Reviews
We stopped by Barrels & Branches on the same day we were flying back to New Jersey. Since we were specifically looking for succulents, this was one of the top-referred locations we found on Google Maps.
Just a heads-up if you're turning into the location with a smaller car that has low clearance: be careful, because the angle of the driveway is quite steep and you might bottom out! Once you arrive, though, there is plenty of parking available.
The staff here are super friendly and helpful. While we saw many succulents of interest, most of them were larger than we could easily fly back home with us to NJ, so we sadly could only purchase one unique variety (a pickle plant).… read full review
Barrels & Branches is hands down the best nursery in San Diego! Their customer service is truly unparalleled!! they’re incredibly knowledgeable, take the time to answer all your questions, and even help load everything into your car. They have a beautiful, thoughtfully curated selection that’s unlike anywhere else nearby. After my first visit, I knew I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If you’re looking for healthy plants and an amazing experience from start to finish, this is the place!
