The most knowledgeable staff I have ever encountered in a nursery. They know their stuff…and that is important when trying to garden in a mountain environment. They can tell you which plants are best in which environments around your house, and won’t steer you wrong. I had wanted to plant a few things and was actually told they wouldn’t work very well at my house. Very helpful with loading items, and directing me to where I could find things. Go here if you are landscaping and need good, healthy plants. I think only one plant I bought isn’t working where I planted it…but that could be because of inconsistent watering, and a really hot spell after I planted it.

This nursery sells many various native plants in the Truckee area. The staff are so knowledgeable and willing to assist you. Love to go here to purchase my landscaping plant needs.

This has been the nursery I have visited and depended upon through my 30 years living in Truckee. It doesn’t get any better than that. If you need to know anything about planting hardy plants in Truckee – this is the place to go…

On the recommendation of friends, I started going to The Villager Nursery several years ago, and they’ve never give me a reason to look elsewhere for advice, seeds, and plants. Eric, especially, has consistently given me great advice. He helped me turn my yard from a brown dirt patch into one full of native grass, Sierra wildflowers, and cool bushes/trees. I also appreciate that they always talk my language because I am a total novice. Despite my inexperience, they’ve made me feel like a green thumb by helping me get the results I want with minimal investment. Thanks guys!

These guys are overly helpful and nice. Excellent service on the phone and they know what they are doing.

This is one of my favorite places in summer time! They have a HUGE variety of plants and for a good price. The staff knows their stuff and is more then willing to help you out. Bonus: The cats there are the cutest things! My boyfriend played with them the whole time we were there!

I stopped here for the first time (and then repeated visits) this summer for flowers, dirt, etc. Every time I went and had questions about flowers, soil, sun exposure, etc they were very helpful. Then I just went back and they had a great selection of fresh wreaths and Christmas trees in various sizes. The place smelled great! Found the big wreath I need for over my garage and another for my front door. They even said if I wanted a bigger one, thy would order 1 for me. But the one they had was perfect 🙂 I will continue to use them for ALL of my flower/garden AND Christmas flora needs 🙂

This is a great place to shop for flowers and trees! The staff our knowledgeable and a big help since the area is so diverse when it comes to zones and what will or will not survive in the mountains. Glad to have you in our neighborhood.

Amazing selection of Canadian Choke cherry trees that were moderately priced. Excellent knowledge of the plants, our growing zone and willingness to load and wrap the trees in our truck for safe travel. Happy Birthday.

Well this place is absolutely wonderful!! At this Nursery you’ll get get personal service (love) with the kindest, and most knowledgeable employees…… the Villager Nursery has staying power, it’s been here, for many a year, one of the longest standing businesses in Truckee!!!… thank you for bringing us so many beautiful flowers, trees, and helpful information to help us keep our Gardens happy!!!!!

Awesome nursery. Lots of locally grown plants, shrubs and trees from locally sourced seeds and cuttings. The whole staff is great, especially Eric. He knows so much and is constantly learning more. Prices are a little higher then big box stores, but definitely not overpriced. Plants are already acclimated to our area, unlike Reno nurseries. Local knowledge of the area and plant life is paramount to none. These guys really know their stuff! Cons: if your allergic to cats, they have to cats. Pros: they have two awesome shop cats, Hops and Barley. Plus every other aspect of their store is amazing. Pro tip: use Biosol three times a year and nothing else. The results are worth every cent.

Always super helpful and know their stuff.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

We found the most beautiful little Christmas tree and they let us snap a few photos for our Christmas card this year

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!

I discovered Villager Nursery 4 years ago. Wonderful place. Tons of great plants beautifully displayed. Knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.

Great stuff. A bit expensive.

Excellent service, thank you Eric!

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:).

Nice stop. Grabbed a bunch of organic potting soil and was Very happy with the price.

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.

Fantastic staff. Amazing selection of plants! Very reasonable prices!
