Do you grow your own plants?

Yes, a significant portion of our inventory is grown directly on our 10-acre property in Vista, CA. Growing on-site allows us to maintain tighter quality control from the start, so you're getting plants that have been cared for locally rather than shipped long distances.

Do you serve landscapers and contractors?

Absolutely. In addition to retail customers, we work with professional landscapers and contractors who need reliable, high-quality plant sources. Our wholesale customers can speak directly with our sales representatives to discuss availability, volume pricing, and project-specific needs.

How do I find out what's currently in stock?

Our selection shifts with the seasons and customer demand, so the best way to check availability is to call or email us before your visit. That way, you can confirm we have what you're looking for and avoid a wasted trip. You're also welcome to ask about plants we may not have listed, since stock can vary week to week.

How large is the nursery, and is there parking available?

Ganter Nursery sits on 10 acres, giving you plenty of room to browse at your own pace. The spacious grounds make it easy to compare plants side by side, and our staff can walk you through sections relevant to your project. Parking is available on-site.

Do you offer plant delivery?

We offer onsite pickup and curbside delivery primarily within San Diego County. If you're planning a larger order or need delivery to a specific location, reach out to us in advance so we can work out the details that fit your schedule and project scope.
