I was helped out by a young dude who was very aware of the care and need of these plants. Friendly. I felt comfortable getting this plant even thought I'm notorious for killing plants, even succulents haha. I love the layout. It's peaceful and there's a lot to see you just have to dig around sometimes. Decent prices I think, but I don't know what the prices of plants run so... I guess they're fine. I'd come back for more, assuming I can keep this plant alive.

#1: Everything in this store is over priced! You would think you are getting Organic at this rate, but nope-all conventional.
#2: All plants I bought from here died with in one week or several months later! I thought it was a joke because I planted the Avocado tree and it died within one week, so I figured that was the horrible joke played on us and the reason they call themselves 7 day nursery-because their plants do not last longer than a week! When I called them to discuss, they said to bring it in and they would do an exchange. However, I live in Los Angeles and it took me a while to find

An exceptionally caring place! Billy understood my distress that a gift lemon cypress died on "my watch"" and through a series of texts sent pictures of possible replacements, offered to order it exactly the way I wanted it, texted when it was in, and was there when I went to pick it up and pay, plus a little pruning. Pretty exceptional in my experience of a nursery! Thank you, Anne

They have a great selection of pots but unfortunately most of them lacked drainage holes which I thought was pretty funny! They have a good selection of house plants at prices much better than they could be. I appreciate the variety of shapes in their terra cotta and clay pot selection. I was able to get some inexpensive but unique terra cotta pots for some propagations that needed a home! Wish that they labeled everything more clearly.

I've been a loyal customer to this place for over 10 years. But it's all been downhill the last few months. I bought a couple of plants and a small tree and all three died within six months. I went in and talk to the manager Billy and he basically gave me this passive aggressive response saying that I must have been responsible for their deaths. Maybe he didn't realize who I was a landscape engineer with a passion and significant experience in all things gardening. After he kind of dismissed me, I asked my husband to join me and we both talked to him and it was even worse. This is

Extremely well located! A little crowded to get around, but there seems to be plenty of staff to help you. We were surprised because of the selection they have of terracotta planters for patios. We have looked in probably 5 to 10 different nurseries in the Santa Barbara Carpinteria area and hadn't found what we were looking for. But here right under our noses we got what we needed. That was amazing. Perhaps even more surprising, we have been looking for Meyer lemon trees in a 15 gallon or larger size and had discovered that no one from Goleta to Ventura had any because of the huge demand for them

I had been looking for a Monstera Deliciosa, and I've also driven pass this place multiple times and never thought to go in!
They had exactly what I wanted - happened to be the last one left. I originally went in just to buy some potting soil, but after seeing their amazing selection of indoor houseplants... I had to make a purchase.
The employee who helped me was so kind and helpful. Definitely going to come here for all my planting needs!
I wish my apartment was big enough for a Fiddle Leaf Fig!!

Out of maybe 15-20 nurseries I've been to in my life, this place is definitely my favorite. They have a huge variety of succulents, which is why I stopped by. I saw some for sale I've never seen anywhere else, so I was excited to buy them and add to my collection.
They have a huge selection of outdoor and indoor plants, flowers, trees, vegetables and all seemed very reasonably priced.
They also have a large variety of pots and gardening supplies, which always seem expensive, so I wasn't too shocked at the prices here.
The lady who rang me up was very polite, told me the name

I was driving through Santa Barbara and decided to stop by this nursery to pick up a new plant for my home. Unfortunately the customer service was so awful I couldn't in good conscience give them a dime. None of the 5 or so people working there said a word to us for the 40 minutes we were there, but were quick to greet and help the older white people wandering around near us. In fact, I was clearly looking at a plant and considering purchasing it and an employee literally took it away at the request of another customer who wound up buying it. The employee didn't say a word, just took

7 Day Nursery is beautifully laid out with a variety of lush, robust plants - vines, shrubs, fruit trees - you name it, 7 Day sells it. They also have an ample selection of luxury ceramic planters, expensive enough to take a round trip flight to Europe or Southeast Asia, but, lovely all the same.
You can't miss it perched on the corner of the busy intersection at State St and Los Positas with its bountiful trees and elegantly, manicured shrubs.
What really sets 7 Day Nursery apart for me is the exceptional level of customer service by its staff, and the knowledge and passion they seem
