Talini’s Nursery & Garden Center

I came here after first going to Oak Park’s new Plant Foundry which was wildly disappointing. I needed a couple planters and houseplants. Upon walking in Greg greeted me and asked if I needed any help and pointed me in the right direction. I was impressed with their houseplant selection and they carry lots of beautiful planters. Greg was attentive, knowledgeable but not overwhelming. And since I was with my baby he loaded everything into my car. I’ll definitely be going back here for other gardening needs.

I just love how beautiful it is there. They have great Talevera pottery. I also like the shop kitty. When I bought a plant they looked up wether or not it was poisonous fir cats when I asked about it.
So, I’m pleased with my plants.

Called them today for a specialty brassica, and they will get it this week! They have some of the best looking plants around. Small business, good service.

Really liked this place, the staff was friendly and they had what we needed. Some of the pots we found there were cheaper at other places, but that’s ok. Overall pretty good and knowledgeable staff.

Great little place, great staff! This is my go to place for organic amendments.

I love this little place, are used to live down the street and I used to walk here to get things or sometimes just to walk around the nursery. It’s well-​organized well-​kept and the staff is very friendly. Prices are reasonable for being a smaller store. The inside store has a lot of really cool things and more seeds and you could shake a stick at. I always warmly greeted and they typically always have what I need. They even made a donation to the organization I work for with a bunch of kids and they gave is a bunch of vegetable starts for the school garden. I definitely recommend this company not only for its great environment and knowledgable people but also to keep the small-​town shops alive and thriving. This one would be a shame to lose. One piece of advice is to not park on fulsome boulevard but around the corner it’s much safer getting in and out.

I love this place! Such a relaxing place with great one of a kind items for the garden. And the people are very helpful! :)

They have a great selection of plants and herbs! I was looking to support a local company and planned to spend quite a bit of money here but the customer service sucks!
As I was walking through the area with the plants, there are 2 ladies watering plants and they both look away as soon as I make eye contact. No hello, no smile. I was in the outdoor section looking at the roses for at least 15 minutes and I eventually googled rose varieties that would suit me. Some one else walked by me to go to the employee back area and still there was no acknowledgement.
I moved away from the roses to where the hydrangeas are, and the same lady I encountered early is watering the hydrangeas and it is clear that I was in her way. Still no acknowledgement and I wondered if I was invisible.
It had to better inside the store, I thought. This was not the case. I walked by a younger employee who totally ignored me. I walked back outdoors and I have never felt more invisible!
I am taking my money very reluctantly to home deport (they are 5 minutes away from my house but drove 25 minutes in a desire to support a local business

The staff is personable and knowledgeable. Was able to get the product we needed to fight critters in our garden. The gentleman that helped us was so naturally at ease and was just a pleasure to talk with. Will continue to be a customer as long as we have a garden. Thanks Talini!

Love this little nursery for it’s succulents. Bought an interesting, little cactus about a month ago. I love it.

What a fantastic gem in Sacramento!!! I could have spent hours here just looking at all the gorgeous plant selection. AND I learned that I have been overpaying for my air plants for quite some time now. They had small for $.99, medium for $ 4.99 and assorted larger ones priced individually. And a great selection of succulents as well. I bought a few smaller ones for $ 2.99 each. I will certainly be coming back once I start landscaping my backyard.

I knew I was going to pay more here but as a new gardener, I was in need of advice. I was impressed with the amount of staff available and the excellent customer service. This will now be my go-​to spot for gardening needs and I can justify the higher prices by reminding myself I’m supporting a local, independent business.

I like this small but really nice nursery lots of great plants – good prices. Cute garden items Helpful people

I am SO disappointed. Last year I purchased 4 succulents, two didnt last a month. This year I bought four more and 3 had milli bugs a died. I am not new to succulent gardening. I have 50+ succulent plants and have never had a problem. Way over priced, especially to just get plants that die or have bugs! I get healthier plants at walmart, home depot, and lowes. At half the cost!

Forget about long walks in the park — Talini’s Nursery & Garden Center kicks any park’s ass.
I head over there with a specific agenda, such as «Get a bromeliad». Inevitably, my errand turns into hours’ worth of wandering the grounds, appreciating all the gorgeous plants and reading the hand-​written descriptions.
Recently, my roomie and I made a trip over there to buy plants for our garden. We found that they carry organic plants, and we picked up eggplant, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, basil, thyme, rosemary, zucchini, and a «ZZ» houseplant. All are flourishing, despite the bipolar weather we’ve had lately.
Instead of shopping carts, Talini’s provides little red wagons for customers to load up. OK, so they’re a little hard to steer but it adds a bit of fun and nostalgia.

Wonderful locally owned neighborhood gem–
Go for the wide selection of plants, beautiful garden décor, outdoor furniture, art, (and very knowledgeable staff). Linger in one of their their beautiful little sitting areas amidst the trees and all the greenery for sale.
Looking for something Rare? Unusual? Organic? Native? It’s probably here.

4 stars for products, 3 stars for location, 2 stars for service. I still want this place to be better.
Yikes. As the saying goes, «your money’s no good here,» if it’s a Benjamin, that is. I spent 30 minutes perusing plants and soil amendments (with minimal assistance) and got to the register only to be told they wouldn’t take a $ 100 bill.
«Fine,» I thought (with smug self-​importance), «I’ll just take my cash to Home Depot.» But after searching the garden dept. there, I ended up buying nothing but gloves. Happy Frog soil amendments or organic fertilizers for your vegetable garden? You won’t find any at HD, and neither did I.
So it was, with a sheepish grin and smaller bills, I slunk back into Talini’s, handed over some cash and left with the goods.
Bottom line: Good stuff to buy, overpriced, don’t expect any tips on gardening.
— Just in case, here’s my previous review:
«Expensive. Parking sucks. No one ever around to help you. Same pottery I’ve been seeing for the last 5 years. But it’s convenient to East Sac-​ers and it’s locally owned. Just don’t go in needing a lot of advice about Eureka vs Meyer lemon, what’s wrong with my plant, soil amendments etc., I always find it hard to chase someone down and get real advice. They have some nice flowers you won’t find at the H. Depot type nurseries, but you’ll pay! This is an accumulation of 5 years and about 30 visits. »

I never tried Talini’s Nursery because it seems so small when I drive by, but finally gave them a try after I lost my beloved Capitol Nursery chain. And whatdyaknow, Talini’s has a surprising amount of stock for their smallish property. Considerable flower and food plant selection (really liked their antioxidant berry collection), beautiful pots and containers, some lovely garden furniture and statues, and cute gifty stuff inside the actual store.
The prices seem a bit high and the parking lot sucks to get in and out of, but otherwise Talini’s is definitely worth browsing for my greenery needs.

I could spend hours (and a lot of money) here.
Talini’s is much larger than they appear from the street. Their backyard seems to dominate the block and is kind of breathtaking when you first walk in — rows and rows of plants and colors and smells, and usually even a few butterflies to complete the scene. They have everything from cacti and succulents to bonsais to herb and veggies to trees, and a great selection of each.
The service is friendly and knowledgeable while still knowing how to leave you alone so you can browse. Some items like pots are more expensive than other places, but the plants themselves seem reasonable. When I was looking for herbs it seemed like a lot of them had more dead leaves and general lankiness than you usually see at Home Depot, but maybe this is because they have been there longer.
I recently bought a Thai Basil plant that is doing very well, and some lady bugs that saved my herbs and veggies from an aphid infestation. Gotta love aphid genocides, and all for the low cost of $ 8!
There is very limited parking and it is actually pretty hazardous to get in and out of the lot. The fake geese are terrifying and make me jump every time, but I’ll be back!

This garden center is not very big and kind of inconspicuous amongst a lot of other businesses on Folsom Boulevard. I’d driven by for years without noticing it and then for more years without stopping; but since so many nurseries have closed I was looking for someplace to go where they really know plant’s and gardening.
A friend told me this was a wonderful place, so I finally stopped in to check it out. I have to agree; it is a wonderful place.
They have decorative pots, fountains, trellises, and plants of all kinds including gorgeous roses and trees, a shade garden area, annuals and perennials, decorative items, information and supplies, organic herbs and vegetables.
It’s surprising by its size just how much they can pack into it, and everything looks well cared for and healthy.
I didn’t have a lot of time to spend today, but I will be returning again now that I know what they have. It is so much nicer than going to a big box store where all too often the employees neither know or care about plants and gardening.
