This fall we are debuting our online plant sale store to members of the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden. After placing their orders and scheduling their contactless curbside pickup, they were asked to evaluate their experience. View some of the responses below! We hope this inspires new members to join, shop our nursery online and enjoy the easy pickup process.

Online Store Testimonials

Curbside Pickup Testimonials

"The pick-up went very smoothly!"

"I really appreciate all the work that went into the efforts so that we can buy plants from you. It's really impressive. Having to manage the inventory just by itself is a huge effort... let alone everything else. Thank you for doing this."

"The experience was great!" 

"It worked very well, I cannot think of anything else."

"Having Taylor load my plant into the car was great! Also I could ask him a question and return shortly thereafter with 4 rooted cuttings to give him for future Arboretum use. Very well thought out."

"As far as I am concerned, the pick-up was PERFECT!"

"The entire online plant sale was very well organized and the communication with buyers was clear and complete. Kudos to all involved in this complicated operation!"

"The pick-up was smooth as can be. THANK YOU."
