I bought a beautiful angel that lights up.I asked the sales assistant to show me how it looked when it was lit. She tried many aa batteries before she found 3 that would work. She was very patient and kind. An assistant manager helped as well. It looked glorious when it was lit. I so appreciate the time and effort of two store employees to make me happy.
Beautiful nursery with very helpful employees. Large selection of all plants
Special thanks to Dawn, Sara and Shune. I called Dawn at Green Thumb about my struggling orchids and plants. She advised me to consult with the Garden Center. Shune helped me figure out the proper watering frequency and how to deal with bugs on my orchid. Sara helped me find some great artistic accents for my porch which included a copper watering can and Christmas fairy lites. I am grateful to the Green Thumb team for their help!
Great place for plants, planters, decorations and soil amendments. Handy location for us, too. #greenthumblakeforest
I walked in the store ordered five bags of bark with the cashier got my car and your staff loaded it and I was done. It was simple, fast and easy. I loved it. Some said I could’ve gone to Home Depot and probably got a better price, but I love the convenience
This place looks beautiful and I can’t wait to visit and purchase some of my indoor and outdoor plants for the season!
My husband and I LOVE this nursery! We have a rather large collection of both indoor plants as well as cacti. (Like enough to fill our entire back patio and several bookshelves in the house 🙃) Today we got two huge bags of really good soil plus three plants. I'm always so tempted by the beautiful pots they have but I have to remind myself that I do pottery. I make pots! But I still loooove theirs. They have a pretty big selection of indoor plants. They usually have at least one or two varieties that are hard to find! Today I got a regular ol' golden pothos, I somehow don't have any classics right now! A neon queen pothos, gorgeous leaves! And a beautiful green princess philodendron, we repotted it when we got home because it was SO dry that the soil was hydrophobic. Good excuse to break into our new soil! (Humble brag, my husband made the pot the philodendron is in ❤️)
Staff is always wonderful and friendly!
I really, really debated writing this part. Let me preface this by saying that if you live in the Irvine area you will know that we have mealy bugs EVERYWHERE. Seriously, look at a plant in your neighborhood. It'll have mealy bugs. So, all that being said...my philodendron had mealy bugs. 😬 I am sure it's nearly impossible to keep pests from spreading in the greenhouse! So I don't really fault the nursery, it's just kind of part of plant life.
No matter the bugs, I will gladly keep coming back!

Great selection of indoor and outdoor plants plus virtually anything else you need for your garden. They now have Christmas decorations available. Extremely knowledgeable staff that can answer pretty much any question about plants that they have.
I enjoyed visiting and shopping at GTN.
The plants are healthy and beautiful. I want them all❣️ The staff are all so knowledgeable, helpful a friendly. I cannot wait to go again.
I have recommended this nursery to all my Inland Valley friends and family🪴

Amazing and sweet nursery, it feels like a small slice of outdoor heaven without leaving the city. So many cool plants, fountains, pots, tools and trinkets. They even had a holiday area which I didnt get a chance to fully look at but I will be back
I love this place. Unique, well stocked with plants and wide variety of related supplies, always someone around to ask a question or look something up. Friendly staff. Never much waiting to be checked out. Awesome independent business were lucky to have around.
Nice place even if you just want to browse. The best part is how healthy their plants are. And the staff offer great advice when asked.
Without a doubt, Green Thumb in Lake Forest is the best nursery in Orange County. I have used them for over 50 years. They have a tremendous inventory and knowledgeable and very helpful staff!
I’m so glad I found this nursery! I love the variety of offered plants and being able to support a local business. The plants I’ve bought so far are beautiful and thriving. It’s a great place to shop and I’ve had lovely experiences so far!
They have an excellent selection of varieties for plants like camellias and azaleas. I am also thrilled with the bonsai selection. This is our “go-to” nursery.
I bought a pretty stained glass stake garden ornament for a friend's patio. She loved it.
They are always so eager to help out with my questions. My tomatoes were great this year.
Our favorite nursery in Ventura. Since we just moved here 2 years ago we have plenty of plants and greenery needs. The staff is super helpful.
Love Green Thumb Nursery. Last trip we bought a house plant (Spider) and Blueberry Plant (Jewel). Both beautiful! Halloween decorations are great. Super nice people.
It was a lovely experience I had on my last visit as it was always. I am visiting the nursery today for more shopping!
Thank you GreenThumb!
Thank you GreenThumb!
I always love the tomato varieties available. The larger ones are the mortgage lifter. The yellow are the Hawaiian pineapple. The smaller reds are celebrities
Always neat and clean. Rows inside and out always have room for a cart. Plants always healthy and well tended to. Associates helpful and always willing to assist.
Every time I go there all my plant care questions are answered with a genuine concern for the best outcome for my garden. Not only that they are always so nice.
Green Thumb never disappoints. Great knowledge and even better customer service. Any questions about plant care are answered with a smile and true concern about helping me get the best outcome for my garden. Thanks to you all.
I found them in Ventura,CA while visiting my son……had so many plants to bring back to MS…..had to ship my clothes so I could put plants in suitcase…..then I found them online……have purchased a couple times there…..best packaging and fast shipping!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The staff here are always super helpful and their vast of cool and different plants out numbers any nursery around. The prices are fair and they always have everything I need with knowledgeable staff. Love this nursery!
After 36 years of living I finally got to buy a shy plant I’ve always heard about and dreamed of having. lol it’s the little things. 🙂

Green thumb has a fantastic selection of plants, it’s my go to place to shop. They carry varieties that you can’t get at HD or Lowe’s.
Such a calm, beautiful place to spend the weekend looking for plants. The prices seem better than the Big hardware stores and the plants seem way healthier.
Have never been disappointed with finding plants that we were looking for, or plants we didn't even know we were looking for.
The associates at Green Thumb Nursery are very friendly, helpful, and provide excellent customer service. Going around the nursery is relaxing and they have a lot of interesting plants for sale.
Beautiful Nursery. They have a wonderful selection of trees and plants. I’ll be back
Everyone working at the store is helpful and knowledgeable. Get great help
with vegetables and plants as well as hardware and patio items. Worth the trip every time.

Green Thumb became my favorite nursery. It is full of all my backyard needs. They have great prices and rare plants. It’s a must nurses to visit in Southern California!
This place is amazing. It is so beautiful, upbeat staff, and an amazing atmosphere
Friendly and helpful staff! I was able to get everything that I needed for my bonsai tree. The prices were affordable as well. Great selection!
This nursery is amazing in the way that they help their customers and with the plants they have available. This nursery is massive and has from the the fanciest of ferns to the heartiest of house plants. If you’re looking to spruce up a living space or start a new orchard this is the place to go
THE place to go for plants! Biggest fruit plant selection I’ve seen in town with some rare varieties.
They carry all kinds of berry bushes and fruit trees, tropical and stone. Just no citrus due to the recent HLB quarantine. Employees are super nice and helpful with questions. Clean and the place always smells good. The plants I’ve gotten from here are healthy and thriving.
I recommend making a trip down to the San Marcos location if you’re looking for an even bigger selection.

Green Thumb Nursery is just one of those places that feels good to be in. It’s really well run—everything’s organized, clean, and thoughtfully laid out—but what stands out most is the people. Every time I go, I’m met with genuine smiles, helpful advice, and a contagious kind of positivity. You can tell the team really cares, and that energy makes a huge difference.
Their selection of plants is amazing—not just in range, but in the taste behind it. Everything feels curated in a way that’s sophisticated but still welcoming, whether you’re a total beginner or know your stuff.
It’s rare to find a place that combines knowledge, kindness, and great vibes so effortlessly. I always leave with something beautiful, and in a better mood than when I arrived.

Love this store! You can be left alone or get help. Everyone is so friendly. I buy plants and fun yard decorations.
Green Thumb Nursery is an easy and fun way to shop for flowers and plants. The generous display gives me a nice choice and there is always a knowledgeable attendant to help.
It is also interesting to look at all of the garden related items inside. Yes, I find it worth driving the distance from Dana Point.

Nice selection of plants but the real stars are the employees! A lovely gentleman asked what we were planting and walked us through the recommended soil and fertilizer and gave us pointers. They also have little shopping carts for your tiny gardeners 😍
Excellent advice, nice selection, good prices, been going there 35+ years.
I highly recommend Green Thumb. They are well staffed with experts and knowledgeable gardeners. I love their huge selection of plants. I can always find what I’m looking for. It’s my go to nursery.

When I plant my Polinator Garden, I always rely on GreenThumb. They never let me down, they always have everything I need and the plants are top quality!
I have shopped for my plants and bulbs for many years! I also bought my BBQ at Green Thumb. My family loves the BBQ an added bonus while plant shopping. They helped me figure out the appropriate size needed it was a birthday gift for my husband. 😎
I always have a great experience at Greenthumb. The staff are very friendly and the quality of the plants are exceptional and they have a very good return policy if there’s a problem.
I can get lost here walking up and down the aisles looking at all the beautiful plants.
This has been my go to nursery for many years. Kind staff and quality plants!
Great variety of plants plus much more you didn’t know you wanted or needed!
Green Thumb is always my very favorite place to buy plants and other items for the house and garden. They have so many varieties of plants and the people who work there are always helpful. I have gone there for years and they have always done their very best when I have had a question and answered it thoroughly. In fact, they designed my large outdoor patio and a beautiful job for me.
I love going Green Thumb everyone is so helpful answering questions on plants or problems with insects
they always have a lot of healthy plants and garden supples
I know I will find what I'm looking for.

This nursery was absolutely the best!! Very well stocked and every plant you could imagine. As well as the clerks knew their business!!! Definately worth going to.
Excellent customer service and selection! They have some nice cultivars of japanese maples and Flame Thrower redbuds!
The Goddess and I went here looking for variety...and we found it! They have a huge selection of plants, along with some very knowledgeable and helpful people. The only reason I gave four stars is due to prices. This place is more pricy than some places, but if you are looking for plants, you should give this place a try.
This is my favorite nursery ever!! So glad it's not too far from where I live 🥰
I had two needs. First was figuring out why a newly planted passion flower didn’t thrive ( it was planted too low), second was finding a vining flowering plant to cover a wall- that didn’t lose its leaves in winter. They helped me with all that and more.
Go there if you want answers to life’s persistent questions.

I visited for the first time and was impressed by this beautiful plant nursery, which offers a wide variety of plants, seeds, soil, and more. They have an extensive selection of gardening tools and everything you need for gardening. It truly is a gardener's paradise and playground! I highly recommend this place. Their prices are also competitive compared to other big box stores.
We went to Green Thump Nursery on Sunday afternoon to buy a couple of herbs, bedding flowers, and Arabian jasmine plant along with other essential items. It's a really beautiful nursery with a vast variety selection depending on your needs. My daughter really loved it walking and couldn't
Thank me and my wife enough for bringing her there. The staff at green thump nursery are an amazing bunch of people. Every single person we interacted with was very helpful. They went above and beyond with their service and kindness.
Once again, thank you all for your kindness and the amazing service ❤️ 🙏

Patrick the sales associate and Jason the sales register associate. Where both very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend these 2 people. They were not pushy in any way. Better then the other nursery I called. Oh and Brendan was awesome and solved all my questions of the phone
Green thumb offers great plant and flower selections at very competitive pricing. Bulb selection is terrific - try the dinner plate dahlia tubers in the spring! Sarah is the best. The staff is so helpful!
Such a fun experience, buying plants for my spring garden (100% still living) and then buying a couple of decorations in the garden center. I received great customer service in the garden center and inside. Don’t forget to check out the gifts in the back and all the cute things to decorate your yard.
Green thumb is your neighborhood nursery! Their team designed a backyard garden within minutes we had a design on paper that we could give to our gardener to install. We purchased all of our plants at green thumb w help of their experts.
We have also taken pictures of diseased plants or brought in leaves they immediately told us how to resolve problem. We also purchased pottery all at affordable prices.
Thanks green thumb 👍

My wife and I purchased our home 47 yrs ago, most if not all of my landscaping was fro green thumb.. To this days, most have flourished…
I know, I can always trust Green Thumb Nursery for the superior quality plants, fertilizers, soil and even getting all your questions answered by their plant experts and talking to them instilled in me a love for gardening. Over and above they have a great collection of garden decor items and other nicknacks! Always a joy to just to browse...you never know what treasure you'll find! So thank you Green Thumb for the inspiration and for always being there 🙏

I have to drive about 25 minutes to get to the Green thumb nursery, but it is well worth the trip. They have a wonderful selection of flowers, plants and vegetables for my garden. Their employees do such a wonderful job of caring for the plants and they are healthy and thriving when I bring them home. The employees that work at Green thumb are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Honestly, Green thumb nursery is one of the top places on my list to shop.
We are at the point that you can buy anything online. There are so many online nurseries that you can order at two in the morning and that’s very convenient but something about Garden something about the physical : that dirt and plant and the human interaction that beats any website out there. thus the place like this nursery is priceless, you not only see the plant that you getting, touching it , feel it but also the expert advice for your local area that give you instructions and direction to make your plant in your garden a successful endeavor . Plus, they are local so support your local business and stop by and see what this asset is, right in your “backyard”.
I could literally spend my whole day @ Green Thumb just looking and re-looking at all they have to offer. Their employees are pretty incredible too, very knowledgeable and helpful as I pursue making my polinator garden the best it can be. I was chosen to be one of five gardens highlighted in my cities annual garden tour - thanks in large part to Green Thumb! 🌸😁🌸
The workers are very knowledgeable and happy to help me with finding what I needed. I purchased a plum tree and some potting soil. The tree is very healthy and growing very nicely.
Nice store. Good selection of plants. This is a great backyard plants. This is the store if you want advice or help. The people here know their stuff. They even have an advice help kiosk in the middle of the garden area.
During the holidays they have a great Christmas set up with ornaments and trees as well as Christmas town sets.

We had a wonderful visit to Green Thumb Nursery and brought home a lovely little lemon tree. Special thank you to Elijah for his exceptional service! Elijah was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgable. He expertly guided us in selecting the perfect lemon tree for our garden. We're thrilled with our purchase and highly recommend this nursery.
This is my favorite nursery. They are very knowledgable and friendly. The plants here are also very well taken care of with a large selection. Highly recommend this place for your gardening needs.
They are always well stocked with vegetables. Always have an abundance of different types of lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc. The customer service and everyone that works there is also very well versed and as always available for any questions and concerns that might come up in the garden.. And if you're looking for indoor plants you can stop looking cuz they've got an entire area just dedicating to that.
I love going to Green Thumb, I have my special route I take when I arrive. The staff are friendly and helpful.
The best home gardening store ever! I have been shopping at Green Thumb since I was little. And now as an adult, I see why my parents always came here. The best plant variety, quality, and prices.🤗🌸🪷🪴🌵🪻🔥🪙🏷✅️✅️✅️ I always find plants at Green Thumb that just aren't available at big box stores. And the decor is also unique. Will come back as long as their doors are open.
Green Thumb is a great nursery. They carry a great variety that cycles a little with the season. The grounds are beautiful and very serene. Its a nice way to spend time just walking up and down the isles. The staff is always helpful, albeit busy. There is a lot to do and see. You can address most if not all garden needs at Green Thumb.
This nursery has so many beautiful indoor plants! Large selection! There is so much more to see, for sure one of my favorite nurseries
I can not recommend Green Thumb highly enough. The sales staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The plants are well cared for and nicely maintained. The greenhouse is my favorite type of "treasure chest".....I always find something new and interesting. The selection of bird feeders is substantial. Garden accessories, pots and decorative items are all very appealing. I believe the pricing is fair and in line with other similar establishments.
It remains one of my favorite places to shop!

I visited on Mother’s Day to find native narrow-leaf milkweed and Dudleya, not the most common plants. I was helped by four different employees to locate those items, but left with both! Each employee was courteous and helpful. I will shop there again, even though there are several nurseries closer to my home.
Green Thumb always has a great variety of healthy, beautiful plants and flowers. Their staff is knowledgeable and always happy to answer even my most basic questions! It's my favorite place to shop!
Convenient location, friendly staff. 98% of the plants I purchased from here are still going strong after 10 years!
Wonderful nursery with amazing selection of plants.
In the Spring they have great garden veggie starts that are unique and fun to grow. If you are looking for something different or out of the ordinary their selection of perennials and trees has something for everyone. The prices are reasonable and the staff are helpful. The selection of plants is exceptional. I encourage anyone who loves gardening or plants in general to visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Green thumb has everything you need. They have taught me, helped me and supplied me with healthy plants, a large variety of pots, soil, pavers and yard decor.
I’ve been going to Green Thumb nursery in Lake Forest for decades! It definitely is my happy place! I think they must say “here she comes AGAIN “ when they see me coming.😂 The plants are always so healthy , the staff is s very friendly and helpful. Once when the cashier asked Patrick, he took a ceramic pot and caladium out of my 94 year old moms cart , disappeared with it and came back with it perfectly planted decorated with white rocks so she didn’t have to buy a bag of dirt! Above and beyond! 🌱🪴
It’s such a pleasure to walk around Green Thumb Nursery. There are so many plant varieties to choose from. I love the garden art, too. The staff are helpful and friendly. Great prices as well! I love Kathy’s YouTube videos!
My plants with the best longevity have all been from green thumb. I’m not the best plant caretaker, but by far out of anywhere I have purchased plants, theirs are the healthiest and stay healthy after taking them home. Also- their pots are the best selection I’ve seen! Super trendy and cool
We recently upended our backyard to put in a pool. Our entire yard needed landscaping. We searched around for deals and service and have always found ourselves coming back to green thumb! We really appreciated their landscape design offer and would recommend it for anyone who needs it. Spend $750 on a gift card and you get to meet with a designer for your project. The staff are friendly and helpful (if they’re not occupied by all the other customers) and the value is much better than we’ve seen at other nurseries. We always enjoy our visits!
I've been going to this Green Thumb for many years and always enjoy coming here! The selection is great and the people are helpful! Plus I enjoy their online newsletter!
Anything garden related, you can find here. Fairies for your garden or live ladybugs and worms for your plants. Flags and flowers of all kinds. Greeting cards and garden gnomes. I enjoy just walking the plant rows, enjoying their beauty.
Such a beautiful place with a lot range’s of flowering plants, cactus , trees , water plants. The staffs were so friendly. We enjoyed buying plants as a family
I started shopping at Green Thumb 🪴🌹🌷🌻🌼🌵🪷🎍 nursery a couple years ago and found this an awesome place to shop. This is a family owned business and they decorate super cute for all the holidays. They have an abundance of plants and trees. I bought my Christmas tree there this year and it was amazing. The staff Camrin and Chris were so helpful in the garden area. In fact, all the employees there are super helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this nursery for anyone in the area.
Great place. Good assortment of plants and very helpful staff. The only reason it gets 4 stars is that it's a bit pricey.
Always so nice visiting (and buying yet another new plant) and walking around, especially around the little pond 😉
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 I'm 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!
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.

I've 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 I've 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!
