Bongard's Treescape Nursery

Don't let the carefree, and somewhat wild organization (and sometimes not so obvious staff) fool you - this place is legit. If you want plants that are well beyond the variety and size you'd find at a conventional nursery- you've come to the right place. And if you visit the office and chat with the staff you'll find they're keen to help, open to bringing in new varietals and happy to share a love of coastal plants who will thrive in our unique environment.

Zero. Plants are not in good condition. I've never seen more root bounds trees in my life. Looks like you're buying a bucket of snakes. The plants are rarely labeled with a price and definitely have no identification tags.

Half Moon Bay Nursery is 2 minutes away and better priced. Bongard's prices were double hmb nursery for the items I was able to compare.

I'm so disappointed that the princess plant we bought and planted, faded in a few days. Thankfully we ended up getting the smaller $15 one and not the larger $45 one. We're reasonably experienced with plants, live in the climate zone and followed the planting instructions, so this is unlikely user error. Had hoped that it would recover from what we thought was shock of transplanting. Sadly not the case. We're unlikely to go back.

We were there on a Tuesday so the place not busy. We were ready to pay for our plants but the man inside the cashiers office continued talking on the phone and did not even acknowledge our presence, even though he saw us! He continued talking on the phone. Needless, to say, we abandoned the plants and left. He was so rude!

Bongard's is our go-to place for trees and plants. The guy knows his stuff and the selection is awesome. He works with local landscapers and often we just tag our purchases and the landscapers pick 'em up, deliver and plant. And as a bonus, they are on the side of 92 that makes it super-simple for locals to exit to return home, regardless of the day of the week or the time. :D

Large selection of trees and other plants. Was looking for a specific variety of cherry tree from Dave Wilson nursery, and they had quite a few while pretty much everywhere else was out of stock.

Amazing, seemingly endless variety of trees. You definitely need help to navigate it, as there doesn't seem to be an order. Fortunately the owner was friendly and helpful. I'll be back!

This is such a fun nursery! So many trees and vines. We were there looking for an aloe vera plant. When we decided that all of theirs were too large, they provided us with a clipping instead! Keep up the great work!

I'm sorry to say, I don't know how they stay in business. Sold us an expensive tree that was in bad health. The lady there couldn't even tell the difference between trees. And it was obvious she didn't know what she was talking about but acted like she did.

Large nursery is fun place to visit. We about about 20 shrubs/tress of various sizes 1 gallon to 15 gallons, spending about $800.

Seems to have better selection than the 3 other nurseries I visited in HMB and the 2 Home Depots I visited.

I'm just a novice gardener, but I felt this was the best place to start and end my shopping.
