Walter Andersen Nursery at a glance
Customers frequently praise the nursery for its extensive inventory of fruit trees, native plants, and gardening supplies, noting that staff are generally knowledgeable and helpful with plant selection. Recurring themes include the wide variety of healthy stock and reasonable pricing compared to large retailers. However, several low-star reviews highlight inconsistent checkout experiences, citing unprofessional cashier behavior, and mention issues with phone accessibility and plant health concerns such as pests.

Review from Google · view on GoogleHands down, Walter Andersen Nurseries are the best in San Diego and have been around for, I think, 100 years or so now. Their educational work should be noted too with their podcasts and newsletters as well, as they are very community-focused as well. Wonderful selections, friendly staff, ownership is exceptional. Generations of family member ownership make it that way I think, and I can hardly ever drive by the area without stopping in! They really know their stuff. And did I say the selection is amazing?!
