    Very friendly and super helpful! They helped me figure out materials for a pottery fountain I wanted to build. It was a joy to Visit and explore all their plants and gardens. Definitely best service I have had in a long time. Thank you! I’ll be back.

    My first time here and I loved it. Everyone was kind and helpful. As a plant mom I have been to other nurseries that were not kind. The environment was stunning. They had a large selection of plants, shrubs, and trees. I found everything needed to make a pond including fish. Great fountains and gorgeous pots. I bought a few plants and a Talavera pot. Plants are thriving. I highly recommend this water garden.

    Fantastic all around! Amazing selection of plants including hard to find pond plants, herbs, fruit trees, cactus, and vegetables. Lots of fish too!!! Can tell they have a true love of gardening with all of their display gardens. Staff was friendly and extremely helpful! Prices were very fair

    We love ABQ Water Gardens! They are great folks and have helped us stock our little pond with lily pads, frog bit, rushes, toad tadpoles and other goodies to make our “ecosystem” successful. High marks ❤️

    These folks have been running this business successfully for many years. Grow many of their plants locally, so they are adapted to this climate. Excellent, helpful service.

    I love this place! I have bought a whole lot of trees and plants here. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I have gotten good advice and tips. The grounds are very pleasant and it is a good place for browsing. All the plants I see seem to be in very good health and well suited to Albuquerque. My two children have a great time when they visit. I really appreciate how friendly everyone is at this place!

    This place has an amazing variety of terrestrial plants and the best selection of pond plants. Im going to go back for a hibiscus and maybe a rose. I got the most beautiful valencia grapevine.

    Beautiful place. I have bought from them before. This year I went to get Chile plants. What a shock to find them selling Hatch Chile. Since there is no such thing as Hatch Chile variety, I was shocked that a reputable nursery would be part of that scam. Specially one in the heart of one of Albuquerque's oldest communities. Please do better our traditions are being destroyed. I left without buying anything.

    I had gone in to check and see if they had lotus and was told the lotus weren't ready yet. So I returned after a few weeks and asked the price. I was told $79. for the dwarf and $99 for the regular size. I wasn't able to take it that day so I had to return. When I did I bought the miniature but when I looked at the written receipt the price for the dwarf lotus was listed as $129. I asked John about it and he said "Oh, we have to charge for the pot" and I said "$50 seems steep for a plastic pot" at which point he started helping other customers, ignoring me. I will not be returning to this establishment because of this exorbitant increase for a plastic pot and then being ignored. its unfortunate because i have been a good customer up to this point.

    Asked guy to grab a couple of water lilies while I loaded other plants. Didn’t notice that they were covered with aphids and they spread to other plants. Be very careful and check plants if you buy from them.

    Staff seem stressed that you're there, as if you're bothering them. Good selection of plants, quality pond liner, might go back if I can't find what I need elsewhere.

👍👍 Me and my fiancee love love love this store! They always have what we are looking for. The prices are always reasonable. The gentlemen are always so nice and very knowledgeable. They also give freebies when they have them, and that's always a plus 😁💚 The last time I was in there they had AC Infini...
