I showed up a little early before opening time. David opened early to help. I explained to him what I was looking for and he completely walked me through multiple options. I was extremely satisfied with the plants I left with. Great customer service. Thank you. Amazing shop.

Excellent customer service and selection! David is very knowledgeable and answered every question thoroughly while keeping an enthusiasm rarely found anywhere else. Highly recommended for first time buyers. Do not overlook their selection of pots and plant food.

Had a great experience at DNA Plants! David was so welcoming and helpful in helping me choose a plant. They have a great selection, from beginner-friendly plants to rare finds, and the prices are great for the quality. I also love the vibe of the shop. Definitely recommend checking them out!

I went into DnA Plants convinced that I needed to repot my Monstera and was fully prepared to buy a new pot, moss pole, soil, basically the whole setup lol. I showed David pictures of my plant and he immediately told me I didn’t need any of it 😂 He explained that she was actually doing really well and recommended plant food instead. I really appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell me just because I came in ready to spend money. He was super knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely helpful. Definitely found my new go-to plant place! Thanks David!! 🌿🪴

His store is in Barrio Logan where lots of cute stores and nice eateries are around, and the store has a lot of really beautiful plants at a reasonable price that were kept well. Communication was great, and he let me come after their operating hours after I finished work. I am so happy with the plants I got.
