Great selection!
Nice nursery but you can’t get in the driveway. No parking. No turnaround. Poor on street parking. So, if you could get in, it’s a nice nursery but it reality it’s a traffic jam
This place is small but they do have quite a bit on site. I usually go for the basic stuff flowers and tomatoes. There is a green house I’ve never been in. I don’t even know everything they have. Also a good selection of terracotta pots for smaller plants. Succulents and cactus inside too.
Fantastic selection, particularly of local plants, and fair prices. Don’t live nearby, but this is one of my favorite nurseries anywhere.
I dropped in the other day asking what I could plant in my community and Tessa was super helpful. I had stopped at Perennial Nursery earlier in the week and not only were they not helpful, only wanted to water, but the girl reeked of weed.
Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Good selection of gardening products.
Just came from Villager about 11 minutes ago. They’re pure gold, and THE best local source for gardening information.
This place was very nice. Conveniently located off the main drag it was easy to find. They had little wagon carts to load your plants onto. The selection of plants was so wide in variety it was amazing. They had a lot of plants suited for the area to tolerate the cold and the animals. I initially was just popping in to look and before I knew it I’d left with a variety of spring and summer flowers and some mountain strawberries. The staff was very friendly and informative and very helpful and all the prices were very reasonable. Ill definitely be back for more and tell others as well.
Everything. Can order anything you need. Hydro store not necessary. More affordable. More fun.
Much more knowledge. Great staff. Please be nice to them.
Very nice people
Very knowledgeable and great staff. You can ask them anything about truck plants and they know it because there locals. Also have a great selection, we enjoyed visiting there.
Nice peaceful, relaxing nursery. People are friendly and informative.
Knowledgeable , helpful !
Fantastic staff. Amazing selection of plants! Very reasonable prices!
Went today trying to start some landscaping. I was looking for drought tolerant types of plants. Everyone was super helpful. I felt that the prices were good and the plants were very healthy. I got a bunch of lilacs and a few other things. Will for sure come back when I’m ready to tackle more projects.
Nice stop. Grabbed a bunch of organic potting soil and was Very happy with the price.
My wife, three-year-old daughter, and myself had a fantastic experience at this nursery. They had such a huge variety to choose from that made it difficult to fit everything in our car by the time we were done. So much good stuff as and such helpful kind folks there to assist you with your gardening needs and questions:).
Excellent service, thank you Eric!
Great stuff. A bit expensive.
I discovered Villager Nursery 4 years ago. Wonderful place. Tons of great plants beautifully displayed. Knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.
Open during the crisis, very knowledgeable and kind staff. Very happy to work with you no matter your experience level. As a civilian customer, with the goal of happy plants in my Sierra home, they do an excellent job. Thanks Rob and the team!
We found the most beautiful little Christmas tree and they let us snap a few photos for our Christmas card this year
Ordered a gift card over the phone and they handled it perfectly…nice to know I can count on them for future gifts to Tahoe family members.
In the town of Truckee is the Villager Nursery. Not only do they sell a big variety of plants, flowers, vegetables, trees, succulents, garden art, gardening tools, supplies… they also provide landscape and design services. Super great!
They even offer classes, seminars, and workshops. The majority of them are free. The classes are taught by experienced botanists, arborists, and garden professionals. Checkout their website and Facebook for further deets.
The nursery setting is beautiful and quite peaceful to walk through. The garden art displayed throughout adds to a tranquil vibe. The pricing is on point. Not big box store cheap but not overpriced either. The staff is approachable if you have questions. During the summer there is ample enough staff walking about tending to the inventory. I observed that not all are garden pros but they will send on over folks that are to help you.
Such a great family owned business with knowledge out the you-know-what! I have been shopping there for years, always with tons of growing questions for my veggie garden. I have been pleasantly surprised by the staff, never feeling ignored. I was just reminded when I recently bought our Christmas tree how much I love this place. Normally we cut ours down but in a pinch I went to the Villager and again was happy I did!
Small town business with great varieties of plants. Prices are great for the quality of plants. Found lots of rare peppers, tomatoes and herbs + native flowers
I’ve spent hours here perusing the plants and picking the brains of the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. Somehow they aren’t sick of me yet! This is one of favorite places to go in Truckee and the best nursery experience you could ask for.
I truly love Villager Nursery! They have an incredibly helpful and kind staff paired with hardy, yet beautiful plants, that do so well in the Sierras! I love to wander through the nursery and appreciate so much how knowledgeable and patient everyone is. I highly recommend you visiting!
This is by far my favorite nursery! They are my go-to place for sierra natives – knowledgeable, friendly and are eager to share their ideas and expertise! Oh, and their two cats are awesome, too!
The widest selection of hardy and native plants for the High Sierra, by far. Owners are botanists and plant lovers and everyone at Villager is passionate about helping customers find the right plants for their gardens. They’ve been at it since the ’70’s and have a LOT of practical experience atop their educations. “We’ve killed thousands of plants in our own gardens so our clients won’t have to” is something we heard them say. The demonstration gardens are amazing as well.
