Home Services reviews in Bakersfield, California

I have been a customer of White Forest Nursery for over 15 years. The salespeople there are courteous and knowledgeable. It’s a beautiful place to shop for any of your planting needs. If you haven’t visited White Forest Nursery, I urge you to stop by and enjoy the beautiful and relaxing atmosphere!
Now… to the women that were caught stealing fruit from the salable citrus trees…..shame on you! You mentioned that both you and your mom are educated people, yet even after being asked nicely by an associate not to pick the fruit off of trees you have no intention of purchasing, you continued to do so. Then you try to sabotage their beautiful business by posting a review that basically says you were upset because you got caught stealing fruit. Why you want your family and friends to know that you stole from White Forest Nursery is a mystery to me. Note to all other nurseries in Bakersfield….. watch out if they come to your nursery!

I went in to look for plants for replacing my grass I was put in touch with Zach who spent time explaining the different plants that would be great for my needs, helping me do a rough design and spent time taking me to each of the different plants so I could see them in person. He did this without any pressure to buy anything today. I will definitely be giving them my business when ready to purchase.

bought a beautiful philodendron brasil from here. this place is gorgeous with a wide selection of outdoor plants. would love to come back but won't solely due to the fact that NONE of the employees wore masks or face coverings. they were also shouting at each other from across the store, further spreading potential germs. very gross and careless considering the time we're in. i will stick to dedicated trips a month to la to go buy my plants out there.

First of all, we have been going there for years and have spent a lot of money! Never had a bad experience until now! We went shopping for climbing vines, I find the guy ask him were they are stands in the front of the building, wouldn’t even take to me them! So I eventually find them all the way in the back, only them in one big cluster wrapped around each other. So I had to go find the guy again. We go back there he rips it off and takes most of the flowers off with it! So I ask his if he’s willing to give me a discount and he said no what the price is what it is!!
I will never buy anything from them again!!

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They even have a book that they take requests. If they are able to bring it in they will call you. Well organized. Wide variety of product in various sizes. The day I was there they had a GREAT sale on ceramic pots (50% off).

Great staff, beautiful plants and a large gift and outdoor living accents. Lots of variety and good prices. Everyone is super knowledgeable and friendly and they go out of their way to be helpful. Great for experienced gardeners and also people who want more help and advice about what to choose for their yard.

Very impressed with this nursery - the selection is large and varied, especially the trees. The quality of the vegetable starts is great, and the employees are knowledgeable and helpful. 10 out of 10 would recommend, and I'll definitely be coming back.

We went to look at their tree selection and were not disappointed! We had looked at Lowe's and Home Depot and found their selections lacking. At White Forest we found a beautiful, young jacaranda tree to plant in our front yard (hopefully we get it to survive the winter) and a friendly employee very helpfully grabbed a cart for us. I love wandering the outside lot, and have had great experiences purchasing Christmas trees from them in the past (will probably do so again since we moved back to the east side, recently). Great place to shop for your outdoor spaces, and I'll be back to pick up some hoya plants for indoors, too!

My FAVORITE place to shop for all my gardening needs. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. I just started my garden and came loaded with questions and they were there to answer them kindly and patiently. It’s also a very gorgeous location & can’t beat the pricing!

I have been coming here for more than 35 years. The plants are beautiful and healthy and reasonably priced. I came in this morning to get a hibiscus. They were moved since the last time I was here. I asked an employee who didn’t know where they were. She walked away and never came back. I did find them, picked the one I wanted and went inside to pay. I was completely ignored even when the other customer was through. When I said something, the employee said “I can’t read minds “ I asked if he could read my face because I was really annoyed at the service I received, or didn’t receive. I bought my plant. I’ll always continue to come here because of the plants, not the service. I should have been treated better.

It was a very pretty nursery and everything but I came for indoor plants and was severely disappointed in the selection and the prices for the indoor plant selection was way too overpriced I even saw half dead plants that were still ridiculously priced. I could've gone to Lowe's and got a bigger, healthier selection of house plants for a better price. For the drive out here it wasn't worth it in my opinion... Staff was nice but didn't make much of a difference in my visit. I only bought a couple outdoor plants to make me feel like I got something from the trip. I won't be coming back again.

The nursery itself was great with fantastic selection and the customer service was exceptional. CJ was so patient with us, answering all our questions, which were many, and took the time to help us pick out the best varieties for what we were looking for. Truly an awesome experience. Thank you CJ!

White Forest is an outstanding nursery with thousands of different flowers, shrubs, and trees to select from. They have a knowledgeable staff that is friendly and helpful.

Everything in the right places. Great nursery. Helpful friendly staff.

It's okay

Enjoyed the citrus testing and lesson! Dad was able to find the golden nugget mandarin tree he's been searching for for years 🍊

This is my happy place! Absolutely love it here. So many plants, trees, bushes oh my! Lol. Please, if you haven't been here, give them a try. If nothing else but for the views .

The nursery I've been frequenting is exceptional, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the business I've conducted with them. Their extensive variety of plants is truly impressive, catering to every gardening need and aesthetic preference. Each visit is a delight, with the opportunity to choose from a lush array of greenery, from the most delicate flowers to the hardiest shrubs. The staff's knowledge and passion are evident, as they guide customers through their horticultural journey with expert advice and genuine care. It's clear that they not only provide plants but also nurture a love for gardening within their community. I'm grateful to have such a quality establishment to rely on and look forward to continuing to enrich my garden with their healthy, vibrant plants.

Hate to see this institution go. But they are having a going out of business sale everything is 20 to 50% off so great pricing.

From fruit to shade your going to have fun here. Roses of many color to add to your beauty. Beauty in every find.

I appreciated the variety of fruit trees. The place was very organized. The staff was attentive and had a lot of knowledge of the trees and bushes.
