Family-Owned, Since 1972
Founded by San Diego native Bill Tall in 1972, City Farmers Nursery is a family-owned, independently operated, garden center and nursery located in the heart of San Diego.
Today, City Farmers specializes in the hard-to-find items that big box and chain stores just aren’t interested in.
On Two Naturally Maintained Acres
Set on property purchased by Nathan Tall, Bill’s father (namesake of Nate’s Garden Grill), City Farmers maintains every plant, bush and tree as Mother Nature intended.
They carry on the tradition of over four decades of free advice – whether you want to create healthy soil or need help identifying bugs, they’ve got the time and our staff has the knowledge to make sure your garden projects thrive.
A Day-Trip Destination…
Part working-farm, you’ll visit with our animals, see our bonsai, rose, and California natives.
Each month they host classes ranging from growing your first vegetable garden, to canning and cooking, to beekeeping. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to learn, they’re a wonderful first stop.
