Portland Nursery

Friendly and helpful service. Large selection of plants, both indoor and outdoor. Lots of fairy garden and bonsai supplies. Large soil and fertilizer selection. Children’s gardening supply area. I saw a sign with class schedules on it. Lots to like about this place.

Very friendly and helpful. They were very successful dealing with a myriad of questions. Great variety of plants, reasonably priced! I will be back.

Great selections on all plants. Good sales too 30% off pottery

The staff is so helpful. I’m known for being a plant murderer… I just don’t have a green thumb. The lady hooked me up with some perennials that I can pretty much plant and forget about. They’ve been in my yard for 3 months and they look great!

What’s NOT to love about this place. They carry everything and LOVE to help you be happy.
I found the bamboo I was looking for.
This location is way less crowded and tons of parking.
Nice selection of Bonsai plants to choose from.
My motto is, buy a small plant and pray for patience
They also carry great fertilizers (organic)
I love this place… all locations.
A well deserved 5 stars from me. what they do, they do very very well.

I can find plants here that I would not find anywhere in the Portland area. They have a large variety of plants. I have never been able to look at everything in one visit. Prices are a little expensive on some items, but then again, they have such a large selection! This location has a large variety of tropical plants like citrus and orchids. Everything is well organized and the customer service is great! Everyone working here is so friendly. I like to come by often and just browse.

Beautiful variety of plants and very helpful staff outside. They are always asking if I need any help.
This past weekend we went in to get a few things and their customer service at the checkout could use some work. Two lines were formed and we got behind one person. The employee was having a hard time using the lady’s gift certificate so we had to wait. The guy should have directed us to the other register but he didn’t. The two people on the other register had already gone through and the employee at that register just started folding boxes instead of asking us to come over to her counter. We were about to go over when a group came in to the other ladies line. They went through and finally we were able to go over. They lady looked at us and started folding boxes for a few seconds before she got to us. It was really weird. I think the staff just needs a little review on customer service skills but other than that, I love the place.

Defiantly a great place for premium plants and fairly priced pots… other accessories, like arbors, stake, etc… are pretty pricy here.
However, I asked a simple question about a small sized fiscal and the woman behind the desk was an absolute troll, acting like I was an idiot and very short with the other employee trying to help me.
For that reason, I will not ship here in the future.

Their selection is fantastic and the staff have always been knowledgeable and polite. I love their variety of native plants and plants that draw butterflies, hummingbirds, or bees to the yard.

Beautiful selection and lots of variety. I could stay here all day! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, too!

A great selection of plants during the spring & summer. There is far less available come autumn & winter, but that’s to be expected. They have an easy to find discount/​last chance section which is always nice if you want to take a chance.
I was rather impressed with their selection of non-​hardy succulents during the winter. They had a wide variety of 2−4″ succulent pots ranging from $ 2.99-$ 6.99. Beyond that there were much larger succulents (ruffled echeveria, burros tail, etc) in the $ 20+ range.
One of the less favorable reviews mentions that it was difficult to find staff. I found plenty of staff members when I looked for them. I actually appreciate that they don’t hover while I’m browsing.

This place has an amazing selection of indoor plants, which are helpfully arranged in their enormous space according to light requirements. I appreciate the wide variety of low-​light plants – after all, it’s winter in Oregon. The staff I encountered were super friendly and helpful, too. I will say that although some prices seemed quite reasonable, I thought some were pretty far off the mark. I had recently bought two large, healthy hanging plants from Seven Dees on Powell – a philodendron and a staghorn fern – and the prices on equivalent plants at Portland Nursery were $ 10 more per plant! So I guess if you’re not careful, you’ll pay a premium for the awesome shopping experience at PN, but it’s still very much worth a visit.

Great local nursery. Everything you’ll need to start or expand a garden. The staff is really friendly and helpful. You can learn more talking to someone there for a minute than with an hour of research. Prices are competitive with big chains like Home Depot.

Great selection of plants, flowers, shrubs, trees, and just about anything you can stick in the ground. Prices are pretty comparable to other nurseries but I think the service is pretty darn good. The whole time we were there, Hubby and I observed employees guiding customers around the property. We wondered around looking at all the options for our yard.

Portland Nursery has a great selection of healthy plants. Whats more is that they have a great staff that are always helpful.

I love the Portland Nursery. I can find whatever my novice green thumb needs. Plants galore, gardening tools and the requisite chicken poop if your not lucky enough to have your own chickens.
The staff is super knowledgeable even when I ask the silliest questions which there are always a few. I was having some greenery jonesing in December so I went to the nursery three times and might go a forth. I also went to a different nursery and quickly went back to Portland Nursery. It’s nice just walking around there. I discovered they have one greenhouse filled with winter plants and beautiful wreaths. (This was at the Stark location) A joy!

If I could live here I would.
Division for indoors, Stark for outdoors.

I always love going to the Portland Nursery. I’ve only had one negative experience but I blame it on one person out of a bunch of really great workers there. Great selections, usually down to earth employees, and a great atmospher to mull around looking for plants.

This is our go to place for our organic garden we put in every year. They’ve got an incredible section for that and the plants always look hearty, happy and green.
Speaking of sections, their signage and organization is very easy to navigate while you roam through the area seeking out your huckleberry.
You can also find some of the staff running amuck with their phones in hand, dashing off to help you find your green dream.
Not only do they sell plants but they have an incredible selection of garden décor as well, such as unusual water fountains, bird baths, wind chimes to statues of T-​Rex and even, a large metal moose sculpture! See pic if you don’t believe me!

This is one of the BEST and biggest nurseries I have ever been to. The Portland Nursery on Division is right off the I-​205 which makes it really easy to get to. The only problem is that the place is *huge*.
Tips. I had to do 2 – 3 passes to see everything. I walked all over, and then took a break and had a power bar to eat. After all that I grabbed one of their kid wagons and only then I could make a decision.
Even on a busy Sunday afternoon? There was PLENTY of room for scores of customers to move about and rarely be in the same section as other people. I am not even sure how they did that except that the place is simply huge. This is a serious plus after yesterday when I experienced another nursery clogged with customers blocking aisles or who were mad at the world. Enough already.
But, I digress.
The ‘Portland Nursery’ SE Division St., Portland, OR location has:
a solid shade section, a shade plants for wet soil section, filtered light sections, sun sections, ground cover, trees, shrubs, vegetables, roses, berries, a NW native plant section, hanging potted plants, bamboo, a separate section for Japanese Maple type trees, a tropical wet greenhouse including lots of pond plants, a large bonsai selection, a large cactus and succulents section with *very* unusual finds! Oh – and houseplants with many varieties I had never seen before. Vining plants, annuals, perennials, lots of ferns many which must be 8 – 10 feet tall? It goes on and on.
Plus…
50% off plant tables in several sections, many tools, and 600 different seed packets in JUST the one photo I took of the seeds… with many out of range… so, 1000+ different seed packets? They have awesome pots for those like me who are tired of the same old thing, or need a certain shaped pot to fit a certain place. They had a very large shed with wood planter boxes, wood benches and a whole variety of stakes. They have «rain chains», gifts, and I guess they even have some classes as mentioned on their website
Oh, one thing I noticed is that they have awesome, classic, unusual statues. Not the stuff you see in *everyones* yard — but really, really nice stuff.
I think the prices were normal even though others said they thought it was expensive. Maybe those others get plants from large local chains — don’t know. The plants were very healthy. The staff were friendly and inserted comments about plants I was eyeing on their own. The person at the front register (there are two registers?) seemed genuinely happy to say hello.
I talked to a fellow customer who said he thought the other location on Stark was bigger, but others have said Division was bigger. In either event, this one was easy to get to… and had everything I needed. On another day I will definitely check out the Stark store. Maybe tomorrow. :)
All other nurseries pale compared to this wonderful find. Friendly people, no games… what more could I want? Gardening should be an enjoyable experience, and that is exactly what this was at the Portland Nursery on Division.
