About Us & Our History

Sarah and Dan McDonnell of McDonnell Nursery
Sarah and Dan McDonnell of McDonnell Nursery

We have established a very strong relationship with trusted growers and suppliers throughout California and the West Coast. Such a relationship is reflected in the variety and exceptional quality of plants we offer. McDonnell Nursery carries both common and uncommon trees and shrubs and throughout the year we supply the most popular seasonal flowers.

With over 70 years of gardening experience and superior customer service, McDonnell Nursery is your resource for Everything For The Garden.

We are a unique nursery and garden center nestled in the beautiful Orinda Valley.

A family-run operation, passionate about gardening and dedicated to customer service, McDonnell Nursery has had the pleasure of serving our East Bay friends and neighbors since 1933.

At McDonnell Nursery you will find a friendly and knowledgeable staff, prepared to address your every gardening need. Whether your are looking for annual flowers or interested in more permanent trees and shrubs, McDonnell Nursery’s experienced staff is here to personally help you with your selection.

Yes, we do. We can pot up your purchased plants into your desired container. We also provide services to plant at your home for very small scale projects (one or two plants). Ask us about the details and associated fees for this service.
No, we do not send anything in the mail, UPS, Fedex, etc.
Yes, every plant needs water, it just can vary quite a bit from plant to plant. Even if you are looking for drought-tolerant and low-water use plants, they need regular watering to get established. Ask us about the specific needs for the plant you are purchasing.
