Always enjoy this nursery. Beautiful flowers, fun gift shop. Lots and lots to choose from to make your yard pretty.
Easy to get to?Yep! You can just drive in and grab a cart!We’re the staff nice?Super nice-and helpful! I wanted to know if they had a certain type of plant, and they lead my right to them!How was the price?Pretty expensive-but then again most plants are nowadays.Anything worthwhile near?Kind of. It’s pretty close to downtown Lafayette, so you could have lunch there and then go to the nursery.Is it safe to go during COVID?I’d say yes. The nursery is mostly outside and there were signs everywhere saying that you must wear masks.How was it overall?Really nice. They have a wide variety of plants and good info cards that let you know if the plant you’re buying is right for you.Has: 🚻ℹ️♿📱Doesn’t Have: 🗺️🏨🚰🍔🎼🌡Close: 🚻ℹ️🗺️♿🏨🚰🍔🎼🌡📱
We always love going to the nursery! Their selection of plants, both indoor and outdoor, is fantastic! While with any independent nursery the prices are going to be a bit more, they are worth it!If you follow them on Instagram youll find yourself visiting almost every weekend! They are always getting new pots and plants in! The little shop also is always getting fun things for your home in!The best part is that they are pet friendly and always go out of their way to say hi to your fur friends!
We were so happy to find dwarf meyer lemon trees that students could plant on our charity farm the CoCo San Sustainable Farm in Martinez as part of a De LaSalle biology class hands-on experience. Orchard Nursery was the only nursery in Lamorinda that carried them. We always trust the quality of Orchard Nursery and we were not disappointed.
One of the very best Nurseries in the Bay Area. Plenty of room to explore and shop, many hard to fine items at good prices. I’ll be back!!!
Best selection of plants, trees, herbs, vegetables and flowers in probably the entire bay area. The employees are all very knowledgeable, and if they cant answer your questions, they will call someone who can answer your question! Also carry various soil, fertilizer, mulch etc. Ample parking. My favorite time of the year is their harvest festival in October. They have goats & chickens on-site and plenty to see and do for all ages. More than just a nursery.
Today it took three laps around the parking lot before a space opened up.Might be time again for the parking monitor?
Vast selection of plants and garden accessories. Staff were helpful. Discovered this nursery will not special order plants for you unless its a large amount. This is not what website states. Very pricey compared to other nurseries.
Shop is busy and limited parking spaces. I went there to build my home garden which requires more than 20 plants and a tree for multiple quantities. I have a landscape plan designed by the architect and the list of plants. I shows it to a staff for some help to obtain plants. It was a little harsh to hear that staff wont be able to show me plants and just finger pointing to literally the whole nursery area to looking for plants. I should save some time for the trip to this shop. Apparently, they have many plants.
I love Orchard Nursery. Not only will you find a variety of plants, but its a great place to pick up gifts. During the holidays you can buy trees, ornaments and other decor. A gem in the area!
Pricey but lovely with excellent selections!
I have been coming to your nursery for decades, no more! Why are you charging $79.99 for the same rose you charged $49.99 for last year? Not okay. DA has not raised their prices. Ive ordered 6 David Austin Roses from their website for $29 -$30 last week.
My husband and I are thrilled that we worked with Laura Vance at the Orchard Nursery and Florist in Lafayette on the floral arrangements for our wedding day! She has amazing energy and is genuinely excited to work with newly engaged couples. We met with her at Orchard to take a look at the flowers she suggested, which went perfectly with our romantic garden venue. She was very creative in working with texture and color to make a simple and elegant flower arrangement, which is just what we wanted. My breath was taken away by the beauty of the draped flowers on the arbor and she matched our concept of short centerpieces with soft colored flowers. Our wedding party also loved the stunning flower choices of the bouquets, boutonnieres, and wristlets. She also thoughtfully asked if we would like touches of different flowers for the best man and maid of honor and she created the most darling flower girl crown for our 11 month old flower girl. These exquisite flowers brought that romantic feel to our wedding day. Laura was well prepared, on time, and worked seamlessly with the other vendors to get the flowers arranged perfectly. Although we were very busy before the wedding trying to make sure everything was set up correctly, Laura was one person who needed no instruction. She was quick and professional and the results were stunning. We are incredibly thankful to her and the Orchard Nursery and Florist staff for making our day beautiful!
Great nursery. Fabulous selection and knowledgeable staff.
Amazing selection of plants and plant supplies, very friendly and helpful staff.
Flowers and succulents that live well throughout the season. Friendly staff and good parking. A trailer maybe a hard fit but the upper yard will fit a pull through. Quality from the nursery and the Lazy k gift shop. Always fun to be enchanted and take an arm full home with you. Happy Holidays!
Great selectiontion, expertise, an East Bay institution!
A glorious plant heaven year round! A huge variety, and pottery on all levels. Even just to stroll and enjoy is a treat.
Love this nursery. Helpful staff, beautiful plants and well organized. Highly recommend!
Great plant selection. Helpful and plentiful staff. Always good.
Healthy plants, great selection and heirloom varieties, knowledgeable staff. you need it, they have it. they carry plant supports and trellises, which can be hard to find! plus colorful pottery, multiple types of fertilizer and soil, as well as free guides on how to care for some common plants. they also offer free advice via email.
This is a beautiful nursery. They have an extremely wide selection, practically any plant you could possibly want. The staff is also very helpful always willing to inform you about the plants and even how to best take care of them. Definitely the place to go if you are looking to purchase plants or garden supplies.
It was good to visit a store that has such a great nursery! 😍
Very cute location. Amazing variety of plants and trees. And the staff are all so nice and helpful. Definitely coming back.
This nursery demonstrates the abundance of flora that thrive in Northern California. Besides the plants and pottery for sale there are many humorous outside sculptures which are both whimsical and gorgeous. There is wonderful gift shop full of amazing items to buy or just admire. I wish they had a little cafe to enjoy a sandwich or cup of tea in the beautiful setting.
Top quality and selection, best in central county. Prices are higher than most, but l’m not going to knock a star off for it. Staff is usually great, but it gets busy so you may not get the attention you want. Besides people who complain about rude staff are invariably rude themselves IMO.As for the comparison to Home Depot, seriously?
One of my favorite nursery to visit for ideas and specialty plants. Plants are a little pricier than Lowes and Home Depot, but they have awesome varieties and unique plants.
Great plants and terrific service from knowledgeable folk.
Disappointed in the staff, prices, and a number of other issues. I was excited to be their customer when we first moved here, but Im taking my business elsewhere.
Best high end nursery in the area! Terrific plant materials, and a great selection of artistic planters and pots.
Beautiful, well appointed, high end nursery. Vast selection of plants, pots, accessories, sculptures and garden needs. In the spring they carry a wonderful array of vegetables, especially heirloom tomatoes. The staff is hit and miss. Some of them are a bit snotty and above themselves and others are wonderful and delightful to work with. This nursery has separate gift shop that is eclectic and fun. One of the high points is their Christmas tree decorations each year. They have numerous trees all with different themes of unique, unusual and fun ornaments. A Bird tree, a fairy, a sea, or disney tree, so many lovely fun choices. It in itself is almost better than looking for homes with light displays. It is a Christmas must DO! My only reason for the 4/5 star is some of the snotty staff I have dealt with. Oh, dont forget to check in on their turtle pond!! Wicked Cool :)
This is one of my happy places!! I always find unique items/gifts there & staff are very friendly & helpful.
Ok. Lots of variety but prices are $$$$
Beautiful Nursery, huge variety of plants, a bit on the pricey side but worth it!
Great selection of plants and service is excellent. Very Safe!
If you are looking for the highest quality landscaping plants and trees with many rarer varieties, then this is the place for you. The florist is absolutely the best and if you need a gift for the gardener in you life (maybe yourself!) then you this is the place for you. Artistic garden designs begin here with garden art, tasteful furniture and plant containers. The staff is great and they have many public events. A very special place.
Large selection of holiday goods.
Incredible display of flowers plants and accessories. I have never seen so many different types of tomato plants. Staff is always willing to help with whatever questions you have and is very knowledgeable.My mom used to shop here in the fifties 60s and 70s now my daughter shops here. Come here first😎
Awesome service,
This is a wonderful nursery with a fantastic selection of plants. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about what they sell. I love everything I have gotten from here and wish I had room for more
Called at 9am when they opened and was transferred to the nursery department. Inquired about a specific brand of tomato plant and was rudely told they only had a few and hung up on. Called back to get a list of the types. Was told only one in stock and employee made no recommendations of alternatives or offered any additional assistance.Hung up called the cheery folks at Mid City Nursery and I am on my way there.
Lovely Christmas decor...magnificent trees, each decorated with a different theme. Young girls not too eager to move from behind the desk to help you...they point! Lazy K shop nicer.. beautiful wrap!!
Excellent nursery! Display gardens, floral arrangements, and displays are a wonder to take and inspiring. A full nursery with superior customer service and a selection of plants that can feel endless. Plan to spend at least an hour if you want to see everything and then 1 hour to shop ;)
This nursery is so much fun I go here for mini vacations. Its expensive, but they offer plants that are not available anywhere else. And its beautiful.
I have been coming here for years. They have a great selection, but it is definitely pricey. Honestly I would pay extra for something unique but the last few times I have gone I have experienced the rudest people working there. Not to say everyone is because I have definitely had great help but after my experience today, I dont know if I will go back. It was very disappointing and if I wasnt on my way to deliver the gift I was buying I would have put everything down and walked out. Very disappointed.
Great place for Christmas stuff
Helpful people, amazing selection!
Was there last weekend. They used to have a stunning collection of camellia, but not this time we went. The reason for the 2 star is because the staff who was supposed to help us with the roses was not helpful, not even friendly. We asked for his recommendation and he just very impatiently told us “everything we have is good”. Sure, except for this particular unprofessional staff. When we asked for advice on how to plant the roses, all he cared about was rushing us back to the cashier. He brushed us off by answering our questions with just a few words and I felt I was pulling his teeth. I am not saying everyone is bad here, (the young guy who helped us loading the roses was kind) but I would not return because of the bad experience brought by that guy.
On time and much loved by recipients - thank you!
Always friendly, knowledgeable and many choices.
Great occasion people good service
Love love love this place! Great selection of succulents and knowledgeable help in selecting the perfect plants, Thanks Aaron!

High quality goods. Well educated staff. Great community resource.
Excellent assortment of plants, helpful service. Beautiful, nice to just walk around....
Its a nice Nursery theres a lot of different things to look at and purchase.
This place is the best!
Amazing nursery and currently a winter wonderland.
Great variety, but pricey.
Fabulous nursery! Stellar customer service!
Higher prices than even at mom-and-pop nurseries and often 200% of the price for the same plant product or supplies at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, or Lowes.
Nice place, but expensive. They have a whole Disneyland type vibe here and you pay extra for that.
Wide selection of plants.
Wide variety of roses right now.
Great place
Inspiring as always
Love it!
Christmas town!!
I have been a patron of Orchards for a long time. Always helpful and patient. So glad they havent had to close over the years.
