I am a beginner when it comes to gardening/landscaping, but I recently bought my first house and have been itching to beautify the front yard. I came to Moana nursery after lots of research into which plants would be hardy enough to survive my "brown thumb" and was delighted to find all of the plants I wanted at Moana nursery. I still had some questions and the staff was super helpful in answering all of them.

I enjoy coming to Moana Nursery for all my plant needs! First, the ambiance is just so relaxing both inside and out! They have all kinds of indoor and outdoor plants and all the accessories/soil/fertilizer/yard art, etc you could possibly need. And the staff is always so knowledgeable about all plants and what would do best in which yards! I do think they're a little more expensive, but I will always pay a little more for local, especially with their great service.

Super helpful staff! I was on the hunt for a birthday gift for my brother, and was having a hard time tracking down the perfect plant for the occasion. Kassandra the sales associate was incredibly helpful in assisting my hunt and helped me locate exactly what I needed. She's an angel! Highly recommend this place after the positive experience!

This is typically my go-to stop due to its few convenient spaces. The staff here are super knowledgeable and if you have questions, they'll normally print you a guide to go along with your new plants and trees. The prices are a bit higher than I prefer but the friendly staff and beautiful set up still make this my usual stop when searching for pops of color or soil amendments for my garden.

Moana nursery is one of only a few local plant nursery's in town. They have a decent selection of plants here, they can be a little pricey IMO but they do run great sales in the off-season. Right now for example, they have a 40% off sale all outdoor plants! I scored a bunch of great shrubs and two trees. All looked pretty healthy, some will need a little extra care when planted as they looked stressed. The staff are friendly. Also they have Halloween pumpkins for sale, Moana grown, and cheapest price in town. Only $1.99 per pumpkin!

Lower your expectations. It's a tough labor market out there and wow you can really see the impact. I get the sense that employees are overworked and burnt out. What used to be a friendly, helpful, local option is now just basically local. So run in if your mid-project and need something, but stay away if you're expecting any sort of assistance to justify the up charge. With demand surging right now I guess they can afford to lose out on sales to the big box stores or online.

I went into Moana Nursery today to pick up 3 plants. I was in a hurry, so I asked someone to help me find what I was looking for. I got the help that I needed finding the items. 2 of the plants were a bit wilted and the guy told me to ask for a discount at the cashier. I grabbed what I was there for and was heading out in just a couple of minutes. That's where things went bad. There were 2 women at the cash register and one off shift employee.
They were chatting. The off duty person left when I got there. The other 2 kept chatting for a minute before one turned to help me. I told her that I was told to ask for a discount on 2 of the plants. Since she was still chatting with the other person, she wasn't really paying attention to me. She proceeded to ring them up at the usual price. I told her again and she cancelled the whole transaction and started over, At this point, she could not get any of the plants to scan.
She couldn't figure it out and the other girl was not helping. I had spend twice as much time trying to pay for 3 plants as it took to find them and bring them to the register. I left without the plants. I will be shopping elsewhere in the future.
