North End Organic Nursery - Garden City ID

I’m having my backyard completely redesigned and some friends from out-of-town were visiting and wanted to gift me a tree. In advance of their visit, I went to several nurseries, including North End, to look at trees to save us all time when they arrived. I settled on a magnolia variety I found at North End; it was small but North End’s price was reasonable. When my friends arrived the following Monday, I took them to North End where we approached an employee, Greg, who was watering. My experience with Greg was that he was inconvenienced by our first question - where the magnolias were. Once we found them again, he left. My friends paid for the tree that we chose but when I told Greg I might need until Friday to pick it up, he was obviously put out and let me know North End usually only holds sold plants for a couple of days. Fine. I made arrangements to borrow a vehicle that would accommodate the tree and picked it up a couple of days later. But, frankly, North End could hardly have been less helpful. My experience at Far West Landscape the prior week was so much different. There I was twice approached by staff in the field who asked if they could help. One spent quite a bit of time showing me tree options. The tree selection was far greater, but the trees are a bit larger and definitely more expensive. Because my friends were gifting me a tree, I chose the smaller less expensive tree at North End. But if there’s a next time and I’m spending my own money, I know where I’ll go, and it won’t be North End.

Always very helpful staff with a lot of unique options. They were the only one within 200 miles that could get the specific blackberry variety I wanted. My only other option was getting it through the nursery which was $105, and it was only $29 at NEON. I know small local stores have a reputation for being overpriced, but most everything is really affordable including their garden supplies like soil.

Wide variety of plants, vegetables, fruit trees, supplements and my wife liked the coffee shop inside. Very knowledgeable staff. I am amazed at the variety of soil amendments that they carry. Feather meal - a long term slow release nitrogen source, green sand another amendment, excellent quality of plants, herbs, fruit trees & bushes. Large pre built raised bed containers, pots and planters. Staff is very friendly especially once you have been in a couple of times. Go to for hard to find items, and a ton of garden related gifts as well. Quite the treat

What an amazing place and resource! I love NorthEnd for many reasons but I think one of my top reasons the resources they have. I have enjoyed the online videos on their YouTube channel. They discuss and guide you through growing native plants and things that will be successful here locally. I also appreciate how climate friendly they are and the effort they make to team up with local resources to help with things like pollination, soil, etc. Knowledge is power and I appreciate they don't gate keep that. My boys even have asked to go back and spend their birthday money there ha! Their prices are similar or lower than places like ZamZows and they have lots of local vendors items in the store.

Wonderful collection of plants. I have taken home several plants now and have noticed a difference in quality and health of the plants from NEON. This isn't just a difference between big box and nursery. Even dedicated garden and plant stores don't compare to my monsteras and spider plants specifically from NEON. Also they have cute puppies 🐶
