2021. You can tell they take care of the place with love and knowledge! The trees, flowers, and plants are just beautiful and healthy as ever! The pond is also a great attraction! There are coi, and catfish in the pond! If your in San Antonio, don’t forget to stop for a visit! You won’t be disappointed! I travel from Copperas Cove to come get my veggie starters from here!
Best place to go for Texas native and adaptables, many for Xeric gardens.
Awesome nursery..found my Happy Frog 🐸 there.
Great finds today!! Love the selection and staff
This place is beautiful! So much space to cover and browse around and a gorgeous collection of plants of every kind. Will definitely be back again soon.
Great place for any kind of plants and trees
I have a love hate thing with these place. I love and want everything there, but I hate how much I spend. Its worth it. I love how things look when Im done.
Great selection of plants and pots, reasonably priced.
Great selection of beautiful plants. I. love this place. If you have never been you have to check them out. Two locations both are great.
Its so awesome I couldnt find butterfly bush in Corpus
My favorite nursery. Just wish they had longer hours for days I work.
It was beautiful!! made me appreciate the living plants God created for us if we just take care of them . All employees were friendly and helpful.
Great selection! Large number of customers on weekends. They are well managed but wait to pay is 15+ minutes.
Love this place. Trying to replenish my garden after the snow. They are kind of running low and totally out of citrus trees. pretty sure everyone in san Antonio is trying to replace dead trees and gardens.
Super great place! The only real bad thing is them announcing there is a restock, getting up early along with other customers I saw to go buy all excited and it being empty! The gates were not even open on time. I walked around and left empty handed as did others. If there is a issue, it should be communicated in ADVANCE. I also asked a younger female employee with black, curly hair, light brown skin, seemed new, if a plant was a neon pothos or lemon lime philo and she told me it was the same!! So disappointing when a nursery does not have educated employees. At LEAST keep up with the label/posters educating customers with all the need to knows Rainbow Gardens! With a respect it would be a great job for that new employee.
No one answered the phone calls r my texts
Found a wide variety of reblooming bearded irises, which was a good thing because I was not having luck finding them at other nurseries. Found white scalloped squash plants, too. They even had Black Diamond watermelon plants!
SAWS purchase, 30 plants. Good prices, decent selection. Not much help from the female at checkout; what took 15 minutes could have taken half the time if only the she HELPED identify and sort the plants. Instead, she simply held the clipboard. This is not the first time staff there needed to check their attitudes. There are a couple helpful, friendly people working there, but we got a dud today :(
Great nursery! Nice variety.
Evette was knowledgeable and friendly.I hope shes there for a long time. She will be my go to lady. Thanks Evette!
Inventory was a little sparse but we found what we needed. Nice place, well laid out.
A great place to get a wide variety of plants with very knowledgeable staff.
Huge area. Great people. I enjoy just going and walking around.
Love this place. Great selection under normal circumstances. Helpful staff.
Im not into gardening, my girlfriend is. But they have a huge selection, great environment and a very friendly community within.
Some popular plants have been snatched up but still so many plants of every kind to choose from.
Quality and selection is good. Lines are long and slow. Worth the wait, never got bad plants or advice.
Extremely rude to my senior citizen mother. Stopped in and asked an employee about a specific type of plant and all she did was point in a general direction in the back. Then she proceeded to ask me to leave due to my physical disability. I advised her about my disability which I shouldnt even have to explain and she said it doesnt matter and that I needed to leave or she would call the police. I have since filled a ADA discrimination claim against this location. Dont go here if you want to be treated with respect as a customer. Went to a location less than a mile away and spent a good deal of money there instead. Lost my business forever.Spoke with owner after post. He was very apologetic for the situation. After discussion I would say that this is most likely an isolated incident with a single employee and most likely doesnt reflect the overall position of this business.
Rainbow Gardens on Bandera Road is always such a pleasant place to shop for plants, flowers, trees and herbs for San Antonio and south Texas gardens.
Awesome nursery. Vast variety, knowledgeable staff, great prices, and frequent additions keep this place at the top of our list when in need of some new plants. In particular, Id like to give Ryan a shoutout for being super helpful in the past.
Although there was plenty of plants, trees, fertilizer, etc -- it was packed! Customers were everywhere & parking was scarce! The lines to pay was about 12 people deep. I recommend going when it first opens as midday is a nightmare!
The hard freeze and snow hit them hard. Their stock is much smaller dye to that at the same time they are restocking as soon as possible. Still worthwhile visiting.
All kinds of plants, trees, pots in variety of sizes and colors, and about any thing you might want for gardening or landscaping. Prices are a bit high, but quality of merchandise makes up for it.
Love this place. Had everything I needed . Quick and professional help. In and out even with a line in 30 minutes.
Love going to this place, but havent purchased yet, due to the length of the lines. So it would have to be a plant, that I have to have.
