Whitfill Nursery

Very knowledgeable staff. only nursery In town to seem to have indoor plants. Lots of choices and beautiful grounds. go see «Georgia» she was awesome

Witfill nursery is a tradition in my family. My mother used to buy her house plants here and now and now I do the same. Unlike my mother, and her 10 foot kitchen cactus, I have a yard. Witfill has a wonderful selection of cacti and succulents at very reasonable prices. They are healthy as well. My partner and I always stop when we are in town. Usually we by something huge and prickly. Somehow it always fits. This is also a great place to buy a Christmas tree or poinsettia during the holidays. 3years ago we stopped 15 minutes before closing on Christmas Eve for a tree. They not only found the perfect tree but through in free decorations and a few poinsettias. They have peacocks and goats too! I love Witfill because I know that year after year they will still have beautiful plants and great service.

I love the Whitfills’s on Glendale. I not only buy for my own needs, but I purchase poinsettias for St. Agnes Church at Christmas and flowering plants at Easter. We receive so many compliments about the beautiful plants. I can’t say enough about the helpful staff and wonderful products. Thank you for all your help.

I love nurseries. These are one of my favorite places to explore (and dream). I also like to shop local and at places where people know their product. Whitfill is a great nursery, family owned local spot where I get my annuals, perennials, trees, Christmas trees, even gifts at their adorable adobe cottage. They know their product and are helpful. My only recommendation for Whitfill would be — 1. Create seasonal larger hanging baskets with a variety of plants (I would buy these all the time — it’s hard to find baskets that are big enough to not dry out quickly). 2. Make sure the service matches the prices. I am willing to pay for exceptional service and usually I get it. But occasionally you’re off — nobody is perfect. I will continue to be a loyal customer and thank you for giving me a cool place to explore through every season.

I haven’t been in this nursery for awhile partly because of the lax service and not so good plants I have bought there before over the years. Anyway I wasn’t to far from there, needed plants and thought why not. It was certainly a pleasant surprise when a lady said hello to me on her own and offered to help me. She got me to what I wanted and offered to help me with more later. Another person offered to help me as well! I ended up going home with $ 70 dollars worth of plants and potting soil, to replace the stuff dying from Summerwinds and just more. Funniest part of it was when I got my stuff up to the counter. The person there was having a nice conversation with someone. Finally I asked her who could ring me up. She seemed a little surprised that I wanted to buy all the load of plants and things on the cart I brought to the counter? Oh well. I will go back there. I had a better experience there than I have had in many years.

I’ve been going to Whitfill on Glendale for 8 years, and I always appreciate the excellent plant material and variety they offer. More importantly, Matt, Dustin, Rosie, Mom (Janice) and Grandma (as well as the team of employees) are always there to smile and help with whatever we need. Just today, I went back to request a new 15-​gallon Hopbush for one I purchased back in March that did not make it through the summer. They were most helpful and offered to replace the sizable plant! Matt, in particular, is my go-​to guy and always brings his cheerful smile, vast knowledge and helpful hands when choosing plants and loading them in the car for me. Thanks for being a fantastic neighborhood nursery!

A huge monsoon storm came through our neighborhood a few days ago and uprooted mature trees, knocked over walls, a semi truck, and generally caused a huge mess. Luckily the mesquite tree that Whitfill planted for me 2 months ago was staked and didn’t uproot, but did fall down to about a 45 degree angle and one of the stakes snapped. I called the next day and Whitfill Nursery kindly agreed to come out within a few days and stand the tree back up and stake it again. They came today (2 days after I first called) and added lots of stakes to get us through the rest of the monsoon season, and the tree looks better than ever! Now that it is upright again I can see how much it has grown (tall) and filled out in only 2 months. I really appreciate them standing by their warranty even though damage due to weather is not explicitly covered.

Cool little place, huge selection, but they didn’t have very many small vegetables which I was looking for, and we had someone offer us help right away when we walked in, but had to wait a couple minutes to be checked out. Overall, cool place and will probably be back.

The staff has been helpful! I have went on several occasions and always had very knowledgable service. I am already looking forward to going back. I have yet to kill the plants which is also thanks to them. I strongly recommend them!

Going to have to lower the rating on this place, in a big way. I’ve purchased $ 100s of dollars of plants from these folks, but it seems like they want to play games with pricing now.
Case in point, they have some large 25-​gallon timber bamboo specimens. Having bought smaller 15-​gallon from them in the past, and having a perfect spot, I was interested in purchasing one of these and having it delivered and planted. Thus begins the saga.
Over the phone, because there were no prices at the nursery and nobody around to help on my initial visit when I spotted them, i was told repeatedly and by multiple staffers what the price was, and that it included both delivery and planting. So far so good.
Finally having the funds, I venture down to the nursery to pay and arrange delivery. I picked out he very nicest specimen they had, after flagging down a staffer. This is where it all starts to go down hill. First words out of her mouth after we select the plant, «What did they tell you on price for these?» That’s right, she works there but has no idea, and asks –me– what the price is supposed to be. She gives me a lower amount than what I was told on the phone and I respond, trying to be honest, saying that no, it was a higher amount (and give it to her).
We proceed to the front desk, where the cluster continues. The staffer that tagged the plant with me asks another person, who also has no clue. Asks me what I was quoted and who I talked to. I have no idea what their names were, naturally. I figured the price was the price, so why should I have to know that I spoke with employee X who quoted me Y price on Z date? Another staffer joins into the conversation and, rather rudely, points out incredulously that the price I am quoting is too low if it includes planting and delivery, as if I’m perhaps making things up to save a buck. As nobody can figure this mess out in reasonable time, someone ends up calling the owner (purportedly) to see if they have a flipping clue what their merchandise is priced at. End result? Owner comes back and quotes a price fully $ 150 higher than what –everyone– told me on the phone. I’m sorry, but for a $ 300 plant, tacking on another $ 150 is a bit over the top. I tried to work with them, but there was no budging, no meeting in the middle, nothing. Just an unqualified, «It’s $ 150 more than what you were told before you drove across town to come here. Take it or leave it.»
I decided to leave it, and I ended up walking out. To this day I haven’t seen a single one of them sold, nor have I seen prices indicated anywhere. I’ve been back several times for smaller items that actually have prices on them and where there’s no shenanigans going on. Maybe when they’re chucking these beautiful bamboos into the dumpster or end up having to clearance them out later in the year, they’ll figure out how to run a business and that (gasp!) you need to put prices on your merchandise.
Frankly speaking, you’d think with a 25-​gallon pot, there would surely be enough room to scratch a price on it somewhere, right? But hey, why do that when you can leave it up to whatever the sales people think the customer can afford? There’s no reason not to put a price on an expensive item unless you’re out to play games with your customers.
I will continue to shop there for little things, but I will never purchase any big ticket items from them because you simply can’t trust a word their employees tell you. It’s one price to get you down there, another price when you open your wallet to pay. Lesson learned — if there’s no price on it, don’t bother.

This is a nice local nursery. It has been around for as long as I can remember. The staff is always very helpful and know just where everything is. The plants and trees are very nice and a good quality. I live that they have milkweed for my butterfly garden! The flowers are amazing and the plants extremely healthy. It is a nice little oasis of greenery in uptown Phoenix. The prices are a little more than other spots but understandable with the quality and location. It is just a quick drive down the road for me and worth it. I love that I know I am shopping local when I go to Whitfill’s.

Just had whitfill nursery plant my whole yard. Their staff at the Glendale store are all very knowledgable and very professional. Their delivery crew are the very best. All five trees and bushes were delivered and planted with care and perfectionism. So happy I choose whitfills

They offer a wide selection of plants and trees as well as yard to décor. We tend to come here during the holidays. They have a really good selection of trees although their prices can be a little on the expensive side.
We buy our holiday wreath from here because they offer different sizes and are very full.

I want to like Whitfill. I really do. I’m currently waiting on a second late/​no-​show delivery, and I just got off the phone with the manager, who was apologetic.
I am a Baker Nursery refugee, and after they closed, I decided to try Whitfill, as there are limited, non-​big box options in central Phoenix. I had previously shopped Whitfill for some fruit trees last year, and when I signed up for a consultation with them to survey my backyard, the gentleman never showed up (twice). I’m disappointed that they aren’t coming through again.
Their selection is superior, their in-​store customer service is very good. Their prices are pretty fair, although the delivery charge is egregious considering their poor show-​up rate for it. I worked with associate Matthew, who was very helpful and educational. But, the follow-​through for delivery is sub-​par, and it makes them look unprofessional.
I have a lot of work to do in my central Phoenix backyard, and will need to reconsider working with them, especially if I were to choose the delivery option.

This was our first (and last) visit to Whitfill. For this visit we were working on our front yard. Small project, but we wanted to test the waters of several nurseries before we tackle our beast of a back yard.
This review is somewhere between a 2 and a 3 star. I’m giving them a 3 because 85% of the items we purchased are still alive (we didn’t have Whitfill plant them for us because they were flowers and (to us) it seems silly to have a nursery plant flowers). However, despite the high prices that we ended up paying for these items, they do not cover any plants that they don’t plant themselves, so I guess we just wasted that money.
They have a lot of plants and trees. I would have liked to have seen a wider variety of FLOWERS because I was working with a particular color scheme.
I believe we were only there for about 5 minutes before we were accosted by the owners and some sales people. We let them know several times that we were just wanting to look around first (there is a lot to see there and we really didn’t need a chaperone), but once they started talking we were unable to escape them. Somehow we went in looking for a couple of trees and 3 bushes and ended up ordering 3 trees, 5 bushes, a couple of torchglow bougainvillea, and 6 or 7 flowers (that we really weren’t all that enthused with, but after being there for hours, neither of us was really in the mood to go visit another nursery) and some other odds and ends for them to deliver to us at a later date.
One of the bushier palms that we picked out (the one that we were really excited to put in the new flowerbed) didn’t get delivered and they said we never ordered it. It was the first one that we picked out and distinctly remember him putting the red piece of tape on it for us. The purple leaf plum tree showed up looking a bit smaller that we expected, but it was ok. The leaves looked a little battered, but it’s been in the ground for about 2 weeks now and we are just hoping she makes it, since we planted it ourselves and it isn’t covered by any warranty. Sorry Whitfill, there are too many nurseries that go above and beyond with their post-​delivery services.
Are they terrible? No.
But we have a much larger project that we are working on for the backyard, and as a landscaping partner, you guys came up short.

Whitfill is a beautiful nursery. In addition to the huge variety of plants they also carry pots and garden decorations. They have some really cool birds that hang out and chew on wood. Sometimes I go just to walk around and enjoy the peaceful environment they have created. They also have a gift shop and a coke machine.
The employees are always friendly and helpful and they make up for the high prices. Either way I would still rather buy from Whitfill that WalMart or Home Depot.

We have used Whitfill Nursery For years. They have quite a nice selection of desert plants and drought tolerant ones. The trees they have our beautiful and grow well. When it comes to the garden section, when its in season is very good. What I buy there produces and does well, unlike many box stores.
They have a good selection of exotic plants as well. Which for the more the unusual the better.
They have always had helpful service, though you usually have to hunt someone down or walk up to the cashiers desk and ask, then you have all the help you need.
I will always use them, They are local and I love the idea that they keep the community in mind and its needs, instead of competing with others. Please keep it this way.

Helpful people, good prices, HEALTHY plants and as they say, they still do the digging. I’m convinced Home Depot and Lowe’s get the leftovers, old, nearly dead, root bound plants which they sell at high prices. I got tired of that and stopped at Whitfill. It’s enormous and they know what works here in the desert and what doesn’t. They made great suggestions and then had my properly marked and brought everything out and «installed» the plants beautifully. They did a great job — better than I would have done.

Pleasant. We didn’t plan on coming here – we just saw it from the road and decided to visit. I have been seeing their ads in my mailbox for some time and wanted to see what it was all about.
Huge place. Service was attentive. Lots and lots of plants (flowers, veggies, cacti, palms, decorative, etc,) soil, chemicals, and accessories for your garden. We didn’t buy anything, but it was nice to look around. If my wife were wearing better shoes, we would have stayed longer.
Problems? Well, the prices seemed a bit high in comparison to the big box hardware stores, but if the quality is better, who cares? I didn’t like the fact that many of the plants were unmarked except for a price, so you didn’t even know what you were looking at for quite a number of the items. That bugged me a bit. Maybe they don’t have the time to label everything and the merchandise goes out quickly, especially during the Spring. However, it would be nice to know what such and such plant is without asking for assistance.
Four stars for now. I’ll tell you more when I know more.

I’ve been coming here on and off for the past year or so, and I really do like this nursery. I swung in today to see what kind of stuff they had going on plant wise, and I forgot how huge this place was!
The front part is a lot of the smaller plants, annuals and perennials, hanging baskets, herbs, and general household plants. They also have a really cool greenhouse with all indoor plants with a very large selection to choose from! The farther back you go, the bigger the plants and bushes are, and they have all kinds and sizes to choose from. Tremendous selection of just about any tree, plant or bush you could imagine!
I talked to the girls at the front to see if they had any sales going on, and she said no. I checked out their plants, but I didn’t see anything that caught my eye today. As I walked around, I noticed what an awesome selection they had. Service here is really good, but they don’t have any kind of rewards programs either. I mean, that doesn’t mean I won’t shop here, but in regards to competition, its something to think about if you spend a lot on plants and flowers.
Staff here is really friendly and knowledgeable, easy in and out, great location. I admit, I’ve gone here a few times in the past during what I thought were normal business hours (Sunday afternoons?) and sometimes they’ve been open and sometimes they’ve been closed. (and I mean between the hours of like 1 and 3 PM.) Overall, a great nursery, with a humungous product line!
