Yelp.com Review - by Janet L.

5.0 of 5 stars. My friend gifted me with an orchid plant, as he is an orchid enthusiast and I was interested in owning one. I don't know much about orchids (or plants, really) but when this showed up in its box in a...

Yelp.com Review - by Clare V.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place FORCES you to have a green thumb (or maybe an entire green limb) because it is so fun, engaging, and lush. The nursery draws you in with a delightful mix of arranged plants at the entrance,...

Yelp.com Review - by Suzanne F.

5.0 of 5 stars. I could live here. Even if it's dead of winter, somehow Portland Nursery manages to make things look lush, verdant, and highly desirable. That is what I so wish my 3 boy/ Jack Russell terrier...

Really helpful staff and great selection

My wife and I have been shopping at Portland Nursery for several years and they usually have an amazing, if somewhat overwhelming, selection of plants and trees, many of which I've never even heard of before...

Yelp.com Review - by Danielle K.

4.0 of 5 stars. Mmmmmmmm plants!Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not much of an outdoors person. I spent most of a weekend camping trip inside the tent, for Pete's sake. Which makes it anomalous that I enjoy field...

Yelp.com Review - by Petra L.

4.0 of 5 stars. I won't lie -- my four star rating is mostly due to the fact that I have a crush on half the staff. It's like a gold mine for scruffy, bearded, gardening men. Aside from that, I'm perpetually charmed...

Yelp.com Review - by Nader A.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Portland Nursery is a bit of an oasis in the middle of a residential neighborhood in SE Portland. It's really sort of calming and pleasant just to wander through the many greenhouses, aisles of...

Yelp.com Review - by Beth B.

3.0 of 5 stars. So any of you who know me know that I am, to put it mildly, into plants. Having worked at several nurseries in the past, I feel I am more than capable to offer a pro's evaluation. Here's the thing....

Always a Great Selection

Always a great selection. The selection of plants tends to be weighted on just the side of standard varieties. You can still find good oddities and rare finds. The prices are sometimes totally out of whack....

Yelp.com Review - by Brandy S.

4.0 of 5 stars. So great! This nursery has been in business for 100 years and it really doesn't get much better than this when you are shopping for plants. Even in the winter they have a nice selection of tools and...

Hugh selection

This nursery has it all. Plants, containers, seeds, soil, bark dust, fertilizers and more. The staff is very helpful and will recommend the appropriate thing for your needs. The prices are reasonable.

5.0 of 5 stars. With two locations serving southeast Portland, Portland Nursery has made a name for itself, selling all the supplies you need to get obsessive about gardening and landscaping. From soil, to pots, to...

Terrible customer service

While Portland Nursery has a nice selection of plants, their customer service was bad enough that I will not visit again. A plant novice, I asked a few simple questions and received very curt answers that were...

Expensive, but worth it

Portland Nursery has a knowledgeable staff and a fabulous array of plants. If they don't currently carry an item, they will often special order it for you. Watch the sale rack for great deals on slightly distressed plants.

Lousy Customer Service

Probably the best selection of plants on the whole in the city - however they carry plants which are considered invasive to native habitat, like the butterfly_bush. They also get low marks for carrying very...
