Rillito Nursery & Garden Center

I'm going to say that this place is overpriced...for a snake plant I paid $30 for a small one that's a bit beat up, there larger nicer ones were $90. Their pots are overpriced too so my best advice is to order from easy plant or Amazon both have better deals and higher quality snake plants.

I have been wanting to stop in here for over a year (I live far away), and I finally had the chance to do so a few weeks ago. I was so impressed! They have different sections of plants to browse. It’s the perfect size nursery to walk around. They have many desert adapted plants, a nice pond, cute little trails, good signage, and a cat. How perfect! The customer service was spot on, too. I had questions after my visit and they helped me on Facebook Messenger ID one of the plants they had. I have been telling all of my friends and coworkers about this nursery and I can’t wait to return. Thanks again!

They have a cat. His name is Woody, and he's the best part about visiting here. I often come during my lunch hour (since my office is within walking distance of here) and nothing brightens my days more than walking around and a silly little guy comes up to me while I'm just browsing! Staff are very kind and always willing to help out and give advice, pick out the right gardening stuff and whatnot.

This place is always so awesome. They always have what I need and their employees are super knowledgeable and helpful. They never just let you stand there looking lost. It's like they know when you need help and there's somebody there. However they're not shadowing you and watching your every move so it's not like an annoying thing. They just tend to plan to make sure everything's going well and if they see you standing there looking around they're there to help. They always have really good quality products and they're overall just really awesome. I went there yesterday to get some yellow roses and I was able to find some good quality roses to plant and they look beautiful.

My wife and I bought our first large Philodendron here back in 2005. I needed a large plant as an accent in the corner of my flagstone patio. 16 years later it's still loving it, with roots leaving the pot and established underground. I buy all of my Fox Farm soils and additives from Rillito and even found a nice desert willow some years ago for my front yard. The folks that work herre are friendly and Beth the manager is knowledgable. She can match their inventory to your needs in a flash and can help you choose the right plants for your home's particular elevation and micro-climate. I also bought Papyrus back in 2006 which is still growing nicely as a potted plant. For nursery to last so well over so many years is impressive. Their stock of seeds, soil, flower selections, shrubs, trees, pots, tools, and additives makes this nursery a one-stop oasis.
