I will be in the area Thursday and Friday and I will be going to a few of these nurseries. There are so many of them, do you guys recommend any certain one that are better than others? Also is there a nursery there that specializes in camellias, i need to pick up a few of them. Any tips and recommendations are appreciated.

Also pay cash and avoid taxes or CC fees.

Doug young… they will give you a map and you just drive through the fields and pick what you want. It’s huge, drive back around to the front and they ring up what you got

Doug Young Nursery

I used Doug Young a few years ago and everything there was really great. I will say for whatever reason their fern prices were higher than local places but everything else was priced amazingly and all did quite well after transplant.

Passed there Sunday. Amazing the amount of nurseries in the area.

Thansk everyone, for all the tips and suggestions. Looking forward to the trip

For Camellias, I would make the trip to Mizells in the Folsom area. They are a Camellia nursery with ~100 varieties in all sizes. Really amazing place.

Never knew of them. I think I’ll take a ride over to Folsom, thanks. If you are in the area, another good nursery is Full Moon in Abita. Good prices, nice offerings.

Seriously? Which place do you recommend?
Posted on 4/30/25 at 7:44 am to tigerrage08
He’s probably talking about Mi Tierra, they make homemade tamales

I meant the Camilla place in Folsom. Thanks.

Doug Young obviously the big one for retail as others have said. They also have Poole Brothers nursery, and Sam Stokes nursery which are across the road from each other. Holloway's nursery off 165 is another retail nursery. Larry Bates is the Camellia man. Can't miss his sign along the road.
Mexican food is always a stop. Best is out of a food truck off of 165 next to a red metal building just south the intersection.

Agree with everything in this thread. Additionally, I would add to keep an eye on the speed limit when driving in the area. One mile per hour over the speed limit will get you a ticket.
