Our plants arrived on the mainland after our vacation and we couldn't be happier. They were perfectly packaged, arrived quickly via FedEx 2 day, and look great. I'm very impressed with the excellent condition of plants that we shopped home and as gifts.

Kauai Nursery and Landscaping is first rate. We had a large landscaping job that had an excavator for a week and then planting 30 fruit trees. From the initial consultation to the final product, Kauai Nursery and Landscaping met every expectation. Craig was great to work with and very attentive to our needs. We felt we were working with friends who put our interests first. We loved that they made appointments and were on time every time, answered every question (even dumb ones as moving from the mainland all the new trees and plants were a new experience). With questions on how to take care

Kaua'i Nursery and Landscaping has been around for about 40 years. I've never dealt with their landscaping services, but they have the largest wholesale/retail nursery on the island with great varieties of ornamentals and food plants.

Due to the pandemic, be warned that their hours are only Monday through Friday for now. But the staff makes up for the reduced days! They're always around and offering assistance, and they all know their plants.

Delivery fees vary by distance. They also have a reward program where you get $10 off a purchase after $250 in purchases. Could be better

Interesting to wander around in. Customer service is only ok, and selections are primarily geared to landscaping needs.

If you are looking for certified plants to be shipped back to the mainland, this is your place! There was a great variety of healthy plants, low shipping fees and they took great care in packaging them to be shipped. My two orchids and plumeria arrived in perfect condition. This nursery is a must!

Kimberly was amazing! She greeted me right away.. She went above and beyond to get the plants I was looking for. Even so much as to go to a different staging area to get a plant. She even loaded up my car since I had a hurt foot.
While I was waiting 2 other people checked on me to make sure I was being helped. Such a great selection and customer service! I'll be coming back for sure!!

Beautiful selection! Native plants, orchids, veggies and fruit trees. Their team is super knowledgeable and they also offer landscaping services. I've had a couple plants shipped to me in WA and they traveled well - super healthy (not like some other plants I've received in the mail that you need to bring back to life). Definitely worth a visit!!

Absolutely love KNL! I reached out to them via their website and within a day, Hiroko wrote me back and we began working together on my new front yard landscaping project. I was on the mainland while the whole project was in progress yet I felt completely in loop b/c Hiroko was very communicative. He sent updates via email and even sent progress photos of the project. The new landscaping has completely changed the look of the house and given it the best curb appeal. I cannot recommend Kauai Nursery & Landscaping more highly!

This used to be a nice nursery but not anymore. Staff are rude, uninformative, unhelpful. The whole sales floor is run down, ugly, uncared for stock that is either dying or dead. Most of th stock have no labels. I wasted 50 dollars on plants that I didnt realize were already dying. I told them this and their attitude was basically "We don't care, too bad no refund." Never again. This nursery is an embarrassment to itself.

While in Kauai, I fell in love with some of the local trees and plants, and had to somehow bring them home to Texas. I was told to visit Kauai Nursery and Landscaping and could not have been happier! They have a huge selection of certified plants safe to put in your carry-on, or if you wish, they are happy to ship them direct to your home for a reasonable fee. I walked away with multiple plumerias, cacao trees, and even a vanilla orchid vine! Andi used to work at Lydgate (check them out, that was also an amazing find) so she was so helpful in picking out the best quality cacao and vanilla orchids

We noticed an outstanding set of foo dogs for $585, a good buy. We inquired about shipping and were told they can't ship plants. We tried to explain that they were statues. She had no clue what a foo dog was. It's better to go to Garden Ponds Nursery in Kilauea. They know foo dogs and they ship! Amazing.

As visitors, we drove past KAUAI NURSERY too many times. One day, we decided to stop and just look around. WELL!!!!! There IS something for everyone here. They provide Certified plants, those that can be shipped and carried to the mainlands. We hand carried a plant back to Utah. Please feel free to just stop and have a look around, you might find something unexpected. WE DID!! We found friends!! LOVE this place!! LOVE you Nani, with ALL of our heart <3

Beautiful nursery with knowledgeable and friendly staff. They really went out of their way to help! Lots of great options for plants to bring back to the mainland, packaged and certified on site. We can't wait to come back on our next visit.

Not impressive; came over to see if they can help me identify some seeds I can take over to California and all I got was a direction into one area with only 10 plant seeds; also the employees were young and didn't seem they cared about our questions; it was more of a one word answer... "I am not sure" ... My advice come earlier and not towards closing... Maybe others are better.

I have been meaning to go to Kauai nursery but had the chance to visit there last minute boo :(
I realized that I might need an entire day just to go over their entire landscape of various flora. I bought Plumeria from them and the person who helped me with choosing the stem and instructions on how to take care of the plant was very helpful. He took time to answer all my questions and concerns. It was wonderful having business with them. Hope my plummies grow well in sunny California :-)
