What Our Customers Are Saying
I just visited Ganter Nursery in Vista—what an incredible experience! I picked up some gorgeous roses, fragrant herbs, and a beautiful hanging basket for my home.
Thirty year customer. They are also growers so their varietal selection is off the grid. Insane succulent selection. Very friendly and knowledgeable people (and dog!). Great place to take a big cup of coffee and wander the grounds.
What an amazing nursery! They had the most diverse and beautiful plants I’ve seen in a nursery including these gigantic lilies. They actually had milkweed during Monarch season!Â
Ganter Nursery never disappoints. The most knowledgeable people, friendly and a beautiful nursery off Gopher Canyon that has been around since the early 1970s.
